1 Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, awu Nkulunkulu;
2 Ngikhulula kubenzi bobubi
3 Ake ubone ukuthi bangicathamela njani!
4 Angonanga lutho, kodwa balungele ukungihlasela.
5 Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla,
6 Bathi bephenduka kusihlwa
7 Ake ubone ukuthi baphihlizani emilonyeni yabo:
8 Kodwa wena, Oh Thixo, uyabahleka;
9 Oh Mandla ami, ngiyakulindela;
10 Nkulunkulu wami olothando.
11 Kodwa ungababulali, Nkosi hawu lethu,
12 Ngenxa yezono zemilomo yabo,
13 babhuqe ngolaka, babhuqe bangabi khona futhi.
14 Bathi bephenduka kusihlwa
15 Bayazula bedinga ukudla
16 Kodwa mina ngizahlabelela ngihaya amandla akho,
17 Oh wena Mandla ami, ngihlabelela indumiso kuwe;
