Ilizwi lakaSomnini elinamandla
1Irhubo lakaDavida.
Nina madodana kaZimu,
nikelani uSomnini,
iye, mnikeleni iphazimulo namandla!
2Nikelani uSomnini iphazimulo yebizo lakhe!
Mkhothameleni nembethe izambatho ezicwengileko.
3Ilizwi lakaSomnini lingaphezu kwamanzi,
uZimu wephazimulo uyararambisa;
iye, uSomnini ungaphezu kwamanzi amanengi.
4Ilizwi lakaSomnini linamandla;
ilizwi lakaSomnini linobukhosi.
5Ilizwi lakaSomnini lephula imithi yemisedari;
iye, uSomnini uphohloza imisedari yeLibhanoni.
6USomnini wenza iintaba zitjekule njengekonyana,
iye, iLibhanoni neSiriyoni njengekunzana yekukhama.
7Ilizwi lakaSomnini libabela amalangabi womlilo.
8Ilizwi lakaSomnini lizamazamisa irhalawumba;
iye, USomnini uzamazamisa irhalawumba leKhadetjhi.
9Ilizwi lakaSomnini lithintitha imithi ye-owuku
lenza amahlathi asale awohlokile.
Ngesigodlweni sakhe boke bathi: “Iphazimulo!”
10USomnini uhlezi ngaphezu kwamanzi wesibhakabhaka;
iye, uSomnini uyabusa, uyikosi isiphelani.
11Kwanga uSomnini anganikela abantu bakhe amandla!
Kwanga angababusisa ngokuthula.
