UZimu usiphephelo sethu kwabambi
1Kumkhaleli; kuJedutuni; irhubo lakaDavida.
2Umphefumulwami uzithulele kuZimu kwaphela;
isindiswami ivela kuye.
3Nguye yedwa olidwala nesindiswami,
iye, isiphephelo sami,
angeze ngasikinywa linengi.
4Kuzabe kube nini nidumela umuntu
kobana nimhlanganyele nimbulale,
khisibe unjengeboda eliwako
nomthangala obhurukako?
5Baneqhinga lokumketula
esihlalweni sakhe esiphakemeko
benamela ikohliso:
ngemilomabo bayabusisa,
kodwana ngeenhliziyo bayathuwelelisa.
6Mphefumulwami, ziphumulele kuZimu kwaphela
ngombana ithemba lami livela kuye.
7Nguye yedwa olidwala nesindiswami,
iye, isiphephelo sami,
angeze nganyakaziswa.
8KukuZimu ukusindiswa nokwaziwa kwami;
idwala lobuphephelo nerholo lami nguZimu.
9Thembelani kuye ngeenkhathi zoke nina bantu,
thululani iinhliziyo zenu phambi kwakhe;
uZimu usiphephelo sethu.
10Abantukazana bamumoya nje,
abantu abaziinkhulu bayikohliso;
esilinganisweni bayakhuphuka,
boke balula kunommoya.
11Ningabeki ithemba ekudlelezeleni,
ningabi nethemba elililize lobugebengu.
Nanyana umnotho wanda,
ningabeki ihliziywenu kiwo.
12UZimu ukhulume kanye,
ngezwa kabili:
Amandla angawakaZimu.
13Kukuwe ukwethembeka, Somandla
ngombana uvuza umuntu ngokwemisebenzakhe.
