Uze kusisindisa.
3Thixo, sibuyise,
Ukhanyise ubuso bakho, sisindiswe.
4Yehova, Thixo wemikhosi,
Kunini na uqhuma umsindo wakho ekuthandazeni kwabantu bakho?

6Ùsenzé into abaxabana ngayo abamelwane bethu;
Iintshaba zethu ziyasigculela.
7Thixo wemikhosi, síbuyise,

Nemisedare• kaThixo ngamasebe awo.
11Wasa amasebe awo elwandle,
Namagatya awo kuwo uMlambo.•

Ukuze bawukhe bonke abadlula ngendlela?
13Ingulube yasehlathini iyawubhuqa,
Nento edakasa endle iyawudla.
14Thixo wemikhosi, khawubuye,
Uqondele usemazulwini, ubone,
Uwuvelele lo mdiliya.
15Yikhusele into esiyityeleyo isandla sakho sokunene,
Unyana lo uzizimaseleyo ngokwakho.

Bayadaka ngokusongela kobuso bakho.
17Isandla sakho masibe phezu komfo wesandla sakho sokunene,
Phezu koonyana babantu, ozizimaseleyo ngokwakho.
18Àsiyi kumka kuwe;
Síphilise, silinqule igama lakho.
19Yehova, Thixo wemikhosi, sibuyise,
Ukhanyise ubuso bakho, sisindiswe.
