1Yehova, Thixo ongumsindisi wam,
Mhlenikweni ndikhalayo ebusuku phambi kwakho,
2Mawuze phambi kwakho umthandazo wam;
Thoba indlebe yakho ekuhlahlambeni kwam.
3Ngokuba umphefumlo wam uhluthi zizinto ezimbi,
Ubomi bam bufike kwelabafileyo.
4Ndibalelwe kwabahla baye emhadini,
Ndisuke ndanjengomfo ongenamandla.
5Ndingumkhululwa phakathi kwabafileyo,
Njengababuleweyo, belele engcwabeni,
Ongasabakhumbuliyo;
Bona banqunyulweyo esandleni sakho.
6Ùndibeké emhadini ongaphantsi,
Ezindaweni ezimnyama, ezinzulwini.
7Ubushushu bakho bundishicilele,
Ùndithobele onke amaza akho alwayo. (Phakamisani.)
8Ùbashenxisele kude kum abo ndazana nabo,
Ùndenzé isikizi kubo;
Ndìvalelwe, andinakuphuma.
9Iliso lam liyaphela yingcinezelo.
Ndidanduluka kuwe, Yehova, yonke imini,
Ndizolulela kuwe izandla zam.
10Ùya kuyenzela abafileyo na imisebenzi ebalulekileyo?
Kuya kuvuka abangasekhoyo, kusini na, babulele kuwe? (Phakamisani.)
11Ibaliswa engcwabeni na inceba yakho?
Enzonzobileni na, ukunyanisa kwakho?
12Yàziswa emnyameni na imisebenzi yakho ebalulekileyo?
Bàziswa ezweni lokulibala na ubulungisa bakho?
13Ke mna, Yehova, ndizibika kuwe,
Kwakusasa umthandazo wam wókuhlangabeza.
14Ùwuhlambelani na, Yehova, umphefumlo wam?
Ùbusitheliselani na ubuso bakho kum?
15Ndilusizana, ndiyinto efayo kwasebuncinaneni bam,
Ndithwele izothuso zakho, lindikhohlile.
16Kugqithé phezu kwam ukuvutha kwakho,
Izidandathekiso zakho zindibhangisile;
17Zindijikelezile njengamanzi imini yonke,
Zindizungulezile kwaphela.
18Ùmsusile kum ondithandayo nonguwethu;
Abo ndazana nabo babubumnyama.
