UZimu ulawula indalo
1Haleluya!
Kuhle ukurhubela uZimethu!
Maye kumnandi kangangani!
Iye, indumiso imfanele!
2Umakhi weJerusalema nguSomnini,
ubuthelela abahlakazekileko bakwa-Israyeli.
3Uphulukisa abaneenhliziyo ezaphukileko,
abophe amancebabo.
4Ubala inani leenkwekwezi,
abize enye nenye ngebizo layo.
5IKosethu yikulu, namandlayo makhulu,
ukwazi kwayo akulinganiseki.
6USomnini usekela abathobekileko,
athobise abakhohlakeleko.
7Vumelani uSomnini ngokuthokoza,
nikhalelele uZimethu ngeharibhana!
8Yena osibekela umkayi ngamafu,
alungiselele izulu kobana line ephasini,
ahlumise utjani eentatjaneni.
9Unikela iinlwana ukudla kwazo,
ngitjho namadzinyani wegubulu nalilako.
10Ukuthaba kwakhe akukho emandleni wenjomani,
namkha ukujabula kwakhe eenthumbeni zendoda.
11USomnini uthaba ngabamesabako,
iye, abaqalelela ukwethembeka kwakhe.
12Babaza uSomnini, wena Jerusalema,
udumise uZimakho, wena Ziyoni,
13ngombana yena uqinisa iinqabo zamasangwakho,
abusise abantwabakho abangaphakathi kwakho.
14Wenza ukuthula ngemikhawulwenakho,
akwanelise ngamabele anonileko.
15Uthumela umyalwakhe ephasini,
ilizwi lakhe ligijima ngebelo.
16Wendlala iliqhwa inga buboya,
arhatjhe isithwathwa njengomlotha.
17Wehlisa isinanja sakhe njengeroro.
Alo, ngubani ongajama
phambi kwamakhazakhe na?
18Uthumela ilizwi lakhe lincithikise isinanja,
avuse ummoyakhe, amanzi ageleze.
19Wembula ilizwi lakhe kuJakopo,
imithetho neemiso zakhe ku-Israyeli.
20Asikho isizwe akhe enza njalo kiso;
imithethwakhe ayaziwa kiso.
Haleluya!
