1Modimo, o re latlhile,
o re thubakile;
o ntse o le bogale;
a ko o bo o re rudise gape.
2O reketlisitse lefatshe;
o le fatogantse;

ka le a roroma.
3O supeditse batho ba gago
dilo tse di thata;
o re nositse bojalwa jwa mofine
jwa go theekedisa.
4Ba ba go boifang,
o ba neile mokgele,
gore o bonadiwe ka ntlha ya
boammaaruri. Sela.
5Boloka ka seatla sa gago se segolo,
mme o re arabe,
gore moratwi wa gago a gololwe.
6Modimo o buile
mo boitshepong jwa one;
“Ke tlaa ja koma;
ke tlaa kgaoganya Shekeme,
ke tlaa lekalekanya molapo
wa Sukothe.
7Gileate ke ga me,
le Manase ke ga me,
Eferaime le gone
ke phemelo ya tlhogo ya me;
Juta ke thobane ya me ya bogosi.
8Moabe ke mogopo wa me
o o tlhapelang; setlhako sa me
ke tlaa se latlhela mo Etome;
wena Filisitia,
goa ka ntlha ya me.”
9E mang yo o tlaa nkisang
mo motseng o o thata?
E mang
yo o tlaa nkgogelang mo Etome?
10Wena, Modimo, a ga o a re latlha?
Mme le gone Modimo,

11Re nee thuso

gonne go thusa ga motho ke lefela.
12Re tlaa dira senna ka Modimo,
ka e le one
o o tlaa gatakang baba ba rona.
