1Awu, Thixo, usilahlile!
Ngoku sitsho soyisakala.
Wena usivelele ngomsindo.
Nceda, khawube nebuyambo.
2Wena uwunyikimisile umhlaba;
wona utsho wazama-zama; kungokunje uyaqhaqhazela.
Nceda ungcibe ezo ntanda.
3Abantu bakho ubavise inkxwaleko;
ewe, usitsho sazizinxada-nxada.
4Ubanike intshinga abakuhlonelayo;
ubahluphezile ukuze bazuze uloyiso.
5Nceda ngamandla akho usivelele,
ukuze basinde abo ubathandayo.
6UThixo uthethe *esesibingelelweni sakhe,
wathi: “IShekem ndiyayahlula-hlula,
ngoloyiso ndiyayihlahlela;
intili yeSukoti yona ndiyibenge.
7IGiliyadi yeyam, noManase ngowam.
UEfrayim lelona xhadi lam;
uJuda ngumsimbithi wam.
8UMowabhi yintili yam yebhongo;
ke yena uEdom ndiyambanga.
EFilistiya ndikhwaza uloyiso.”
9Ngubani onokundisa emzini oxhotyisiweyo?
Ngubani onokundisa e-Edom?
10Noko usilahlile, Thixo.
Awusaphumi nemikhosi yethu.
11Sincedise ezintshabeni zethu:
kaloku olomntu uncedo luphuthile.
12Ukuba uThixo ungakuthi siya kuphumelela;
uya kuzinyhasha iintshaba zethu.
