“Nina zindonga zeZiyon, iinyembezi maziqukuqele okomfula imini nobusuku;

musani ukuphumla, namehlo enu ningawaphumzi.

₁₉Vukani nihlahlambe ebusuku ekungeneni komlindo wobusuku;

intliziyo yenu mayiphuphume okwamanzi phambi kweNkosi.

Ziphakamiseleni kuyo izandla zenu, ngenxa yobomi babantwana benu

abayobayo ngenxa yephango ekungeneni kwazo zonke izitalato.”

₂₀Khangela, Ndikhoyo, ubone;

ngoobani owakha wabenjenje?

Ingaba abafazi mabadle inzala yabo na,

abantwana ababampelesayo?

Ingaba umbingeleli nomshumayeli uthi mababulawe bafele esibingelelweni seNkosi na?

₂₁Eluthulini lwezitalato kulele umfana nexhego;
