UJehova uyinqaba yokuphila kwami;

₂Ekusondeleni kwababi ukuba badle inyama yami

abamelene nami nezitha zami bayakhubeka, bawe.

₃Noma impi imisa ngakimi,

noma ngivukelwa ngukulwa,

nokho nginethemba.

₄Kunye engikucele kuJehova,

ukuba ngihlale endlini kaJehova

ngaphezu kwezitha zami ezingihaqileyo;

ngizakunikela iminikelo yokwethaba etendeni lakhe,

₇Yizwa, Jehova, ngikhala ngezwi elikhulu;

yiba nomusa kimi, ungiphendule.

₈Kuwena othi: “Funani ubuso bami,”

inhliziyo yami ithi:

“Ubuso bakho, Jehova, ngiyabufuna.”

Nkulunkulu wensindiso yami.

kodwa uJehova uzakungamukela.

ngenxa yezitha zami.
