1Sizizwele ngezethu indlebe, yebo Oh Nkulunkulu

obaba basitshela

owakwenzayo ensukwini zabo,

ensukwini zekadeni.

2Ngezakho izandla wazixotsha izizwe

wagxumeka obaba;

wabahlifiza abantu

wenza obaba baphumelela.

3Kwakungasinkemba zabo ezathumba ilizwe,

njalo kakusingalo yabo eyaletha ukunqoba;

kwaba yisandla sakho sokunene, ingalo yakho,

lokukhanya kobuso bakho, ngoba wawubathanda.

4UyiNkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami,

ophayo ukunqoba kuJakhobe.

5Ngawe siyazihlehlisa izitha zethu;

ngebizo lakho siyazigxobagxoba izitha zethu.

6Angilithembi idandili lami,

inkemba yami kayingiletheli ukunqoba;

7kodwa wena usipha ukunqoba phezu kwezitha zethu,

abalwa lathi ubathela ihlazo.

8Siyazincoma ngoNkulunkulu ilanga lonke,

njalo sizalidumisa ibizo lakho nini lanini.

9Kodwa manje ususilahlile wasiyangisa;

kawusaphelekezeli izimpi zethu.

10Wasenza sahlehla phambi kwesitha,

abalwa lathi sebethethe impango.

11Wasiyekela sadliwa njengezimvu

wasichithachitha phakathi kwezizwe.

12Wathengisa abantu bakho ngengcosana nje

awazuza lutho ngalokho kuthengisa.

13Ususenze saba lihlazo kubomakhelwane,

inhlekisa lendumazo kwesihlalisene labo.

14Ususenze saba yisiga phakathi kwezizwe;

abantu banyikinya amakhanda ngathi.

15Ukuyangeka kwami kuyangilandela ilanga lonke,

ubuso bami buhuqwe ngehlazo,

16ngokuhozwa yilabo abangisolayo

njalo abangenyanyayo,

ngenxa yesitha esijonge ukuphindisela.

17Konke lokhu kwenzakala kithi,

lanxa sasingakulibalanga;

asathembeka esivumelwaneni sakho.

18Inhliziyo zethu zazingabuyelanga emuva;

inyawo zethu zazingaphambukanga endleleni yakho.

19Kodwa wasichoboza saba yikudla kwamaganyane,

wasembesa ngomnyama omkhulu.

20Aluba sasesilikhohliwe ibizo likaNkulunkulu wethu

loba saphakamisela izandla zethu kunkulunkulu wezizweni,

21kambe ngabe uNkulunkulu kakubonanga lokho na,

njengoba esazi imfihlo zenhliziyo?

22Ikanti ngenxa yakho wena sikhangelane lokufa ilanga lonke;

sithathwa njengezimvu ezizahlatshwa.

23Vuka, Oh Thixo! Ulaleleni na?

Ziphaphamise! Ungasilahli kokuphela.

24Ubufihlelani ubuso bakho na,

ukhohlwe ukuhlupheka kwethu lokuncindezelwa?

25Sesibhuqwe phansi othulini;

imizimba yethu isinamathele phansi.

26Phakama usisize;

sihlenge ngenxa yothando lwakho olungaphuthiyo.
