1Inhliziyo yami iyagubhazela ngendaba enkulu

nxa ngivuma inkondlo yami ngiyihayela inkosi;

ulimi lwami lusiba lomlobi ololwazi.

2Uyilikhwa lamakhwa emadodeni wonke

lezindebe zakho ziconjwe kuhle ngobunono,

njengalokhu uNkulunkulu

ekubusisile lanininini.

3Hloma inkemba yakho okhalweni, wena omkhulu;

zembathise ngokukhazimula langobukhosi.

4Usebukhosini bakho khwela enqoleni ulokunqoba

umele iqiniso lokuzithoba lokulunga;

akuthi isandla sakho sokunene senze izimanga.

5Akuthi imitshoko yakho ecijileyo icibe inhliziyo zezitha zenkosi;

akuthi izizwe ziwe ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakho.

6Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi,

Oh Nkulunkulu, sizakuma nini lanini;

intonga yokwahlulela okulungileyo

izakuba yintonga yombuso wakho.

7Uyakuthanda ukulunga njalo uyabuzonda ububi;

ngakho uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wakho

usekubeke ngaphezu kwabakhula bakho

ngokukugcoba ngamafutha entokozo.

8Zonke izembatho zakho ziqholiwe ngemure,

langenhlaba langekhasiya;

ezigodlweni eziceciswe ngempondo zendlovu kuqhamuka

inhlokomo yeziginci ekuthokozisayo.

9Amadodakazi amakhosi akhona

kanye labanye abesifazane abahloniphekayo;

kwesokunene sakho ngumlobokazi wesikhosini

oceciswe ngegolide lase-Ofiri.

10Lalela, ndodakazi, nanzelela uvule indlebe;

khohlwa abakini, lendlu yakwenu.

11Inkosi iyaphelelwa ngobuhle bakho;

yihloniphe, ngoba iyinkosi yakho.

12Indodakazi yaseThire izakuza lesipho,

amadoda anothileyo azazincengela kuwe.

13Ngaphakathi exhibeni layo

inkosazana yibucwazicwazi;

isembatho sayo sicecisiwe ngegolide.

14Isiwa enkosini yembethe izivunulo ezelukiweyo;

abakhaphi bayo bayayilandela

balethwe kuwe.

15Bangeniswa lapho ngentokozo lenjabulo;

bangena esigodlweni senkosi.

16Amadodana enu azathatha isikhundla saboyihlo;

lizawenza abe ngamakhosana elizweni lonke.

17Ibizo lakho ngizalenza

likhunjulwe kokuphela yizizukulwane zonke;

yikho-ke izizwe zizakudumisa nini lanini.
