1Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu ongisindisayo,

ebusuku lemini ngikhala kuwe.

2Akuthi umkhuleko wami ufinyelele kuwe;

phendula indlebe yakho izwe ukukhala kwami.

3Ngoba umphefumulo wami ugcwele inhlupheko

lempilo yami isilengela engcwabeni.

4Ngibalwa ndawonye lalabo asebesiya egodini;

senginjengendoda engelamandla.

5Sengahlukaniselwe kwabafileyo,

lezidumbu ezilele engcwabeni,

wena ongasabakhumbuliyo njalo,

abangasekho kulabo obanakekelayo.

6Usungifake egodini elitshona okudlulayo,

ekujuleni okumnyama bhuqe.

7Intukuthelo yakho iyangeleka;

usungigalulisile ngawo wonke amagagasi akho.

8Usungithathele abangane bami abasekhwapheni

wangenza ngaba lesidina kubo.

Ngivalelwe kangiselantuba;

9amehlo ami asebona kalufifi ngenxa yosizi.

Ngiyakubiza, Oh Thixo, insuku zonke;

ngiphakamisela izandla zami kuwe.

10Izimanga zakho uyazitshengisa kwabafileyo na?

Kambe labo asebefile bangavuka bakudumise na?

11Uthando lwakho luyamenyezelwa engcwabeni yini,

ukuthembeka kwakho endaweni yokuBhubha na?

12Izimanga zakho ziyaziwa yini endaweni yobumnyama,

kumbe izenzo zakho zokulunga elizweni lokungabikho na?

13Kodwa ngikhala kuwe ngoncedo, Oh Thixo;

ekuseni umkhuleko wami uyafika kuwe.

14Kungani, awu Thixo, ungifulathela

ungifihlela ubuso bakho?

15Kusukela ebutsheni bami ngavele ngahlupheka ngaba seduze lokufa;

ngiphethwe yikwesatshiswa nguwe, sengize ngidangele.

16Intukuthelo yakho isingigabhele;

ukwesaba wena sekungiqedile.

17Ilanga lonke kungihanqile njengesikhukhula;

sekungigalulisa nya.

18Usungithathele abakhula bami lengibathandayo;

ubumnyama sebunguyena mngane wami oseduze.
