1. Ndikhoyo, wuve umthandazo wam,nesikhalo sam masifike kuwe!
2. Sukundizimela xa ndisebunzimeni;ndiphulaphule undive kamsinya ndakukhala.
3. Imihla yam ithe shwaka okomsi;ndiyathuthunjelwa ziingqaqambo.
4. Ndixusheke ndada ndalityéba;senditsho ndaphelelwa nangumdla wokutya.
5. Ndiyagcuma kukugula;andibhitye nditsho ndangamathambo.
6. Ndifana nesikhova enkangala;ndinjengesihulu-hulu senxiwa.
7. Ndilal' obentaka kukumana ndiphuthelwa;ndifana nentak' ehleli yodwa exhantini.
8. Ziyandigxibha yonk' imini iintshaba zam;ziphoxisa ngam, ziqalekisana ngegama lam.
9. Ndinesingqala, ukutya akuvumi kuhla;intw' endiyiselayo seliziinyembezi zam.
10. Loo ntw' ibangwa yingqumbo nomsindo wakho;kaloku wena undifunqule wandilahla kwesinomhlwa.
11. Seligqithe njengamathunz' okuhlwa imihla yam;selide yabuna okwengca elahliweyo.
12. Kodwa wena, Ndikhoyo,uya kulawula kude kube ngunaphakade;ziya kubalisa ngawe zonk' izizukulwana.
13. Uya kuhlabeka, uyisizele iZiyon;ewe, ixesha lokuyenzel' inceba selifikile,seligalelekile.
14. Ziyayithand' izicaka zakho, naxa seliziindonga nje;ziyahlabeka xa ziyibona selingamabhodlo iZiyon.
15. Zolihlonel' igama likaNdikhoyo zonk' iintlanga,neekumkani zonke zisibeke isihomo sakhe.
16. Kuba kaloku uNdikhoyo woyivusa iZiyon,sicace ke isidima nesithozela sakhe.
17. Uyawuva umthandazo weendwayi,azisabele nezicelo zazo.
18. Le mbali mayibhalelwe isizukulwana esizayoze bamdumise uNdikhoyo nâbo bangekazalwa.
