1. Danduluka utyibele, ludlolondini Jerusalem!Ewe, hlabel' ingoma umemelele kaloku,nawe, wen' ungazange wayiva inimba.Kaloku lona usizana loba ngunobantwana;loba ngaphezu kwakhe umfaz' onendoda.Ewe, *nguNdikhoyo oyithethileyo loo nto.
2. Yandise loo ndawo uhlala kuyo;sukuthandabuza, yolule nemikhusane yentente yakho;zandise iintsontelo, uzibethelele ziqine izikhonkwane.
3. Kaloku uza kunabela macalana onke;isizukulwana sakho siya kuzithimba izizwe,umhlaba ubuyele kuso,size sime kwezo zixeko zingamabhodlo.
4. Musa ukuxhala, awuyi kungena hlazweni;ungaphithizeli, awusayi kuthotywa.Ihlazo lobutsha bakho lona lolibaleka,ungabi sasikhumbula nesingcikivo sobuhlolokazi.
5. Kaloku nguMenzi wakho indoda yakho;igama lakhe ke nguNdikhoyo uSomandla.NguYedwa kaSirayeli uMkhululi wakho;kuthiwa nguThixo wehlabathi jikelele.
6. Ngoku uNdikhoyo uphinde wakubuyela,njengomfazi osel' enomvandedwa kukushiywa,nditsho umfazana owaliweyo.Kodwa ke uThixo wakho uthi:
7. “Ndakulahla okomzuzwana nje kuphela;ngoku ke ndikubuyisa sendiyimvuze-mvuze luthando.
8. Ndakufulathela ndinengqumbo okomzuzwana nje;ngoku ke ndikuthanda ngothando olungenabuyambo;ewe, ndiyavakalelwa ngenxa yakho.”Utsho ke uNdikhoyo uMkhululi wakho.
