1. Ke kaloku uYobi wathathisa wathetha wenjenje:
2. “Awu, akwaba ibinokubuyiselwa kum imihla yamandulo,ngokuya uThixo wayesandilondolozile,
3. xenikweni isibane sakhe besikhanya phezu kwentloko yam,xa ndanditabhata nasebumnyameni endikhanyisela.
4. Ewe, ngaloo mihla yamfamlibe ndandimi kakuhle;bendilala ngangubo-nye noThixo emzini wam.
5. USomandla wayengakum ngoko,ndiphahlwe ngabantwana bam.
6. Ngaloo mihla amasi ayedlal' abantwana kwam;ke yona iminquma ichuma nasematyeni, ithulula ioyile.
7. “Ndandisithi ndakufika enkundleni ngasesangweni,ndakuthi zinzi phakathi kwamadoda amakhulu,
8. abafana bathi gu bucala,ke zona iingwevu zime ngeenyawo.
9. Ewe, ayesuka aphel' emqaleni kumatshawe,ufike selethe khebevu!
10. Izikhulu zazisithi cwakangathi ulwimi lukhulekiwe enkalakahleni.
11. Abandiva ndithetha babendincoma,kanti ababona izinto endizenzayo babendingqinela.
12. Kaloku ndandisabela ndiwahlangule amahlwempu esakukhala;ukanti ndazibonelela neenkedama ezazingenamncedi.
