1. Makabongwe uYehova, uliwa lam,Ulofundisa izandla zam ukulwa,Iminwe yam imfazwe.
2. Unceba yam, umboniselo yam,Ungxonde yam, umsindisi wam, mna lo;Ungweletshetshe yam, undizímela ngaye;Ulonyathelela abantu bam phantsi kwam.
3. Yehova, úyintoni na umntu, le nto umaziyo?Unyana womfo, le nto umnyamekelayo?
4. Umntu lo ufana nomphunga,Imihla yakhe injengethunzi elidlulayo.
5. Yehova, thoba amazulu akho, uhle;Phatha ezintabeni, ziqhume.
6. Banekisa imibane, uziphangalalise;Thuma iintolo zakho, uziduba-dube.
