1. Ohleli esitheni lOsenyangweni,Azilalise emthunzini kaSomandla,
2. Úthi keYehova, Hlathi lam, Mboniselo yam,Thixo wam, endikholose ngaye!
3. Ngokuba ngokwakhe uya kukuhlangula emgibeni womthiyeli,Endyikityeni yokufa eyeyelisayo.
4. Wókugubungela ngeentsiba zakhe,Ùzimele phantsi kwamaphiko akhe.Likhaka, yingweletshetshe inyaniso yakhe.
5. Akuyi koyikiswa zizothuso ebusuku,Nalutolo lubaleka emini;
6. Nandyikitya yakufa ihamba esithokothokweni,Nasifo sibhubhisayo, sibhuqa emini enkulu.
7. Kungawa iwaka ecaleni kwakho,Isigidi ngasekunene kwakho,Kodwa kungasondeli nto kuwe.
8. Wòkhangela ngamehlo akho odwa,Ukubonele ukubuyekezwa kwabangendawo.
