1. Ndingenile emyezweni wam, dade wethu, mtshakazi wam;Ndiyikhile imore* yam kunye netyeleba lam;Ndiyidlile intlango yam kunye nencindi yam;Ndiyiséle iwayini yam kunye namasi am.Yidlani bethu,Selani nibe mnandi, zintánda.
2. Ndilele, yona intliziyo yam iphaphamile.Yiva, nantso intánda yam inkqonkqoza, isithi,Ndivulele, dade wethu, vukuthu lam, ngqibeleli yam,Ngokuba intloko yam izele ngumbethe,Isihlwitha sam sizele ngamathontsi obusuku.
3. Ndathi, Sendikhulule nengubo yam yangaphantsi; ndothini na ukubuya ndinxibe?Sendizihlambile iinyawo zam, ndothini na ukubuya ndizidyobhe?
4. Intánda yam yasolula isandla sayo ngekroba;Kwasika esiswini ngenxa yayo.
5. Ndavuka ndaya kuyivulela intánda yam,Nezandla zam zavuza imore;Neminwe yam, imore eyivuzelayoEsiphathweni sesitshixo.
6. Ndayivulela mna intánda yam;Ke yona intánda yam ibijike yemka.Ndemkelwa ngumbilini yakuthetha;Ndayifuna, andayifumana;Ndayibiza, àyasabela.
7. Bandifumana abalindi abajikajika phakathi komzi,Bandibetha, bandilimaza;Abalindi beendonga bandihlutha ingubo yam yokwaleka ekrelekrele.
