1 Woba lomusa kimi, Oh Nkulunkulu,
ngoba abantu baxotshana lami kubi;
ilanga lonke bayajujumezela bengihlasela.
2 Labo abangigconayo baxotshana lami ilanga lonke;
abanengi bangihlasela bekloloda.
3 Nxa ngisesaba ngizathemba kuwe.
4 KuNkulunkulu, engidumisa ibizo lakhe,
ngithemba kuye uNkulunkulu; angiyikwesaba.
Umuntu wenyama angenzani kimi?
5 Ilanga lonke batshona behlanekela amazwi ami;
beqoqa ukungibhidliza.
6 Bayabuthana bengicathamela
balandele izinyathelo zami
betshisekela ukucitsha impilo yami.
7 Loba sekutheni ungabayekeli baphunyuke;
ngokuthukuthela kwakho, Nkulunkulu, zidilize izizwe.
8 Bhala phansi isililo sami;
bhala ithonsi ngalinye lezinyembezi zami emqulwini wakho
kazikho yini emibhalweni yakho?
9 Lapho-ke izitha zami zizafulathela
nxa sengicela uncedo.
Ngalokhu ngizakwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulami.
10 KuNkulunkulu, engidumisa ibizo lakhe,
kuThixo engidumisa ibizo lakhe,
11 kuNkulunkulu ngiyathemba; angiyikwesaba.
Umuntu angenzani kimi na?
12 Ngibanjwe yizifungo kuwe, Oh Nkulunkulu;
ngizakwethula umnikelo wami wokubonga kuwe.
13 Ngoba ungikhulule ekufeni
lezinyawo zami lapho ngikhubeka,
ukuze ngihambe phambi kukaNkulunkulu
ekukhanyeni kwempilo.
