1 Sizwe, Oh Malusi ka-Israyeli,

wena ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi

2 phambi kuka-Efrayimi loBhenjamini loManase.
Vusa amandla akho; woza usisindise.

ukuze sisindiswe.
4 Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla,

phezu kwemikhuleko yabantu bakho?
5 Usubafunzile ngesinkwa sezinyembezi;

8 Waletha ivini ulisusa eGibhithe;

9 walicentela indawo
labamba emhlabathini lagcwala ilizwe.
10 Izintaba zagcwala umthunzi walo,
imisedari emikhulu yathi silikici ngamagatsha alo.
11 Lakhulisa amagatsha alo anabela oLwandle,
amahlumela alo afika kude eMfuleni.
12 Kungani na usudilize imiduli yalo
ukuze bonke abedlulayo baziqhululele izithelo zalo?
13 Ingulungunda ziyalivadlaza,

14 Buya kithi, Oh Nkulunkulu Somandla!
Khangela phansi usezulwini ubone!
Nakekela ivini leli,
15 impande ehlanyelwe yisandla sakho sokunene,
indodana ozondlele yona wena.
16 Ivini lakho seliqunyiwe, selitshiswe ngomlilo;
ngokukhuza kwakho abantu bayabhubha.
17 Yeyamisa isandla sakho emuntwini ongakwesokunene kwakho,
indodana yomuntu ozondlele yona.
18 Yikho asiyikukufulathela, sivuselele,
ukuze sibize ibizo lakho.
19 Sivuselele, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla;
khanyisa ubuso bakho kithi,
ukuze sisindiswe.
