3Iye, uyiphile isifiso sehliziywayo
nesibawo seembhena zayo akhange usigodle.
4Uyihlangabeze ngeembusiso ezihle,

6Idumo layo likhulu ngenca yokuhlula kwakho,

7Mbala, ubeke kiyo iimbusiso nini nanini,
wayijabulisa khulu ngobukhona bakho.
8Ngebangelo ikosi yethemba uZimu,

9Ngwenyama, isandla sakho sizozifunyana zoke izitha zakho;
sokudla sakho sizabafunyana abakuzondako.

UZimu uzaziginya ngelaka lakhe,

11Inzalwazo uzoyitjhabalalisa ephasini,

12Lokha nazikuphendukela ngobumbi,

angeze zaphumelela.
13Mbala, uzazenza zibaleke,
lokha nawuzinemba ngemisebakho ebusweni bazo.
14Phakama Zimu, emandlenakho!
Thina sizakuvuma, sidumise imisebenzakho emikhulu.
