1Awu, Simakadze!

Sindzisa inceku yakho lekwetsembako,

3Bani nemusa kimi, Nkulunkulu,
ngobe ngikhala kuwe lonkhe lilanga.
4Tfokotisa umphefumulo wenceku yakho,
ngobe umphefumulo wami
ngiwuphakamisela kuwe, Simakadze.
5Ngobe wena, Nkhosi,

6Awu, Simakadze!
Beka indlebe yakho ekukhulekeni kwami,

7Ngelilanga lekuhlupheka kwami
ngikhala kuwe,
ngobe wena uyangiphendvula.
8Kubo bonkhe bonkulunkulu
kute lofanana nawe, Simakadze;
kute nalokufanana nemisebenti yakho.
9Tonkhe tive lotentile tiyawuta kuwe,

10Ngobe wena umkhulu,

nguwe wedvwa longuNkulunkulu.
11Ngifundzise indlela yakho, Simakadze,
ngiyawuhamba ecinisweni lakho;

kutsi ilesabe libito lakho.
12Ngiyawukubonga, Simakadze,
Nkulunkulu wami,
ngikudvumise ngenhlitiyo yami yonkhe,

kuze kube phakadze.
13Ngobe umusa wakho mkhulu kimi,
uwephulile umphefumulo wami
ekujuleni kwekufa.
14Awu, Nkulunkulu!
Tihlangananhloko tingivukele;

tona atikwati nekutsi uyini.
15Kodvwa wena, Simakadze,

uphuphuma umusa nekwetsembeka.
16Gucukela ngakimi, ube nemusa kimi
inceku yakho uyiphe emandla akho,
usindzise indvodzana yencekukati yakho.
17Ngente sibonakaliso sebuhle bakho,
kuze labo labangitondzako basibone,
badliwe ngemahloni,
ngobe wena, Simakadze,
uyangisita, ungidvudvute.
