₁Vuka, vuka, wembathe amandla akho, Siyoni,

uzigqoke izingubo zakho ezinhle, Jerusalema, muzi ongcwele,

ngokuba akusayikungena kuwe

ongasokile nongcolileyo.

₂Zithintithe uthuli, usukume, uhlale, Jerusalema elithunjiweyo;

zikhulule ezibosheni zentamo yakho wena-ndodakazi yaseSiyoni ethunjiweyo.

₃Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi:

Nathengiswa ngento engelutho;

niyakuhlengwa ngaphandle kwemali.

₄Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi:

Abantu bami behlela kuqala eGibithe

ukuba bagogobale khona;

iAsiriya lamcindezela ngaphandle kwesizathu.

₇Zimnandi kangakanani ezintabeni

izinyawo zoletha izindaba ezinhle,

nomemezela ukuthula,

obika izindaba ezinhle, ezwakalise ukusindiswa,

oshoyo kulo iSiyoni ukuthi: UNkulunkulu wakho uyinkosi.

₈Izwi labalindi bakho, bayaliphakamisa izwi,

bajabule kanyekanye,

ngokuba bayakubona iso neso,

lapho uJehova ebuyela eSiyoni.

₉Qhumukani ngokuhlabelela, nihlabelele kanyekanye,

nina-zindawo ezichithekileyo zaseJerusalema,

ngokuba uJehova ubaduduzile abantu bakhe,

ulihlengile iJerusalema.

₁₀UJehova wambulile ingalo yakhe engcwele

emehlweni ezizwe zonke,

namajukujuku onke omhlaba ayakubona insindiso kaNkulunkulu wethu.

₁₁Mukani, mukani, niphume lapha,

ningathinti okungcolileyo,

niphume phakathi kwalo, nizihlambulule

nina eniphatha izitsha zikaJehova.

₁₂Ngokuba aniyikuphuma ngokushesha,

ningahambi ngokubaleka,

ngokuba uJehova uyakuhamba phambi kwenu,

noNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli uyakuba-semva kwenu.

₁₃Bheka, inceku yami iyakuphumelela kahle;

iyakukhuliswa, iphakanyiswe, iphakame kakhulu.

₁₄Njengalokhu abaningi bamangala ngayo —

ubuso bayo babonakele kunobabantu,

nesimo sayo kunesamadodana abantu —

₁₅kanjalo iyakwethusa izizwe eziningi;

amakhosi ayakuvala imilomo yawo ngenxa yayo,

ngokuba lokho angatshelwanga khona ayakukubona,

nalokho angakuzwanga ayakukuqonda.
