Iimfiso ezihle ngekosi yakwa-Israyeli
1Kumkhaleli; irhubo lakaDavida.
2Kwanga uSomnini angakuphendula
ngesikhathi sokubandezelwa,
ibizo lakaZimu wakaJakopo likuvikele.
3Inga angakuthumelela isizo
elisuka endaweni ecwengileko,
akusekele aseZiyoni;
4akhumbule yoke iminikelwakho,
amukele imihlabelwakho yokutjhiswa.
5Inga angakupha okufiswa yihliziywakho,
aphelelise woke amaswakho.
6Kwanga singahlokoma ngokuhlula kwakho,
siphakamise itshwayo ebizweni lakaZimu;
iye, inga uSomnini angaphumelelisa zoke iimbawo zakho.
7Nje-ke mina ngiyazi
bona uSomnini usiza ozesiweko wakhe,
amuphe ipendulo asezulwini lakhe elicwengileko,
ngesindiso enamandla
evela ngesandleni sakhe sokudla.
8Abanye baqina ngeenkarana zepi,
abanye ngeenjomani,
kodwana thina siqina ngebizo lakaSomnini uZimethu.
9Abanjalo bazakuguqa, bawe,
kodwana thina sizakusikima, sijame.
10Somnini, yipha ikosethu ukuhlula!
Usiphendule lokha nasilila kuwe.
