₁Akwaba ubungawakrazul' amazulu,

khon' ukuze neentaba zitsho zinyikime,

₂kutsho kube ngathi ngumlilo weentsasa,

Yiza, zitsho neentshaba zakho zikuqonde,

nezizwe zitsho zingcangcazele kukoyika,

₃uxelise ngokuyâ wakha wenza iziqwenga.

Kaloku ngoko wasiqubula singalindele;

₄Kwamandulo akukho bani wakha weva;

kwakudala akakho owakha wambona nanini na uThixo onjengawe lo,

obancedayo abantu abakholosa ngaye.

₅Kaloku wena ubahlangabeza ngoncedo

bonke abazinikezele ekwenzeni okulungileyo,

abo ke bazikhumbulayo iindlela zakho.

Sakuqhubela phambili sikuchasa wakhathazeka.

Yaz'ba sohlangulwa kanjani na ke?

₆Sonke sifana nalowo ungahlambulukanga;

ewe, neyona misebenzi yethu yobulungisa:

₇Kaloku akusekho mntu ukunqulayo;

ewe, akasekho obalekela kuwe.

Kaloku wena ngoku usifulathele;

₈Kambe ke, unguTata, wena Ndikhoyo.

Ke thina siludongwe;

nceda ungasixhibi ngezono esizenzileyo.

Siyakuthandaza, noko buya nganeno;

kaloku sonke singabantu bakho.

₁₀Kwizixeko zakho zegugu kusenkangala;

nkqu neZiyon ikhal' ibhungane,

neJerusalem ngokwayo ngamabhodlo.

₁₁Loo nzwakazi yendlu entle kunene,

apho babekudumisa khona oobawo,

kunamhlanje nje itshe yaluthuthu,

okwakuziindawo zebhongo sekungamabhodlo.

₁₂Ngaba azikushukumisi na ezi ziganeko, Ndikhoyo?

Ngaba uza kuhlala nje ungachukumiseki?

Naxa sekunje usazimisel' ukudl' imu?

Hleze senzakale xa usohlwaya ngaphezu koku!
