UYOBI 27

₂“Ekho nje uThixo, lo undivimb' ubulungisa,

nditsho uSomandla lo uwenze umphefumlo wam wangcamla ubukrakra:

₃Ukuba ndisaxomoloza ndisadl' amazimba,

xa ngaba ndisaphila ndinomphefumlo kaThixo emathatheni am,

₄imilebe yam ayisokuze ithethe inkohlakalo,

ngokunjalo nolwimi lwam alusoze luthethe inkohliso.

₅Andisoze ndithi ninyanisile,

futhi ndiya kude ndife ndibambelele kwinyaniso yokuba ndimsulwa.

₆Ndiya kuthi nca kwinto yokuba ndililungisa;

andisoze ndibe nasazela yonke imihla yam.

₇“Akwaba utshaba lwam lwafumana isohlwayo sabakhohlakeleyo,

ngokunjalo nombandezeli wam azuze isiphelo sabangenabulungisa.

₈Liyintoni na ithemba labangenaThixo

mhla wabunqumla ubomi babo uThixo?

₉Xa sele kunyembelekile kubo,

uthi uThixo angaze asive isikhalo sabo?

₁₀Khona bangaziyolisa na ngoSomandla?

Bangamnqula na uThixo ngamaxesha onke?

₁₁“Makhe ndinifundise ngobukhulu bamandla kaThixo;

mandingazifihli izicwangciso zikaSomandla.

₁₂Hayi gxebe, senizibonele nje ngokwenu;

ngani ke ukuba nibe sathetha imfungu-mfungu enje?

₁₃“Naso ke isabelo sezikhohlakali kuThixo;

elo ke lilifa lezibhoja kuSomandla.

₁₄Noba zingade zibe nenyambalala yoonyana

bosuka babe lilifa lekrele emfazweni;

ewe, inzala yazo yasoloko ithiwe nca liphango!

₁₅Nemingqandanda esindileyo itshayelwa ngubhubhani,

baze nabahlolokazi bazo bangalili nokulila.

₁₆Noba zingade zibe nemfumba yesiliva ngathi luthuli,

zibe nempahla yokwambatha efumbe okodongwe,

₁₇kosuka kuthi gqi lungisa lithile inxitywe lilo loo mpahla;

kosuka kuvele abantu abamsulwa babelane ngaloo siliva.

₁₈Isikhohlakali sakha indlu efana nesingxobo seqonya;

sakha into engathi liphempe labalindi.

₁₉Isikhohlakali silala sinobutyebi, kodwa siyagqibelisa –

sivuka sebuphel' emehlweni.

₂₀Sisuka sirhwaqele ngathi siyarhaxwa;

kaloku sitshayelwa sisaqhwithi ngobhadakazi.

₂₁Kufika umoya wasempuma usitshayele,

usuke usinqukrule singabi sazana nekhaya laso.

₂₂Usuka usilenge ungenalusini tu;

nakanjani kufuneka siwasabe amandla awo.

₂₃Ewe, umoya usiqhwabela izandla,

usihewule isikhohlakali simke endaweni yaso.”
