₁Ndodana yami,

uma ulalela amazwi ami,

ugcine imithetho yami,

₂wenze indlebe yakho

ilalele ukuhlakanipha,

nenhliziyo yakho

ithambekele ekuqondeni;

₃uma ukhala ngokuhlaziya,

ulizwakalisa izwi lakho ngokuqonda;

₄uma ukufuna njengesiliva

ukufunisisa njengengcebo

efihliweyo,

₅khona uyakuqonda ukuthi

kuyini ukumesaba uSimakade,

uthole ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu.

₆Ngokuba uSimakade

uyokupha ukuhlakanipha,

emlonyeni wakhe

kuphuma ukwazi

nokuqonda.

₇Uyabela abaqotho impumelelo,

uyisihlangu salabo

abahamba ngokwethembeka.

₈Uyabavikela labo

abahamba ngokwendlela

yezahlulelo zakhe,

₉khona uyoqonda ukulunga,

nokwehlulela neqiniso,

nezindlela zonke ezinhle.

₁₀Ngokuba ukuhlakanipha

kuyongena enhliziyweni yakho,

ukwazi kuthokozise

umphefumulo wakho.

₁₁Amasu ayakukuvikela,

ukuqonda kukugcine.

₁₂Ukuhlakanipha kuyokophula

endleleni yokubi,

nakulabo abakhuluma

okuphambene,

₁₃abadela izindlela zobuqotho,

bahambe ebumnyameni.

₁₄Abathokozela ukwenza okubi,

bakikizelele okuphambeneyo,

₁₅abandlela zabo zigwegwile,

nemikhondo yabo

imazombezombe.

₁₆Lokhu kuyokusindisa

kowesifazane ondindayo,

nakowezizwe omazwi

akhe ayashelela,

₁₇oshiya isithandwa sobusha bakhe,

akhohlwe yisivumelwano noNkulunkulu wakhe.

₁₈Ngokuba indlu yakhe

iholela ekufeni,

nezindlela zakhe emathunzini.

₁₉Bonke abazisondeza kuye

ababuyi,

abafinyeleli emikhondweni

yokuphila,

₂₀ukuze bahambe

ezindleleni zabahle,

bagcine izindlela zabalungileyo,

₂₁ngokuba abaqotho

bayakuhlala ezweni,

abamsulwa basale kulo.

₂₂Kepha izikhohlakali

ziyakunqunywa ezweni,

nabangethembekile

bayosishulwa kulo.
