Ukubonga nokudumisa uNkulunkulu
Kumholi wokuhlabelela; igama; ihubo
1Mhubeleni ngenjabulo uNkulunkulu, mhlaba wonke.
2Hlabelelelani inkazimulo yegama lakhe,
nibabaze ukudunyiswa kwakhe.
3Yishoni kuNkulunkulu, nithi: Yeka ukwesabeka kwemisebenzi yakho.
Ngenxa yobukhulu bamandla akho izitha zakho ziyakuzithoba phansi kwakho.
4Umhlaba wonke uyakukhuleka kuwe, ukudumise;
bayakuhubela igama lakho. Sela*.
5Wozani nibone izenzo zikaNkulunkulu;
uyesabeka ekwenzeni kwakhe kubantwana babantu.
6Ulwandle waluguqula lwaba-yizwe elomileyo;
bawela umfula ngezinyawo; lapho sathokoza kuye.
7Ubusa ngamandla akhe kuze kubephakade;
amehlo akhe ayahlozinga izizwe;
abanenkani mabangaziphakamisi. Sela*.
8Bongani uNkulunkulu wethu nina-zizwe,
nizwakalise izwi lokudunyiswa kwakhe
9ogcina umphefumulo wethu ekuphileni,
engaluvumeli unyawo lwethu lushelele.
10Ngokuba wena-Nkulunkulu usilingile,
wasihlanza njengokuhlanzwa kwesiliva.
11Wasingenisa enetheni;
wabeka umthwalo onzima ezinkalweni zethu.
12Wavumela abantu ukuba bakhwele phezu kwamakhanda ethu;
sangena emlilweni nasemanzini;
kepha wasikhiphela ekubuseni.
13Ngiyakungena endlini yakho ngineminikelo yokushiswa;
ngizakugcwalisa kuwe izithembiso zami
14ezaphinyiselwa yizindebe zami,
zakhulunywa ngumlomo wami ngisekuhluphekeni.
15Ngiyakunikela kuwe iminikelo yokushiswa yezinonileyo
kanye nephunga lezinqama;
ngiyakunikela ngezinkunzi nangezimpongo. Sela*.
16Wozani nizwe nina nonke enesaba uNkulunkulu;
ngizakulandisa akwenzele umphefumulo wami.
17Ngakhala kuye ngomlomo wami;
ukudumisa kwakuphansi kolimi lwami.
18Uma bengiqondé ububi enhliziyweni yami,
ibingayikungizwa iNkosi.
19Ngempela uNkulunkulu uzwile,
walalela izwi lomkhuleko wami.
20Makabongwe uNkulunkulu
ongalahlanga umkhuleko wami nomusa wakhe kimi.
