Kudala ndizigixa, ndicel' uncedo,

₂Thixo wam, emini ndikhalela kuwe, kodwa akundiva.

Nasebusuku ndiyakhala,

makamkhulule ukuba uyamthanda.”

mhloneleni nonke, nina nzala kaSirayeli!

₂₄Kaloku akazideli engazicekisi iintsizi zehlwempu;

uyaziva izicelo zalo, angalifulatheli.”

₂₅Ndiya kukubonga esidlangalaleni,

ngenxa yezinto ondenzele zona;

ndowafezekisa amadinga endawenzayo,

phambi kwebandla lâbo bakuthobelayo.

₂₆Amahlwempu aya kutya ahluthe mpu;

Banga banganempumelelo engapheliyo.

kwaye netafile sebuyidekile.

₈Sukuziduba ngokululeka umgxeki kuba wosuka akucaphukele;

kambe ke wakululeka isilumko sitsho sikuhloniphe.

umntu omaziyo oyiNgcwele kanye uzuza ingqiqo.

₁₁Mna bulumko ndoyenza ibe mininzi imihla yakho,

ndiyongeze iminyaka yobomi bakho.

₁₂Xa usisilumko woncedwa bubulumko bakho;

kanti xa ungumgxeki iya kuba nguwe kanye ohluphekayo.”

Kanti ke nokutya okutyiwa ekufihlekeni kokona kunencasa.”
