₁UJehova ungukukhanya kwami nensindiso yami;

ngizakwesaba bani na?

UJehova uyinqaba yokuphila kwami;

ngizakuba novalo ngobani na?

₂Ekusondeleni kwababi ukuba badle inyama yami

abamelene nami nezitha zami bayakhubeka, bawe.

₃Noma impi imisa ngakimi,

inhliziyo yami ayesabi;

noma ngivukelwa ngukulwa,

nokho nginethemba.

₄Kunye engikucele kuJehova,

ngiyakufuna khona:

ukuba ngihlale endlini kaJehova

izinsuku zonke zokuphila kwami

ukubona ubuhle bukaJehova,

ngibuke ithempeli lakhe.

₅Ngokuba uyangithukusa edokodweni lakhe

ngosuku lokuhlupheka,

angicashise ekusithekeni kwetende lakhe,

angiphakamisele edwaleni.

₆Nakalokhu ikhanda lami lizakuphakama

ngaphezu kwezitha zami ezingihaqileyo;

ngizakunikela iminikelo yokwethaba etendeni lakhe,

ngihlabelele, ngidumise uJehova ngogubhu.

₇Yizwa, Jehova, ngikhala ngezwi elikhulu;

yiba nomusa kimi, ungiphendule.

₈Kuwena othi: “Funani ubuso bami,”

inhliziyo yami ithi:

“Ubuso bakho, Jehova, ngiyabufuna.”

₉Ungafihli ubuso bakho kimi,

ungaxoshi inceku yakho ngokuthukuthela;

wena ulusizo lwami, ungangilahli,

Nkulunkulu wensindiso yami.

₁₀Ngokuba ubaba nomame bangishiyile,

kodwa uJehova uzakungamukela.

₁₁Ngifundise indlela yakho, Jehova,

ngenxa yezitha zami.

ngokuba ofakazi bamanga bangivukele kanye nabafutha

ukudlozomela.
