₁Yiba nomusa kimi, Nkulunkulu;

yiba nomusa kimi.

Ngokuba umphefumulo wami uphephela kuwe;

ngifuna ukukhosela ethunzini lamaphiko akho,

zize zidlule izinhlupheko.

₂Ngizakukhala kuNkulunkulu oPhezukonke,

kuNkulunkulu ongifezelayo.

₃Uyakuthumela esezulwini, angisindise

mhla ofuna ukungigwinya ekloloda. Sela*

UNkulunkulu uyakuthuma umusa wakhe neqiniso lakhe.

₄Umphefumulo wami uphakathi kwezingonyama;

ngilala kwabavutha umlilo,

abantwana babantu abamazinyo abo ayimikhonto nemicibisholo,

abalulimi lwabo luyinkemba ebukhali.

₅Phakama, Nkulunkulu,

phezu kwezulu,

inkazimulo ibe phezu komhlaba wonke.

₆Izinyathelo zami bazibekele ugibe;

umphefumulo wami ugobile;

bembile igebe phambi kwami,

kwakhalakathela bona kulo. Sela*

₇Inhliziyo yami iduduzekile, Nkulunkulu;

inhliziyo yami iduduzekile;

ngizakuhlabelela, ngihube.

₈Vuka, mphefumulo wami;

vukani, lugubhu nehabhu!*

Ngizakuvusa ukusa.

₉Ngizakukubonga, Nkosi,

phakathi kwabantu,

ngikudumise phakathi kwezizwe.

₁₀Ngokuba umusa wakho mkhulu kuze kube sezulwini,

nokuthembeka kwakho kuze kube semafwini.

₁₁Phakama, Nkulunkulu,

phezu kwezulu,

inkazimulo yakho ibe phezu komhlaba wonke.
