Ukumethemba uJehova
1Ndodana yami, ungakhohlwa umthetho wami,
kepha inhliziyo yakho mayigcine imiyalo yami,
2ngokuba iyakwenezela kuwe
ubude bezinsuku,
neminyaka yokuphila, nokuthula.
3Isihhe neqiniso makungakushiyi;
kubophe entanyeni yakho,
ukulobe esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho,
4ukuze uthole umusa nodumo oluhle emehlweni kaNkulunkulu nabantu.
5Themba kuJehova ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho,

6Mazise yena ezindleleni zakho zonke,

mesabe uJehova, udede ebubini.
8Lokho kuyakuba yimpilo emzimbeni wakho
nokuhlunyelelwa kwamathambo akho.

nezikhamo zakho zichichime ngewayini elisha.
