Umthandazo wenkoloseko wokucela ugcino lukaThixoKumongameli; ngethi, Ungonakalisi. EkaDavide. Eliligugu: ekumbalekeni kwakhe uSawule emqolombeni.

1Ndíbabale, Thixo, ndibabale;

Ngokuba úzímela ngawe umphefumlo wam;

Ndizímela esithunzini samaphiko akho,

Kude kudlule inkxwaleko.

2Ndinqula uThixo Osenyangweni,

UThixo ondifezelayo.

3Úya kuthuma esemazulwini andisindise,

Emngcikiva nje ondizondayo; (Phakamisani.)

UThixo uya kuthuma inceba yakhe nenyaniso yakhe.

4Umphefumlo wam uphakathi kweengonyama;

Ndiya kulala phantsi nabafutha umlilo,

Oonyana babantu abamazinyo aziintshuntshe neentolo,

Ulwimi lwabo lulikrele elibukhali.

5Ziphakamisele ngaphezu kwamazulu, Thixo,

Lube phezu kwehlabathi lonke uzuko lwakho.

6Isibatha basilungisele iinyawo zam;

Bawugobile umphefumlo wam;

Bándimbela isihogo,

Beyela kuso ngokwabo. (Phakamisani.)

7Izimasekile intliziyo yam, Thixo, izimasekile intliziyo yam;

Ndiya kuvuma, ndiya kubetha uhadi.

8Vuka, luzuko lwam! Vukani, mrhubhe nohadi!

Ndiya kusiphangela isifingo.

9Ndiya kubulela kuwe phakathi kwezizwe, Nkosi yam;

Ndiya kukubethela uhadi phakathi kwezizwe.

10Ngokuba inkulu, yada yaya ezulwini, inceba yakho;

Yada yesa esibhakabhakeni inyaniso yakho.

11Ziphakamisele ngaphezu kwezulu, Thixo,

Lube phezu kwehlabathi lonke uzuko lwakho.
