1Izwi lam lisingisa kuThixo, ndikhala;

Izwi lam lisingisa kuThixo, ukuba andibekele indlebe.

2Ngemini yokubandezelwa kwam ndiquqela eNkosini yam;

Isandla sam solukile ebusuku, asaqoba;

Awavuma ukuthuthuzeleka umphefumlo wam.

3Ndikhumbula uThixo, ndincwine;

Ndithelekelele, utyhafe umoya wam. (Phakamisani.)

4Ùzibambile iinkophe zamehlo am,

Ndikhandiwe, andaba nakuthetha.

5Ndicinga ngemihla yamandulo,

Iminyaka yasephakadeni;

6Ndiya kukhumbula ebusuku ukubetha kwam uhadi;

Ndithetha nentliziyo yam, uphengulula umoya wam.

7Ndithi, Iya kundihlamba ngonaphakade na iNkosi yam,

Ingabi saphinda iphathe ngetarhu na?

8Iphelé yaphela na inceba yayo?

Sígqibele na isithembiso sayo kwisizukulwana ngesizukulwana?

9UThixo ukulibele na ukubabala?

Uyivingcele ngomsindo kusini na imfesane yakhe? (Phakamisani.)

10Ndide ndithi ke, Sisifo sam esi;

Yiminyaka yesandla sokunene sOsenyangweni.

11Ndikhankanya izenzo ezincamisayo zikaYehova;

Ngokuba ndikhumbula imisebenzi yakho ebalulekileyo yamandulo.

12Ndicamanga ngako konke ukusebenza kwakho,

Ndithelekelele ngezenzo zakho zonke ezincamisayo.

13Thixo, isebungcweleni indlela yakho;

Ngubani na onguthixo omkhulu njengoThixo wethu?

14UnguloThixo, wenza ngokubalulekileyo;

Wawazísa amandla akho ezizweni,

15Wabakhulula ngengalo abantu bakho,

Oonyana bakaYakobi noYosefu. (Phakamisani.)

16Akúbona amanzi, Thixo,

Akúbona amanzi, azibhija-bhija,

Ewe, agungqa amanzi enzonzobila;

17Amafu engqingqwa aphalaza amanzi,

Isibhakabhaka savakalisa isandi;

Ewe, iintolo zakho zahamba-hamba.

18Izwi lendudumo yakho laba sesaqhwithini,

Imibane yalikhanyisa elimiweyo,

Lagungqa lanyikima ihlabathi.

19Yaba selwandle indlela yakho,

Nomendo wakho waba semanzini amaninzi;

Àwaziwa umkhondo wakho.

20Wabakhokela njengezimvu abantu bakho,

Ngesandla sooMoses noAron.
