1 Ngikhulula, Nkosi, emuntwini omubi, ungilondoloze emuntwini olesihluku,

2 abaceba izinto ezimbi enhliziyweni, usuku lonke babuthanela izimpi.

3 Balola ulimi lwabo njengenyoka, ubuhlungu bebululu bungaphansi kwendebe zabo. (Sela)

4 Ngilondoloze, Nkosi, ezandleni zomubi, ungivikele emuntwini olesihluku; abaceba ukuwisa inyawo zami.

5 Abazigqajayo bangifihlele umjibila, lezintambo, bendlala imbule eceleni kwendlela; bangibekela izithiyo. (Sela)

6 Ngithe eNkosini: Wena unguNkulunkulu wami. Beka indlebe elizwini lokuncenga kwami, Nkosi.

7 Jehova, Nkosi, mandla osindiso lwami, wembese ikhanda lami osukwini lwezikhali.

8 Unganiki, Nkosi, izifiso zomubi, ungaphumelelisi icebo lakhe elibi, hlezi baziphakamise. (Sela)

10 Kakuthi amalahle atshisayo akhithikele phezu kwabo, ubawisela emlilweni, emigodini etshonayo, ukuze bangavuki.

11 Umuntu wolimi kangamiswa elizweni; umuntu olesihluku, ububi buzamzingela kube yikuwiswa kwakhe.
