1 “Ungambamba na uLeviyathani ngewuka
2 Ungawufaka umkhala yini emakhaleni akhe
3 Uzabe elokhu ekuncenga yini ukuthi umzwele?
4 Uzakwenza isivumelwano lawe na
5 Ungamenza abe yisifuyo sokudlalisa njengenyoni na
6 Abathengi bazabhejelana ngentengo yakhe na?
7 Ungasibhoboza yini isikhumba sakhe ngenhlendla
8 Ungabeka isandla phezu kwakhe,
9 Ukucabanga ukuthi ungamehlula kuyize;
10 Kakho ongaba lesibindi sokuthi alwe laye.
11 Ngubani engilomlandu kuye othi kangihlawule na?
12 Kangisoze ngikhawule ukubabaza izitho zakhe,
13 Ngubani ongaxebula isikhumba sakhe na?
14 Ngubani ongaqunga isibindi avule iminyango yomlomo wakhe,
15 Umhlane wakhe ulezinhlu zamahawu
16 yilelo lithe mba kwelinye
17 Anamathelene ndawonye;
18 Ukuthimula kwakhe kukhupha inhlansi zomlilo;
19 Amalangabi omlilo alavuka emlonyeni wakhe;
20 Intuthu ithunqa iphuma emakhaleni akhe
21 Ukuphefumula kwakhe kulumathisa amalahle,
22 Amandla akhe asentanyeni yakhe;
23 Amavinqo enyama yakhe abambene nki;
24 Isifuba sakhe silukhuni njengelitshe,
25 Uthi nxa ephakama kwesabe amaqhawe ngokwawo;
26 Inkemba leyo emfikelayo kayenzi lutho,
27 Insimbi uyithatha njengotshani
28 Imitshoko kayimenzi abaleke;
29 Induku kuye ingumuca wotshani;
30 Ingaphansi yomzimba wakhe injengendengezi ezibukhali,
31 Udunga inziki zamanzi ayabuke njengembiza enkulu ibila,
32 Ngemva kwakhe utshiya umzila okhazimulayo;
33 Kakukho emhlabeni okulingana laye,
34 Ubakhangelela phansi bonke abathi bazithembile;
