1 Dumisa uThixo, Oh mphefumulo wami.
2 Uyazigoqela ngokukhanya kungathi njengesivunulo;
3 anqumise intungo zezindlu zangaphezulu zilale phezu kwamanzi.
4 Wenza izikhatha zomoya zibe yizithunywa zakhe,
5 Wawugxilisa umhlaba ezisekelweni zawo;
6 Wawembesa ngolwandle njengesivunulo;
7 Kodwa wathi ngokukhwaza amanzi abaleka,
8 ageleza phezu kwezintaba,
9 Wamisa umkhawulo angeke aweqe;
10 Wenza imithombo impompozele amanzi ezindongeni;
11 zipha amanzi kuzozonke izinyamazana zeganga;
12 Izinyoni zomoya zakhela eduze kwamanzi;
13 Uyazithelezela izintaba esezindlini zakhe eziphezulu;
14 Umilisela inkomo utshani,
15 iwayini elijabulisa inhliziyo yomuntu,
16 Izihlahla zikaThixo ziyathelelwa okwaneleyo,
17 Izinyoni zakhela kuyo izidleke zazo;
18 Izintaba eziphakemeyo ngezamagogo,
19 Inyanga yehlukanisa izibanga zomnyaka,
20 Uletha umnyama, kube sebusuku,
21 Izilwane ziyabhonga zifuna inyama yazo
22 Ilanga liyaphuma, zibe sezicatsha;
23 Umuntu abe esephuma aye emsebenzini wakhe,
24 Minengi kanganani imisebenzi yakho, Oh Thixo!
25 Nantuyana ulwandle, uthwaca olungakaya,
26 Kulapho imikhumbi endenda khona isiyale lale,
27 Zonke lezi zikhangele kuwe
28 Uthi ungazipha bese zikubuthela ndawonye;
29 Uthi ungafihla ubuso bakho zitshaywe luvalo;
30 Uthi ungathumela uMoya
31 Sengathi inkazimulo kaThixo ingema lanini;
32 yena okhangela umhlaba uthuthumele,
33 Ngizahlabelela kuThixo impilo yami yonke;
34 Sengathi iminakano yami ingamthokozisa,
35 Kodwa sengathi izoni zinganyamalala emhlabeni
