1 USomandla, uNkulunkulu, uThixo,
2 EseZiyoni, epheleleyo ngobuhle,
3 UNkulunkulu wethu uyeza,
4 Ubiza amazulu ngaphezulu lomhlaba,
5 “Qoqani kimi abahlanjululiweyo bami,
6 Lamazulu atshumayela ukulunga kwakhe;
7 “Zwanini, bantu bami, ngizakhuluma;
8 Kangikukhuzi ngemihlatshelo yakho
9 Angisweli inkunzi ephuma esibayeni sakho
10 ngoba yiphi layiphi inyamazana yeganga ngeyami,
11 Ngazi zonke izinyoni ezisezintabeni,
12 Aluba ngangingolambayo ngangingekulitshela,
13 Ngidla inyama yezinkunzi yini
14 Yenzani imihlatshelo yokubonga kuNkulunkulu,
15 njalo lize kimi mhla lisekuhluphekeni;
16 Kodwa kwababi, uNkulunkulu uthi:
17 Liyazizonda iziqondiso zami,
18 Lithi lingabona isela lihle libambane lalo;
19 Lisebenzisa imilomo yenu ukukhuluma okubi
20 Linyeya umfowenu njalonjalo,
21 Lizenzile lezizinto ngazithulela;
22 Nanzelelani lokhu, lina elikhohlwa uNkulunkulu,
23 Lowo onikela iminikelo yokubonga uyangidumisa,
