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