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