1Yiphe inkosi ukwahlulela kwakho, Oh Nkulunkulu,
2Uzakwahlulela abantu bakho ngokulunga,
3Izintaba zizaletha ukuphumelela ebantwini,
4Uzabavikela abahlukuluzwayo phakathi kwabantu
5Uzaphila kokuphela njengelanga,
6Uzakuba njengezulu lisina phezu kotshani obugundiweyo,
7Ngezinsuku zayo abalungileyo bazaphumelela;
8Uzabusa kusukela elwandle kusiya elwandle,
9Izizwe ezihlala enkangala zizakhothama kuye,
10Amakhosi eThashishi lawemazweni akude
11Wonke amakhosi azakhothama kuye
12Ngoba uzabakhulula abaswelayo abakhalayo kuye,
13Uzabahawukela ababuthakathaka
14Uzabahlenga ekuncindezelweni lekuhlukuluzweni,
15Mayibe lempilo ende!
16Akuthi amabele ande elizweni lonke;
17Sengathi ibizo lakhe lingema njalo laphakade,
18Udumo alube kuye uThixo uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli,
19Udumo kalube sebizweni lakhe elingcwele laphakade;
20Lokhu yikho ukuphetha kwemikhuleko kaDavida indodana kaJese.
