1Nkulunkulu, usilahleleni kuze kube phakade na? Intukuthelo yakho ithunqelelani izimvu zedlelo lakho na?
2Khumbula ibandla lakho owalizuza endulo, owalikhulula ukuba libe yisifunda sefa lakho, nentaba yaseSiyoni ohlala kuyo.
3Lulamisela izinyawo zakho emidilikweni yaphakade; isitha sone konke endlini engcwele.
4Izitha zakho zibhongile phakathi kwendlu yakho yokubuthana, zamisa izimpawu zazo zaba yizimpawu.
5Zaba sengathi abantu baphakamisa amazembe emithini eminyeneyo.
6Konke okubaziweyo kwayo sezikuphohloze ngembazo nangesando.
7Zayokhela indlu yakho engcwele; indlu yegama lakho zayidumaza kwaze kwaba phansi emhlabathini.
8Zathi enhliziyweni yazo: “Masibachithe kanyekanye,” zashisa zonke izindlu zokubuthana zikaNkulunkulu ezweni.
9Izimpawu zethu asiziboni; akusekho mprofethi; akakho kithina owaziyo ukuthi koze kube nini.
10Nkulunkulu, koze kube nini umcindezeli ethuka, isitha sihlambalaza igama lakho njalo, na?
11Usihoshelani isandla sakho, isandla sakho sokunene, na? Sihoshe esifubeni sakho, uzichithe.
12Nokho uNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yami kwaphakade eyenza insindiso emhlabeni.
13Nguwena owahlukanisa ulwandle ngamandla akho, wachofoza amakhanda ezilo ezesabekayo emanzini.
14Nguwena owaphohloza amakhanda kaLeviyathani,* wamnika abe ngukudla kwezidalwa zasehlane.
15Nguwena owaqhamukisa isiphethu nomfudlana; nguwe owomisa imifula egobhoza njalo.
16Usuku ngolwakho, nobusuku ngobakho; nguwena owenza ukukhanya nelanga.
17Nguwena owamisa yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba; nguwe owenza ihlobo nobusika.
18Khumbula lokhu, Jehova, ukuthi isitha sithukile, nesizwe esinobuwula silihlambalazile igama lakho.
19Ungawunikeli umphefumulo wejuba lakho esilwaneni; ungakhohlwa ukuphila kwezihlupheki zakho njalo.
20Khumbula isivumelwano, ngokuba izindawo ezimnyama zezwe zigcwele izindlu zobudlova.
21Ocindezelweyo makangabuyi ejabhile; ohluphekayo nompofu mababonge igama lakho.
22Vuka, Nkulunkulu, uyimele indaba yakho; khumbula ukuthi uklolodelwa yiziwula usuku lonke.
23Ungakhohlwa izwi lezitha zakho, ukuxokozela kwabakuvukelayo okwenyukela njalonjalo.
