Enkathini elahlekile, phakathi kwamakhasi alotshiwe angcwele,
Ithunzi liyazulazula, Oletha Ubumnyama, uqalekisiwe.
Kusukela embhalweni wasendulo kuya esenzweni esisha saphezulu,
Indaba yakhe iyenzeka, isiphetho esibi nesihlanekezelwe.
Umsunguli kaDavide, ngaphansi kwesibhakabhaka esigcwele izinkanyezi,
Ugqugquzela isono, ukubala izinhliziyo ezingenakuzivikela.
Ubuhlungu nenxeba, inani lokuziqhenya,
Umhlaba uyakhala, isibhakabhaka siba mnyama, ithemba liyashabalala.
Umphikisi kaJobe, esivunguvungwini sempilo,
Uzwa ukholo, ngobuhlungu kanye nokuphelelwa ithemba.
Kodwa umphefumulo ohlanzekile, ekuhluphekeni uthola,
Ukukhanya okunamandla, intambo yokuphila.
Ummangaleli kaJoshuwa, phambi kukaJehova,
Amazwi avuthayo, kodwa umusa waphezulu uyanqoba.
Isihe siyehla, ukumangalelwa kuyahlakazeka,
Entethelweni, isiqalo esisha, isibusiso esisha.
Umlingi ogwadule, ngezithembiso eziyize,
UJesu uyamelana, iZwi liyamvikela.
Izinselelo ezimbi kathathu, ziphikwa kathathu;
IQiniso liyanqoba, ubumnyama buyahlehla.
Uwile esibhakabhakeni, njengombani ongazelele,
Ukuhlubuka kwakhe, isililo esingapheli.
Ukulahlekelwa ukukhanya, ukuziqhenya okuphukile,
Ingelosi ewile, ekudangaleni okuphakade.
Umgqugquzeli wokukhaphela, izinhliziyo ezonakele,
U-Ananiya uyawa, iqiniso liyafihlwa.
Kodwa ukukhanya kungena, isono sembulwa,
Ubulungisa bukaNkulunkulu, isixwayiso esinzima.
Ingelosi yokukhanya, kodwa ezifihle ekukhohliseni,
Uyenga izinhliziyo, ngezithembiso zamanga ezihlotshiswe.
Kepha obona ngale kwalokho uthola amanga,
Futhi ohambweni olunzima, ukholo luyaqiniswa.
Isitha esibhongayo sifuna ukushwabadela.
Kodwa abanesibindi bayamelana, abakhohliswa.
Ukuqapha nomthandazo, izikhali ekulweni,
Ngokumelene nobumnyama, inqaba yethemba.
Udrako Omkhulu, ekubhujisweni okupheleleyo kokugcina komhlaba, kwembulwe, inyoka yasendulo, isiphetho esibekwe uphawu.
Eboshiwe iminyaka eyinkulungwane, ukubusa kwakhe kuyaphela,
Ukukhanya kuyanqoba, ubumnyama buyanyamalala.
Ngakho ephakadeni, indlela yakhe ivunguza,
Umlethi wobumnyama, ocwile osizini olungapheli.
Kepha kuzo zonke izinhliziyo ezikhuthazelayo, kukho konke ukukholwa okuphikelelayo.
Inkanyezi iyakhanyisa, isithembiso sokuntwela kokusa, ezweni elihlengiwe.
