| 1. | Ngenxa yeZiyoni kangiyikuthula, langenxa yeJerusalema kangiyikuphumula, kuze kuphume ukulunga kwayo njengokukhanya, lokukhululwa kwayo njengesihlanti* esivuthayo. |
| 2. | Izizwe zizabona ukulunga kwakho, lamakhosi wonke abone inkazimulo yakho; uzabizwa ngebizo elitsha umlomo we Nkosi ozakutha lona. |
| 3. | Uzakuba ngumqhele omuhle ophethwe yi Nkosi, lomqhele wobukhosi ophethwe nguNkulunkulu wakho. |
| 4. | Kawusayikubizwa ngokuthi ngoTshiyiweyo, lelizwe lakini kalisayikuthiwa ngoLahliweyo; kodwa uzabizwa ngokuthi yiNtokozo yami, lelizwe lakini ngokuthi ngoWendileyo; ngoba i Nkosi iyathokoza ngawe, lelizwe lakini libe ngelayo. |
| 5. | Ngoba njengejaha lithatha intombi emsulwa, ngokunjalo-ke okwakhayo uzakuthatha; lanjengomyeni ethokoziswa ngumakoti, uNkulunkulu wakho uzathokoza ngawe. |
| 6. | Ngibekile abalindi phezu kwemithangala yakho, wena Jerusalema; kabayikuthula lakanye emini lebusuku. Lina elingabakhumbuzi be Nkosi lingaphumuli, |
| 7. | lingayiyekeli iphumule, ize yakhe iJerusalema, iyenze ibe lodumo emhlabeni. |
| 8. | I Nkosi ifungile ngesandla sayo sokunene, langengalo yayo elamandla yathi: Kangisayikunika izitha zakho amabele akho abe yikudla kwazo, labezizwe kabayikunatha iwayini lakho elitsha olisebenzeleyo; |
| 9. | kodwa labo abawavunileyo bazawadla badumise i Nkosi; lalabo abazibuthayo izithelo zevini bazanatha iwayini emagumeni endlu yami engcwele. |
| 10. | Phumani ngamasango, lilungisele abantu indlela; candani umgwaqo omkhulu, likhuphe amatshe, liphakamisele abantu uphawu. |
| 11. | Khangela, i Nkosi isimemezele emhlabeni wonke yathi: Tshonini kuyo iZiyoni lithi: Khangela, iNkosi iyeza ukukusindisa; iyeza lomvuzo wayo, lenkokhelo yayo iphambi kwayo. |
| 12. | Bazabizwa ngokuthi ngabantu abangcwele, abahlengiweyo be Nkosi; wena uzakuthiwa ngoDingiweyo, umuzi ongatshiywanga. |
