| 1. | Maye kulabo abehlela usizo eGibhithe, abeyama emabhizeni, bethemba izinqola ngoba zizinengi, labagadi bamabhiza ngoba belamandla kakhulu, kodwa bengakhangeli koNgcwele kaIsrayeli, njalo bengadingi i Nkosi ! |
| 2. | Kanti layo ihlakaniphile, izaletha ububi, njalo kayiyikuwabuyisa amazwi ayo; kodwa izavukela indlu yabenzi bobubi, njalo imelene losizo lwabenzi beziphambeko. |
| 3. | Ngoba amaGibhithe angabantu, kabasuNkulunkulu, lamabhiza awo ayinyama, kawasimoya. Lapho i Nkosi izakwelula isandla sayo, osizayo uzakhubeka losizwayo uzakuwa phansi, njalo baphele kanyekanye. |
| 4. | Ngoba i Nkosi itsho njalo kimi: Njengesilwane lebhongo lesilwane kubhongela phezu kwempango yakho, lapho ixuku labelusi libizelwe ukumelana laso, kasiyikwesaba ilizwi labo, njalo kasiyikuzithoba ngenxa yomsindo wabo; ngokunjalo i Nkosi yamabandla izakwehla ukulwela intaba yeZiyoni loqaqa lwayo. |
| 5. | Njengenyoni eziphaphayo, ngokunjalo i Nkosi yamabandla izavikela iJerusalema; ivikela, iza y ophula; isedlula, iyikhulule. |
| 6. | Phendukelani ku yo abantwana bakoIsrayeli abahlubuke ngokujulileyo kuyo. |
| 7. | Ngoba ngalolosuku bazalahla, wonke umuntu izithombe zakhe zesiliva lezithombe zakhe zegolide, ozandla zenu zilenzele zona ukuba yisono. |
| 8. | ISiriya izakuwa-ke ngenkemba engeyisiyo yomuntu olamandla, lenkemba engeyisiyo yomuntukazana izayiqeda; kodwa izabalekela inkemba, kuthi amajaha ayo abe yizibhalwa. |
| 9. | Izakwedlulela edwaleni layo ngokwesaba, leziphathamandla zayo zesabe uphawu, itsho i Nkosi, omlilo wayo useZiyoni, lesithando sayo siseJerusalema. |
