Yoo! Andaba bendineenyanga ezinjengezaphambili, Njengemihla abendigcinile uThixo;

Xa ukukhanya kwesibane sakhe bekuphezu kwentloko yam, Xa ngokukhanya kwakhe bendibuhamba ubumnyama;

Njengoko bendinjalo ngemihla yam yokwindla, Oko ukucweya kukaThixo bekuphezu kwentente yam;

Bendingamehlo kwimfama, Bendiziinyawo kwisiqhwala;

Babendiphulaphula, balindele, Bathi tu ecebeni lam.

22.

Emva kwelizwi lam babengaphindi bathethe, Kubachaphazele ukukhuluma kwam.

Bendibancumela, bencamile; Ukukhanya kobuso bam bangakusanganisi.

Bendibanyulela indlela, ndihlale ndiyintloko; Bendihlala njengokumkani phakathi komkhosi, Njengothuthuzela abenza isijwili.
