64 Kube mane nje bewungadzabula emazulu ekhatsi bese uyehla
Kuze kunyakate tintsaba ngenca yakho,
2 Njengalapho umlilo ulumeka tinsaba,
Futsi ubilisa emanti.
Titsa takho betiyawubese tiyalati libito lakho,
Netive betiyawuchachatela embikwakho.
3 Ngesikhatsi wenta tintfo letimangalisako lebesingakaze sibe nelitsemba lekutsi titakwenteka,+
Wena wehla kwanyakata tintsaba embikwakho.+
4 Kusukela kadzeni kute loweva nobe lowabeka indlebe,
Futsi kute liso lelabona lomunye Nkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho,
5 Wena uhlangene nalabo labatsandza kwenta lokuhle,+
Labo labakukhumbulako futsi labahamba etindleleni takho.
Wena watfukutsela ngesikhatsi sichubeka sona,+
Sakwenta sikhatsi lesidze loko.
Kufanele yini nyalo sisindziswe?
6 Sonkhe sesifanana nemuntfu longcolile,
Futsi tonkhe tento tetfu tekulunga tifana nesicephu semfati losesikhatsini.+
Sonkhe sitawubuna njengelicembe,
Nemaphutsa etfu atasiphephula njengemoya.
7 Kute lobita libito lakho,
Kute lowetama kufuna lusito lwakho,
Ngobe wena usifihlele buso bakho,+
Futsi ubangela kutsi sondze ngenca yeliphutsa letfu.
8 Kodvwa wena, awu Jehova, unguBabe wetfu.+
Tsine silubumba futsi wena unguMbumbi wetfu;+
Sonkhe singumsebenti wesandla sakho.
9 Awu Jehova, ungasitfukutseleli kakhulu,+
Futsi ungawakhumbuli emaphutsa etfu kuze kube phakadze.
Sicela usinake ngobe sonkhe sibantfu bakho.
10 Emadolobha akho langcwele agucuke aba lihlane.
ISiyoni seyigucuke yaba lihlane,
IJerusalema yaba yindzawo lengenalutfo.+
11 Indlu* yetfu yebungcwele neyenkhatimulo,*
Lapho bokhokho betfu bebakudvumisela khona,
Seyishiswe ngemlilo+
Futsi tonkhe tintfo lebesititsandza setibhujisiwe.
12 Awu Jehova, ngemuva kwako konkhe loku, utawuchubeka yini utibambile?
Utawuchubeka yini ubindzile futsi usiyekele sihlupheke kabuhlungu kanjena?+
