97 Yehovha i Hosi!+
Misava a yi tsake.+
Swihlala swo tala a swi tsake.+
2 U rhendzeriwe hi mapapa ni munyama lowukulu;+
Xiluvelo xakwe xi sekeriwe eka ku lulama ni vululami.+
3 Emahlweni ka yena ku ni ndzilo+
Wu herisa valala vakwe matlhelo hinkwawo.+
4 Rihati rakwe ri voninga tiko;
Misava ya ri vona kutani yi rhurhumela.+
5 Tintshava ta n’oka ku fana ni mhula emahlweni ka Yehovha,+
Emahlweni ka Hosi ya misava hinkwayo.
6 Matilo ma twarisa ku lulama ka yena,
Naswona vanhu hinkwavo va vona ku vangama kakwe.+
7 Hinkwavo lava gandzelaka xifaniso lexi vatliweke a va khomiwe hi tingana,+
Lava tibumaka hi swikwembu swa vona leswi nga pfuniki nchumu.+
N’wina swikwembu hinkwaswo, khinsamani eka yena.+
8 Muti wa Siyoni wa swi twa, wu tsaka;+
Swimitana swa Yuda swi tsakile
Hikwalaho ka vuavanyisi bya wena, Yehovha Xikwembu xanga.+
9 Hikuva wena Yehovha hi wena La Nge Henhlahenhla emisaveni hinkwayo;
U tlakukile swinene eka swikwembu leswin’wana hinkwaswo.+
10 N’wina lava rhandzaka Yehovha, vengani leswo biha.+
U sirhelela vutomi bya vanhu vakwe lava tshembekaka;+
Wa va ponisa evokweni ra lavo homboloka.+
11 Ku vonakala ku voningele lavo lulama+
Naswona va tsaka lava nga ni timbilu letinene.
12 N’wina lavo lulama tsakani eka Yehovha,
Khensani vito rakwe ro kwetsima.
