44 O Nkulunkulu, sizwile ngezindlebe zethu,
Okhokho bethu bawulandisile kithi+
Umsebenzi owawenza ezinsukwini zabo,+
Ezinsukwini zakudala.+
2 Waxosha ngisho nezizwe ngesandla sakho,+
Watshala bona esikhundleni sazo.+
Waphula amaqembu ezizwe wawamukisa.+
3 Abazange balidle ngenkemba yabo ifa lezwe,+
Futhi akuyona ingalo yabo eyabalethela insindiso.+
Ngoba kwakuyisandla sakho sokunene nengalo yakho+ nokukhanya kobuso bakho,
Ngoba wawujabula ngabo.+
4 O Nkulunkulu, wena uyiNkosi yami.+
Yala ukuba uJakobe athole insindiso enkulu.+
5 Ngawe siyobasunduza abaphikisana nathi;+
Egameni lakho siyobanyathela abasivukelayo.+
6 Ngoba angizange ngithembele emnsalweni wami+
Futhi kwakungeyona inkemba yami eyayingisindisa.+
7 Ngoba wena wasisindisa kwabaphikisana nathi,+
Futhi wabahlaza labo abasizonda kakhulu.+
8 Sizonikela indumiso kuNkulunkulu usuku lonke,+
Futhi igama lakho sizolidumisa kuze kube nini nanini.+ Sela.
9 Kodwa manje ulahlile futhi uyaqhubeka usilulaza,+
Futhi awuphumi namabutho ethu.+
10 Ulokhu usenza ukuba simfulathele ophikisana nathi,+
Futhi bona kanye abasizonda kakhulu bazithathele ingcugco.+
11 Usinikela njengezimvu, njengokuthile okudliwayo,+
Futhi usihlakazile phakathi kwezizwe.+
12 Uthengisa abantu bakho ngaphandle kwenani ngisho nelincane,+
Awuzuzanga mcebo ngentengo yabo.
13 Usimisa sibe isihlamba komakhelwane bethu,+
Into yokuhlekwa usulu nokuklolodelwa kulabo abasizungezile.+
14 Usimisa sibe yisaga phakathi kwezizwe,+
Ukunikinelwa ikhanda phakathi kwamaqembu ezizwe.+
15 Ukululazeka kwami kuphambi kwami usuku lonke,
Namahloni asebusweni bami angimbozile,+
16 Ngenxa yezwi lohlambalazayo nochaphayo,
Ngenxa yesitha noziphindiselelayo.+
17 Yikho konke lokhu okusehlele, futhi asizange sikukhohlwe,+
Asenzanga ngokungathembeki esivumelwaneni sakho.+
18 Inhliziyo yethu ayibuyelanga emuva ngokungabi nalukholo,+
Nezinyathelo zethu aziphambukanga endleleni yakho.+
19 Ngoba usichobozile endaweni yezimpungushe,+
Futhi usimboza ngethunzi elimnyama.+
20 Uma silikhohliwe igama likaNkulunkulu wethu,
Noma selulelé izintende zethu kunkulunkulu ongaziwa,+
21 Ngeke yini uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe akuthola lokhu?+
Ngoba uyazazi izimfihlo zenhliziyo.+
22 Kodwa sibulewe usuku lonke ngenxa yakho;
Sibalwé njengezimvu zokuhlatshwa.+
23 O Jehova, Vuka. Kungani uqhubeka ulele?+
Phaphama. Ungaqhubeki ulahla kuze kube phakade.+
24 Kungani uhlala ufihle ubuso bakho?
Kungani ukhohlwa ukuhlupheka kwethu nokucindezelwa kwethu?+
25 Ngoba umphefumulo wethu ukhothamé othulini ngokwalo;+
Isisu sethu sinamathele emhlabathini.
26 Vuka usisize+
Futhi usikhulule ngenxa yomusa wakho wothando.+
