Ukuthandazela inkqubela yesizwe

Kumbhexeshi-kwayara; umhobe woonyana bakaKora.

1 Ewe, *Ndikhoyo, ulazelelele eli lizwe;

uYakobi umthe jize ngendyebo nenkqubela.

2 Ubaxolele abantu bakho ngobugwenxa babo;

ubuye wazilibala izono zabo.

3 Ubuye wayibamba ingqumbo yakho;

uphinde wathomalala umsindo wakho.

4 Yiba nebuyambo, Thixo, usisindise,

ungabi sakhathazeka sithi.

5 Ngani ukuba ungabi saphela umsindo wakho?

Koda kube zizizukulwana ucaphukile na?

6 Nceda ubuye usihlaziye,

abantu bakho bagcobe ngawe.

7 Maziphuphumele kuthi izibele zothando lwakho;

awu, Ndikhoyo, sithi jize ngenkululeko yakho.

8 Mandiweve amazwi kaNdikhoyo uThixo;

kaloku uzisa uxolo kubantu bakhe,

kwabo bayimilowo yakhe engajika-jikiyo.

9 Ngenene usindiso lwakhe lukufuphi kwabo bamthobelayo;

nobungangamsha bakhe bohlala kweli lizwe.

10 Kodibana uthando nokunyaniseka,

ubulungisa noxolo bulale ngengub’ enye.

11 Ukunyaniseka kuya kuntshula emhlabeni;

ubulungisa bona boqwalasela busesibhakabhakeni.

12 Ewe, uNdikhoyo wosithi jize ngenkqubela,

lona ilizwe lethu libe yintombazana.

13 Yena uya kukhokelwa bubulungisa;

ewe, buya kumgabulela izigcawu.
