Umkhuleko kaDavida. Zwana, Oh Thixo, ukuncenga kwami okulungileyo; lalela ukukhala kwami. Zwana umkhuleko wami, kawusuki ezindebeni ezikhohlisayo. 
Ukugezwa kwami ecaleni kakuvele kuwe; sengathi amehlo Akho angabona lokho okuqondileyo. 
Udungulule inhliziyo yami wangihlola ebusuku wangilinga, kawuyikufumana lutho olubi engiluhlelileyo; sengizimisele ukuthi umlomo wami ungenzi sono. 
Mayelana lezenzo zabantu, mina ngizazithiba ezindleleni zobudlwangudlwangu ngelizwi lezindebe zakho. 
Izinyathelo zami zalela ezindleleni zakho; inyawo zami kazizange zitshelele. 
Ngikhala kuwe, Oh Nkulunkulu ngoba uzangiphendula; ngilalela uzwe umkhuleko wami. 
Tshengisa ukumangalisa kothando lwakho olukhulu, wena osindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene, labo ababalekela kuwe ezitheni zabo. 
Ngilondoloza njengegugu lakho; ngifihla emthunzini wamaphiko akho 
kwababi abangihlaselayo, ezitheni zami ezimbi ezingihanqileyo. 
Bagcika inhliziyo zabo ezingelazwelo, lemilomo yabo ikhuluma iqholoza. 
Sebeze bangithola, manje sebengihanqile bangiqhuzulele amehlo bafuna ukungilahla phansi. 
Banjengesilwane silambele loba yini esingayidumela, njengesilwane esesabekayo siquthile sicatshile. 
Phakama, Oh Thixo, basukele, balahle phansi; ngilamulela kwababi ngenkemba yakho. 
Oh Thixo, ngisindisa ngesandla sakho ebantwini abanjalo, ebantwini bakulumhlaba omvuzo wabo ukuyonale impilo. Udedisa iphango lalabo obathandayo; amadodana abo akhomba ngophakathi; baqoqela abantwababo inotho. 
Mina-ke ngenxa yokulunga ngizabubona ubuso bakho; ngizakuthi ekuvukeni kwami nganeliswe yikubona isimo sakho.
