Umkhuleko kaMosi umuntu kaNkulunkulu.

1Thixo, wena ulikhaya lethu
kuzozonke izizukulwane.
2Izintaba zingakabikhona
lalapho ungakawuvezi umhlaba kanye lelizwe,
kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade unguNkulunkulu.

3Ubuyisela abantu ethulini,
usithi, “Buyelani othulini, lina madodana abantu.”
4Ngoba iminyaka eyinkulungwane ekuboneni kwakho
injengosuku olusanda kudlula,
kumbe njengomlindo webusuku.
5Uyabakhucula abantu ebuthongweni bokufa;
banjengotshani obutsha obekuseni
6lokuba ekuseni buhluma bubutsha,
kuthi ntambama sebomile sebubunile.

7Ulaka lwakho luyasitshabalalisa
sithuthumeliswe yikucaphuka kwakho.
8Usubuchayile ububi bethu phambi kwakho,
izono zethu zensitha wazichaya ekukhanyeni kobukhona bakho.
9Zonke insuku zethu ziyedlula ngaphansi kolaka lwakho;
leminyaka yethu siyiphetha ngokububula.
10Ubude bezinsuku zethu buyiminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa
loba amatshumi ayisificaminwembili, nxa silamandla;
kanti lelobanga layo liluhlupho losizi,
ngoba iphanga yedlule, lathi siphaphe nje sedlule.
11Ngubani owaziyo amandla olaka lwakho na?
Ngoba intukuthelo yakho inkulu njengokwesatshwa okukufaneleyo.
12Sifundise ukubala kuhle insuku zethu,
ukuze sizuze inhliziyo yenhlakanipho.

13Phola, Oh Thixo! Koze kube nini kulokhu kunjalo na?
Woba lesihawu ezincekwini zakho.
14Sisuthise ekuseni ngothando lwakho olungaphuthiyo,
ukuze sihlabelele ngentokozo sijabule zonke insuku zethu.
15Senze sijabule okwensuku ezilingana ukusihlupha kwakho,
okwensuku ezilingana lalezo esesabona ngazo ukudubeka.
16Sengathi imisebenzi yakho ingatshengiswa ezincekwini zakho,
inkazimulo yakho ebantwaneni babo.

17Sengathi umusa weNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ungehlela kithi;
uqinise umsebenzi wezandla zethu
yebo, qinisa umsebenzi wezandla zethu.
