jehovah nkulukulu wami
ngizisondeza phambi kwebuso bakho
ngigucile ngamadolo ngibheke phansi
ngizifihla ubuso bami nje ngiswabile nkosi
ngiswabiswa imisebendzi yezandla zethu
ngiswabiswa ububi izandla zethu esibendza mihla yonke
namhlanje nkos'yami yasemazulwini
ngigucile ngyakuthandaza
ngiyacela baba ngivumele ngikhulume nomuntu
ngivumele somandla ngikhulume nesidalwa sakho
namhlanje ngenze umbhuli wesandla
ohh ungangenzi umahluleli nkos'yami
ngenze umbhuli wesandla baba ungiphe amehlo omoya
ohh mfowethu bheka isandla sakho
namhlanje sivule usbhekisise
ubone ukungcola nokuswabisa kwaso
izolo lokhu besakha ngenhlonipho nothando olumangalisayo
lapho sibambe khona sibamba kucine
siduduza futhi sijabulisa
ukufudumala kwaso kulalisa ngisho nosana oluncane
namhlanje abazali bethu balele emathuneni
ngenca yezandla zethu
amakhaya ezihlobo nabangani avalwe ngamahlathi
ngenca yezandla zethu
isandla sala umuntu asithandaza
aguce ngamadolo asincenga
athi yooo!!! ungangibulali
kodwa sona isandla sochubeka sihlabe kuchitheke igazi
sala ngisho ingane encane imemeza
ngezwane ithi uyangilimaza
kodwa sona sochubeka sihlabe kuchitheke igazi
isandla syakubhambhatha sikufudumeze,
uzwe imizwa yomzimba igijima
sibuye sikwenzele ukudla sikufakele ushevu,
ufe uphele wonke umndeni.
namhlanje izandla zethu sishiye ishoshwa
zashiya neyintandane
imizi eminingi ikhala ibhungane ngenca yezandla zethu.
ngabe kwenzenjani ngezandla zethu.
mzalwane wami bheka izandla zakho, usbhekisise.
ngabe izandla zeciniso na!
ngabe izandla zakho izandla zenyembezi na!
ngabe izandla segazi na!
ngabe siyakha nome siyabhidliza na!.
uthi u davide indodana ka nkulukulu
oh ngyacela nkosi ngiwele ezandleni zakho,
ngingaweli ezandleni zomuntu,
ngoba izandla zomuntu
syasabeka nkosi.
sidinga uncedo,
sidinga insindiso baba.
oh! bawo hawukela izandla zethu.
faka uzwelo ezandleni zomuntu
ngegama lenkosi yethu ujesu krestu
ngicela uthando ezandleni zomuntu

baba syakuthandaza,
sincede baba.
amen.
