Ngiyakuthanda, Simakade, ongamandla ami.
Simakade, uyidwala lami nenqaba yami,
noMkhululi wami,
uNkulunkulu wami;
uyidwala engikhosela kulo,
isihlangu sami, nophondo lwensindiso yami,
inqaba yami.
Ngikhala kuSimakade omele ukudunyiswa,
ngisindiswe ezitheni zami.
Izintambo zokufa zangizungeza,
izikhukhula zembubhiso zangikhungatha.
Izintambo zendawo yabafileyo zangibamba.
Izihibe zokufa zangehlela.
Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngakhala kuSimakade,
ngakhala, uNkulunkulu walizwa izwi lami
esethempelini lakhe;
ukukhala kwami, kwafinyelela ezindlebeni zakhe.
Umhlaba wazamazama, wathuthumela,
izisekelo zezintaba zanyakaza,
zashukumela emuva naphambili, wavutha.
Ukhafula intuthu ngamakhala akhe,
kuthaphuke umlilo oqothulayo emlonyeni wakhe,
akhafule amalahle avuthayo.
Uqhekeza isibhakabhaka
bese ehla emi ngezinyawo zakhe,
phezu kwesigayegaye sobumnyama.
Uza endiza, egibele ikherubhi,
eshweza ngamaphiko omoya.
Uzisonge ngobumnyama,
wazemboza ngemvula yamafu amnyama bhuqe!
Wendulelwa ngumbani,
amafu akhe ehlisa isichotho
namalahle avuthayo.
USimakade uyaduma esibhakabhakeni;
Ophezukonke uyabhodla,
wehlisa isichotho namalahle ankemuzelayo.
Uciba ngemicibisholo yakhe,
izitha zihlakazeke;
umbani ulokhu uthi nyazi,
uzidudulela kude.
Ngenkathi Wena, Simakade, uzithethisa,
lapho uzifutha ngamakhala akho,
umphefumulo wakho uziqumbe phansi.
Izinzulu zolwandle zavela obala,
nezisekelo zomhlaba zaba kwabha.
USimakade welule isandla sakhe
esezulwini, wangixhakathisa,
wangidonsa, engikhipha ezikhukhuleni ezesabekayo.
Wangisindisa ezitheni zami ezinamandla;
bezinamandla kunami,
kodwa Yena wangihlenga.
Zingihlasele ngacishe ngabhubha,
kodwa uSimakade wangivikela.
Ungikhululile kuzona;
wangisindisa ngoba engithanda.
USimakade ungiklomelisile,
ngoba ngenza intando yakhe,
ungenzele okuhle,
ngoba ngimsulwa.
Ngihlala ngihamba ezinyathelweni zikaSimakade,
angikuvumeli ukuziphatha kwababi,
kungehlukanise noNkulunkulu wami.
Ngigcina yonke imithetho yakhe,
futhi izimiso zakhe angizishayi indiva.
Ngangingenasici phambi kwakhe,
ngaziqhelelanisa nesono.
USimakade wangivuza ngokwenza intando yakhe,
ngoba ukubonile ukuthi ngimsulwa.
Uhlala ethembekile kulabo abethembekile kuye,
abangenasici ubavuza ngezipho ezipheleleyo.
Konenhliziyo emhlophe
uzibonakalisa ehlanzekile,
kowonakele uzibonakalisa eyisigwegwe.
NguWena osindisa abazithobayo,
ujabhise abaqhoshayo.
USimakade uNkulunkulu wami,
ukhanyisa isibani sami,
akhanyise ubumnyama bami.
Ngokuba ngawe ngingahlasela impi,
ngoNkulunkulu wami, ngingeqa ugange.
Indlela yakho, Nkulunkulu, iphelele,
izwi likaSimakade lihlanzekile,
uyisihlangu sabo bonke abaphephela kuye.
Ngokuba ngubani onguNkulunkulu
ngaphandle kukaSimakade na?
Ngubani oyidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu na?
UNkulunkulu ongibhincisa amandla,
owenza indlela yami iphelele.
Wenza izinyawo zami zibe njengezendluzele,
angimise ngiqine ezindaweni zami eziphakemeyo.
Uqeqesha izandla zami,
ukuze ngikwazi ukulwa;
izingalo zami zibe namandla okugobisa
umnsalo wethusi.
Wena unginike isihlangu
sensindiso yakho,
isandla sakho sokunene singiphasile,
ubukhona bakho bungenze ngaba mkhulu.
Wandisile izinyathelo zami phansi kwami,
namaqakala ami awabhinyikanga.
Ngazixosha izitha zami, ngazifica,
angibuyanga ngaze ngaziqede nya.
Ngazilimaza, azakwazi ukuvuka,
zawa phansi kwezinyawo zami.
Wena ungibhincisa amandla
ukuze ngimelane nempi,
abangivukelayo ubenze bangikhothamela.
Unikele ngezitha zami kimi,
nabangizondayo ngabaqothula.
Bakhala, kodwa akubangabikho obasindisayo,
bakhala nakuSimakade, kepha akaze abaphendula.
Ngibacolisisa okothuli lupheshulwa yisiphepho,
ngibashabalalisa okodaka emgwaqweni.
Wangikhulula kubantu abangivukelayo.
Wangimisa ngaba yinhloko yezizwe,
abantu engingabazi bangikhonza.
Banele ukungizwa nje, bangilalela;
abantwana babafokazi bayathoba phansi kwami.
Abafokazi babuna,
baphuma ezinqabeni zabo begubhazela.
USimakade uyaphila, malidunyiswe idwala lami.
Makaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu wensindiso yami.
UNkulunkulu owangiphindiselela,
wenza izizwe zakhonza phansi kwami.
UNkulunkulu ungiphindiselele,
wenza abantu bazithobe phansi kwami.
Wangikhulula kumuntu oyisidlwangudlwangu.
Ngakho-ke ngiyakumbonga phakathi kwezizwe;
Simakade, ngiyakulihubela igama lakho.
Uyenza ibe nkulu insindiso enkosini,
wenza isihe kogcotshiweyo wakhe,
kuDavide nabozalo lwakhe
kuze kube phakade.
