1. Jehova Nkos’ yethu siyakubonga,

Ngoba usiphile iLizwi lakho.

Im’bhal’ iphefum’lelwe

futh’ ileqiniso,

Iyas’khanyisela ngolwazi lwakho.

2. Lon’ iLizwi lakho lilaw’ amandla,

L’yakuguqula ukuphila kwethu.

Im’thetho yakho

Nkosi yona iphelele,

Iyasiqondisa kwesikwenzayo.

3. Wasebenzis’ abant’ ukulibhala,

Babefanana lathi labobantu.

S’ncede sibe lokholo

eLizwini lakho,

S’yabonga Jehova ngeLizwi lakho.
