4 Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova,

‘Ngenxa yamacala amathathu kaJuda+ loba amane, angisoze ngibuyele emuva,

Ngoba abawulalelanga umthetho* kaJehova,

Njalo kabazange bayigcine imilayo yakhe,+

Kodwa sebedukiswe ngamanga ayelandelwa ngokhokho babo.+

 5 Ngakho ngizathumela umlilo koJuda,

Uzatshisa ulobise izinqaba eziqinileyo zeJerusalema.’+
