Bhekani kuy’ uYehova; umdala wezinsuku (Give praise to the Lord, the Ancient of Days)
Funani ubuso bakhe, nimkhonze naye (Seek His presence and worship Him)
Ulungile unothando, nenceb’ engapheliyo (He is full of love and mercy)
Uthanda thina sonke (And He loves us all)

Refrain:
Ebunzimeni, uhlal’ engumncedi wami (My helper in times of trouble)
Uhamba nami, uhlal’ eseduze kwami (He walks with me, always by my side)
Noma kumnyama, Yen’ ukukhanya kwami (In darkness, He is my light)
Uyabonelela uYehova, uBaba wam (The Lord my Father, is generous)

Udeka itafula, phambi kwezitha zami (He prepares a table before my enemies)
Ngidle, ngidle, O Baba ngiyabonga (I feast and feast, Oh Father I thank You)

Bong’ uYehova mphefumlo wam (Bless the Lord oh my soul)
Undenzela konk’ okuhle (For He has done great things for me)

Udeka itafula, phambi kwezitha zami (He prepares a table before my enemies)
Ngidle, ngidle, O Baba ngiyabonga (I feast and feast, Oh Father I thank You)

Kuligugu kimina njalo (It is continually precious to me )
Ukwaz’ ukuthi nginomhlobo (In knowing that I have a friend)

Ohlal’ ekhona uma ngimdinga ngempela (Who is there when I’m in need)

Jesu ungumhlobo wangempela  (Jesus, truly You are my Friend)
Lapho abantu bengijikela (When people turn against me)
Izivunguvungu zizinthlangothi zonke (And trouble overwhelms me)
Lapho izitha zibhodla okwengenyama (When my enemies roar like the lion)
Ziqond’ ukungigwinya (threatening to swallow me)

Uthembisile Jesu (Jesus, You promised)
Uyohlal’ unami njalo nje (That you’ll be with me forever) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Uphi umhlobo onjengaye? (Which other friend is like Him?)
Akajiki uhlal’ ekhona (He is always present)
Uthembekile unothando lwaphakade (I trust His everlasting love)
Thando lwakhe lujulile lubanzi (His love that is deep and wide)

Uthembisile Jesu (Jesus, You promised)
Uyohlal’ unami njalo nje (That you’ll be with me forever) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Uyohlal’ unami njalo nje (That you’ll be with me forever) (Repeat)

I’m thirsty only for you Lord, I’m thirsting for You
Keeper of my Soul, I am thirsting for you
… of my Heart, I’m thirsting for You
Healer of my Soul, I’m thirsting for you
