Ungas’lahli, ngelixesha – eli njena (Do not forsake us in trying times such as this)

El Shaddai Adonai, thethelela ndiyakucela

(My Lord, God Almighty, I pray that You save us)

Xolela (Forgive us)

Ndithembhe Wena (I have placed my trust in you)

Bawo yibanathi, nge lixesha elinje (Father be with us, in times such as these)

Xa ukhona Thixo, nedlela ikhona
