Jehova Morena Wa ka
Jehovah, my Lord
1. Jehova, Morena wa ka, U hlophehile, u khabane, U mpileditse ho baka, Ke u lebohe, ke u ane; Mahlo a hao a ncheba ka mehla. A nke ke o kgahlise ; Mefokolong o nkapesa matla, Ke tle ke o tlotlise.
2. Taba tsa hao ke tsa mosa, Ke tsa pako, ke tsa khalemo, Di loketse ho ntemosa, LDi tletse 'nete le molemo; Moea oa ka o bitsa ho uena, Ha ke u khumametse, Ditsebe tsa ka di o mametse. Ak'u nthute, Morena.
3. Monghadi, letsoho la hao A le tshware letsoho la ka; U ntike pele le morao, Ntate, se phetse ho nqamaka, Ke lemalle tsela e lokileng, Ke khomarele 'nete; O nthuse melao e hloekileng, O ntise hamonate.
English translation
1. Jehovah, my Lord, You are holy, You are glorious, You have called me to repent, I thank You, I praise You; Your eyes watch me always. May I please You; In my weakness You give me strength, So that I may honor You.
2. Your matters are merciful, They are for repentance, for correction, They are meant to instruct me, They are full of truth and goodness; My spirit calls to You, When I bow before You, My ears listen to You. Teach me, Lord.
3. Lord, may Your hand Hold my hand; Lead me forward and backward, Father, do not let me stray, Let me walk the right path, Let me cling to truth; Help me with pure laws, Lead me well.
