⁷Ngaloo mini uDavide waqala wamisa uAsafu nabazalwana bakhe ukuba babulele kuBawo wethu: ⁸Bulelani kuBawo wethu; nqulani igama lakhe; vakalisani izenzo zakhe phakathi kwezizwe! ⁹Vumani kuye; mvumeleni ingoma kuye; balisani ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakhe ebalulekileyo! ¹⁰Gcobani ngegama lakhe elingcwele; mazivuye iintliziyo zabo bamquqelayo uBawo wethu! ¹¹Mquqeleni uBawo wethu namandla akhe; funani ubuso bakhe ngamaxesha onke! ¹²Khumbulani imisebenzi ebalulekileyo ayenzileyo, izimanga zakhe nezigwebo zomlomo wakhe. ¹³Nina bantwana bakaSirayeli umkhonzi wakhe, nina boonyana bakaYakobi, abanyulwa bakhe! ¹⁴NguBawo wethu; izigwebo zakhe zisehlabathini lonke. ¹⁵Khumbulani umnqophiso wakhe ngonaphakade, ilizwi awaliyalela izizukulwana eziliwaka, ¹⁶umnqophiso awawenza no-Abraham, nesifungo awasifungela u-Isake, ¹⁷awawuqinisa kuYakobi waba ngummiselo, kuSirayeli waba ngumnqophiso ongunaphakade, ¹⁸esithi: “Ndiya kukunika ilizwe lakwaKanan libe licandelo lelifa lakho.” ¹⁹Oko naningabambalwa ngenani, ningabantu abangento yanto, ningabaphambukeli kwelo lizwe, ²⁰nibhadula, nithabathela kolunye uhlanga nisiya kolunye, nithabathela kobunye ubukumkani nisiya kwabanye abantu, ²¹akavumanga ukuba kubekho bani ucinezela bona; wabakhalimela ookumkani ngenxa yabo,

Mnquleni uBawo wethu ebuhleni bobungcwele. ³⁰Gubhani phambi kwakhe, hlabathi lonke! Inene, ihlabathi lizinzile liqinile; alisayi kushukunyiswa. ³¹Mawavuye amazulu, ligcobe nehlabathi, mabathi phakathi kweentlanga: “UBawo wethu uyalawula!” ³²Maluhlokome ulwandle, nako konke okulizalisayo; mazigcobe amasimi, nako konke okukuwo! ³³Yona ke imithi yehlathi iya kuvuma ngovuyo phambi koBawo wethu, kuba uyeza kugweba ihlabathi. ³⁴Bulelani kuBawo wethu, kuba elungile; kuba ingunaphakade inceba yomnqophiso wakhe! ³⁵Yithini kananjalo: “Sisindise, Bawo wethu; sihlanganise, usihlangule phakathi kweentlanga, ukuze sibulele kwigama lakho elingcwele, sigcobe kwindumiso yakho.” ³⁶Makabongwe uBawo wethu, kususela ephakadeni kuse ephakadeni! Baza bonke abantu bathi: “Amen!” bambonga uBawo wethu.
