66 ¹Memezani ngenjabulo kuBaba wethu, wena mhlaba wonke! ²Hlabelelani inkazimulo yegama lakhe; yenzani udumo lwakhe lukhazimule. ³Thanini kuBaba wethu: “Mangalisa kangakanani imisebenzi yakho! Ngamandla akho amakhulu izitha zakho ziyakhothama phambi kwakho. ⁴Wonke umhlaba uyakukhonza futhi uhlabelela izindumiso kuwe; bahlabelela izindumiso egameni lakho.”

⁵Wozani nibone imisebenzi kaBaba wethu, omangalisayo ngezenzo zakhe kubantu bonke. ⁶Waguqula ulwandle lwaba ngumhlabathi owomile; bawela umfula ngezinyawo. Lapho sajabula kuye. ⁷Ubusa ngamandla akhe kuze kube phakade; amehlo akhe ayazibheka izizwe— mabangaziphakamisi abahlubukayo.

⁸Bongani uBaba wethu, nina nonke bezizwe; akuzwakale umsindo wokudunyiswa kwakhe, ⁹osigcine siphakathi kwabaphilayo, ongavumelanga ukuba izinyawo zethu zishelele. ¹⁰Ngokuba wena, Baba wethu, ususivivinyile; ususicwengile njengesiliva sicwengwa. ¹¹Wasingenisa enethini; wabeka umthwalo osindayo emihlane yethu. ¹²Wavumela abantu ukuba bagibele emakhanda ethu; sadabula emlilweni nasemanzini, kodwa wasikhiphela endaweni enenala. ^a a v12 “Ukugibela emakhanda ethu” kungumusho wasendulo ochaza ukubuswa nokucindezelwa ngokuphelele.
