- O Lord our God, bestower of the blessings of the Swazi;
- We give Thee thanks for all our good fortune;
- We offer thanks and praise for our King
- And for our fair land, its hills and rivers.
- Thy blessings be on all rulers of our Country;
- Thine alone is our Lord;
- We pray Thee to grant us wisdom without deceit or malice.
- Establish and fortify us, Lord Eternal.
