1 Mlungu wangu, Mlungu wangu, mbona ukaniricha?
2 Nkukuiha mutsi, Mlungu wangu, ela kunijibu;
3 Ela uwe ndiwe Mtakatifu, usagariraye chihi cha endzi,
4 Akare ehu akukuluphira,
5 Akuririra uwe, nao achitivywa;
6 Ela atu nkuniona dza mnyololo,
7 Atu osi anionao, nkunizemerera;
8 Aho nkuamba, “Wamkuluphira Mwenyezi Mlungu,
9 Uwe ndiwe uriyenituluza kula ndanini mwa mayo,
10 Nkakala mikononi mwako hangu nivyalwe,
11 Usikale kure nami,
12 Maadui manji gakanizunguluka dza ndzau,
13 Maadui gangu gakafwenula kanwa zao chinyume changu,
14 Mwiri wangu ukasirirwa ni nguvu,
15 Umiro wangu ukauma dza chidzaya
16 Kundi ra atu ayi rikanizunguluka;
17 Nkasala mifupha mihuphu,
18 Anaganya nguwo zangu,
19 Ela uwe Mwenyezi Mlungu, usikale kure nami;
20 Nikombola sedze nikaolagbwa na upanga;
21 Uniokole kanwani mwa simba;
22 Nindatangaza dzinaro kpwa enehu,
23 Mwimwi munaogopha Mwenyezi Mlungu, mtogoleni!
24 Iye kayakpwinya agayi, wala kayabera kugaya kpwao;
25 Nindakutogola kpwenye mkpwutano mkpwulu.
26 Agayi andarya kumvuna.
27 Atu a dunia ndzima
28 Mana Mwenyezi Mlungu ni mfalume,
29 Matajiri osi duniani andaabudu mbereze,
30 Vivyazi vyedzavyo vindamhumikira,
31 Atu ambao taadzangbwevyalwa, andatangazirwa
