1 Nditongerei, imi Jehovha,
2 Ndiedzei, imi Jehovha, ndinzverei,
3 nokuti rudo rwenyu rwuri pamberi pangu nguva dzose,
4 Handigari navanhu vanonyengera,
5 ndinovenga ungano yavaiti vezvakaipa,
6 Ndinoshamba maoko angu ndisina mhaka,
7 ndichiparidza rumbidzo yenyu nenzwi guru,
8 Ndinoda imba yamunogara, imi Jehovha,
9 Regai kubatanidza mweya wangu navatadzi,
10 vana maoko akabata zvakaipa,
11 Asi ini ndinogara upenyu husina chahungapomerwa;
12 Tsoka dzangu dzimire pakati chechetere;
