1 Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari anondiponesa,
2 Munyengetero wangu ngausvike pamberi penyu;
3 Nokuti mweya wangu uzere nokutambudzika,
4 Ndinoverengwa pakati paavo vakaburukira kugomba;
5 Ndakatsaurwa pamwe chete navakafa,
6 Makandiisa mugomba rakadzika dzika,
7 Hasha dzenyu dzinorema kwazvo pamusoro pangu,
8 Makanditorera shamwari dzangu dzapedyo,
9 meso angu asviba neshungu.
10 Ko, munoratidza zvishamiso zvenyu kuna vakafa here?
11 Ko, rudo rwenyu runoparidzwa muguva,
12 Ko, zvishamiso zvenyu zvinozivikanwa munzvimbo yerima,
13 Asi ndinochemera rubatsiro kwamuri, imi Jehovha;
14 Seiko, imi Jehovha, muchindiramba
15 Kubvira pauduku hwangu, ndakatambudzika zvokutosvika pedyo norufu;
16 Hasha dzenyu dzakapfuura napamusoro pangu;
17 Zuva rose zvakandipoteredza samafashamu;
18 Makanditorera shamwari dzangu navadikani vangu;
