2 Ndiye Mwari anondida uye nhare yangu,

nenhoo yangu uye ndinovanda maari,
iye anoisa marudzi pasi pangu.
3 Haiwa Jehovha, munhu chiiko zvamune hanya naye?
Kana mwanakomana womunhu zvamunomufunga?
4 Munhu akafanana nomweya wokufema;
mazuva ake akaita somumvuri unopfuura.
5 Zarurai matenga enyu, imi Jehovha, uye muburuke;
batai makomo, kuti apfungaire utsi.
6 Tumirai mheni mugoparadzira vavengi;

7 Tambanudzai ruoko rwenyu kubva kumusoro;

kubva pamvura zhinji ine simba,

9 Haiwa Mwari, ndichakuimbirai rwiyo rutsva;

11 Ndirwirei uye mundinunure

12 Ipapo vanakomana vedu pauduku
hwavo vachava semiti yakakura zvakanaka,
uye vanasikana vedu vachava sembiru dzakavezwa
kuti dzishongedze muzinda wamambo.
13 Matura edu achazadzwa

Makwai edu achawanda nezviuru,

14 nzombe dzedu dzichatakura mitoro inorema.
Hapachazova nokuputswa kwamasvingo,

hapachazova nokuchema nenhamo, munzira dzedu dzomumisha.
15 Vakaropafadzwa vanhu avo vachaitirwa saizvozvi;
vakaropafadzwa vanhu avo vana Jehovha Mwari wavo.
