Pisarema raDhavhidhi.
1 Jehovha ndiye chiedza changu noruponeso rwangu,
ndichagotya aniko?
Jehovha ndiye nhare youpenyu hwangu,
ndianiko wandingatya?
2 Vanhu vakaipa pavakauya kwandiri
kuzodya nyama yangu,
vavengi navadzivisi vangu pavanondirwisa,
vanogumburwa ndokuwa.
3 Kunyange hondo ikandikomba,
mwoyo wangu haungazotyi;
kunyange hondo ikamuka kuzondirwisa,
ipapo ndichavimba naJehovha.
4 Chinhu chimwe chete chandinokumbira kuna Jehovha,
ndicho chandinotsvaka:
kuti ndigare mumba maJehovha
mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu,
kuti nditarire kunaka kwaJehovha
uye ndimutsvake mutemberi yake.
5 Nokuti zuva rokutambudzika
achandichengeta zvakanaka munzvimbo yaanogara;
achandiviga mudumba retabhenakeri yake,
agondikwidza pamusoro pedombo.
6 Ipapo musoro wangu uchasimudzirwa
pamusoro pavavengi vakandipoteredza;
ndichamubayira zvibayiro patabhenakeri yake nomufaro mukuru;
ndichaimba ndigoimbira Jehovha nziyo.
7 Inzwai inzwi rangu kana ndichidana, imi Jehovha;
ndinzwirei ngoni mugondipindura.
8 Mwoyo wangu unoti kwandiri, “Tsvaka chiso chake!”
Chiso chenyu, Jehovha, ndichachitsvaka.
9 Regai kundivanzira chiso chenyu,
musadzinga muranda wenyu mukutsamwa;
makanga muri mubatsiri wangu.
Regai kundiramba kana kundisiya,
imi Mwari Muponesi wangu.
10 Kunyange baba vangu namai vangu vakandisiya,
Jehovha achandigamuchira.
11 Ndidzidzisei nzira yenyu, imi Jehovha;
ndisesedzei munzira yakarurama
nokuda kwavamanikidzi vangu.
12 Regai kundisundira kuzvido zvavavengi vangu,
nokuti zvapupu zvenhema zvinondimukira,
vachifemedzeka nehasha.
13 Ndichine chokwadi neizvi zvokuti:
ndichaona kunaka kwaJehovha
munyika yavapenyu.
14 Rindira Jehovha;
iva nesimba,
utsunge mwoyo ugomirira Jehovha.
