26 Kunyange zvakadaro, pandakanga ndakarindira zvakanaka, zvakaipa zvakasvika;

pandakatarisira chiedza, ipapo rima rakasvika.

27 Kumonyoroka kwoura hwangu hakumbomiri;

mazuva okutambudzika anondivinga.

28 Ndinodzungaira ndichisvibiswa, asi kwete nezuva;

ndinosimuka pakati peungano ndichichemera rubatsiro.

29 Ndava hama yamakava,

neshamwari yamazizi.

30 Ganda rangu riri kusviba uye riri kufunuka;

muviri wangu unopisa nefivha.

31 Mbira dzangu dzava kungoridza nziyo dzokuchema,

uye nyere yangu nziyo dzokuungudza.
