1Ko, unozvikudzirei pane zvakaipa, iwe murume wesimba?

Unozvikudzirei zuva rose,

iyewe unonyadzisa pamberi paMwari?

2Rurimi rwako runofarira zvokuparadza;

rwakaita sechisvo chakarodzwa,

iyewe unogara uchingonyengera.

3Unoda zvakaipa pachinzvimbo chezvakanaka,

kureva nhema pachinzvimbo chokutaura chokwadi. Sera

4Unoda shoko rimwe nerimwe rinoparadza,

iwe rurimi runonyengera!

5Zvirokwazvo Mwari achakuburutsira kukuparadzwa kusingaperi:

Achakubvuta agokubvisa mutende rako;

achakudzura kubva munyika yavapenyu. Sera

6Vakarurama vachazviona uye vachatya;

vachamuseka vachiti,

7“Houno zvino munhu asina kuita Mwari nhare yake,

asi aivimba nepfuma yake zhinji,

uye aisimba nokuparadza vamwe!”

8Asi ini ndakaita somuti

womuorivhi unokura zvakanaka mumba maMwari;

ndinovimba norudo rusingaperi rwaMwari,

nokusingaperi-peri.

9Ndichakurumbidzai, nokusingaperi nokuda kwezvamakaita;

ndichavimba nezita renyu, nokuti zita renyu rakanaka.

Ndichakurumbidzai pamberi pavatsvene venyu.
