Usava neshungu nokuda kwavanoita zvakaipa,
Usagodora vanoita zvisina kururama.
Nokuti vachakurumidza kudzurwa souswa,
Vachaoma semuriwo mutema.
Vimba naJehovha, uite zvakanaka;
Gara panyika, ushingairire kutendeka.
Farikana kwazvo kuna Jehovha;
Iye agokupa zvinodikanwa nomwoyo wako.
Isa nzira yako kuna Jehovha;
Vimbawo naye, iye achazviita.
Iye achabudisa kururama kwako sechiedza,
Nokururamisirwa kwako samasikati.
Nyarara pamberi paJehovha, umurindire unyerere;
Usava neshungu pamusoro poanofara panzira yake,
Pamusoro pomunhu anoita mano akaipa aakafunga.
Rega kutsamwa, urashe hasha;
Usava neshungu, zvinongotadzisa munhu.
Nokuti vanoita zvakaipa vachagurwa;
Asi vanorindira Jehovha vachagara nhaka yenyika.
Kwasara chinguva chiduku, akaipa
haachazovipo;
Zvirokwazvo, iwe uchacherekedza zvakanaka
paaigara, asi haachazovipo.
Asi vanyoro ndivo vachagara nhaka yenyika;
Ndivo vachafarikana kwazvo norugare rukuru.
Akaipa anofungira akarurama mano akaipa,
Anomurumanyira meno ake.
Ishe achamuseka;
Nokuti anoona kuti zuva rake rinouya.
Vakaipa vakavhomora munondo,
vakawembura uta hwavo;
Kuti vawisire pasi varombo navanoshaiwa,
Kuti vauraya vakarurama panzira;
Munondo wavo uchapinda pamwoyo yavo imene,
Uye uta hwavo huchavhuniwa.
Zvishoma, zvakanaka,
zvowakarurama zvinopfuura
Zvakawanda zvavakaipa vazhinji.
Nokuti maoko avakaipa achavhuniwa;
Asi Jehovha anotsigira vakarurama.
Jehovha anoziva mazuva avane mwoyo yakarurama;
Nhaka yavo ndeyokusingaperi.
Havanganyadziswi nenguva yokuipa;
Pamisi yenzara vachagutiswa.
Asi vakaipa vachaparara,
Uye vavengi vaJehovha vachafanana
nokunaka kwamafuro;
Vacharova; vacharova soutsi.
Akaipa anokwereta, asingaripizve;
Asi akarurama ane ngoni, anopa.
Nokuti vanokomborerwa naye
vachagara nhaka yenyika;
Asi vanotukwa naye vachaparadzwa.
Mufambiro womunhu unosimbiswa naJehovha;
Unofarikana munzira yake.
Kunyange akawa, haangawiswi chose;
Nokuti Jehovha anomutsigira noruoko rwake.
Ndakanga ndiri muduku, zvino ndakwegura;
Kunyange zvakadaro handina kutongoona akarurama
achisiyiwa,
Kana vana vake vachipemha zvokudya.
Zuva rose anoramba ane ngoni, achiposa;
Vana vake vanokomborerwa.
Ibva pane zvakaipa, uite zvakanaka;
Ugare zvakanaka nokusingaperi.
Nokuti Jehovha anoda zvakarurama,
Haasiyi vatsvene vake;
Vanochengetwa nokusingaperi;
Asi vana vowakaipa vachaparadzwa.
Vakarurama vachagara nhaka yenyika,
Vachagaramo nokusingaperi.
Muromo wowakarurama unotaura zvenjere,
Rurimi rwake runotaura zvakarurama.
Murayiro waMwari wake uri mumwoyo make;
Pakutsika kwake haangatongotedzemuki.
Akaipa anovandira akarurama,
Achitsvaka kumuuraya.
Jehovha haangamuregeri muruoko rwake,
Kana kumupa mhosva kana atongwa.
Rindira Jehovha, urambire panzira yake,
Iye achakukudza kuti ugare nhaka yenyika;
Kana vakaipa vachiparadzwa iwe uchazviona.
Ndakaona akaipa anesimba guru,
Achitandavara somuti munyoro panyika yawo.
Zvino mumwe akapfuurazve,
wanei haachipo;
Ndakamutsvaka, asi akanga asichawanikwi.
Cherekedzai munhu akakwana,
mutarire akarurama;
Nokuti kuguma kwomunhu uyo rugare.
Kana vari vadariki, vachaparadzwa pamwechete;
Pakuguma kwavo vakaipa vachaparadzwa.
Asi kuponeswa kwavakarurama kunobva kuna Jehovha;
Ndiye nhare yavo panguva yokutambudzika.
Jehovha anovabatsira, nokuvarwira;
Anovarwira kuna vakaipa, nokuvaponesa,
Nokuti vakandovanda maari.
