Mapisarema 18:1-15

Ndinokudai, imi Jehovha, simba rangu. Jehovha ndiye dombo rangu, nhare yangu, murwiri wangu; Mwari wangu ndiye dombo rangu, wandinovanda maari. Ndiye nhoo yangu norunyanga rworuponeso rwangu, shongwe yangu. Ndinodana kuna Jehovha, iye akafanira kurumbidzwa, uye ndinoponeswa kubva kuvavengi vangu. Mabote orufu akandipinganidza; mvura zhinji inoparadza yakandifukidza. Mabote eguva akandimonera; misungo yorufu yakanangana neni. Pakutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha; ndakadana kuna Mwari wangu kuti ndibatsirwe. Akanzwa inzwi rangu ari mutemberi yake; kuchema kwangu kwakasvika pamberi pake munzeve dzake. Nyika yakadedera ikadengenyeka, uye nheyo dzamakomo dzakazunguzika; Utsi hwakakwira huchibva mumhino dzake; moto unoparadza wakabuda mumuromo make, mazimbe anopisa akabuda mauri achipfuta. Akatsemura matenga akauya pasi; makore erima akanga ari pasi petsoka dzake. Akatasva makerubhi akabhururuka; akabhururuka pamapapiro emhepo. Akaita rima chifukidzo chake, denga rake rakamupoteredza, iwo makore matema emvura okudenga. Nokupenya kwaibva pamberi pake, makore akabuda akafamba, nechimvuramabwe nokupenya kwemheni. Jehovha akatinhira kudenga; inzwi roWokumusoro-soro rikanzwika. Akapfura miseve yake akaparadzira vavengi vake, kupenya kukuru kwemheni kukavavhundutsa. Mipata yegungwa yakaiswa pachena, uye nheyo dzenyika dzakaiswa pachena pakutuka kwenyu, imi Jehovha, nokufema kwemhino dzenyu.
