Mwari wangu, Mwari wangu, mandisiyireiko?
Sei muri kure zvakadai nokundiponesa,
kure zvakadai namashoko okugomera kwangu?
Haiwa Mwari wangu, ndinodanidzira masikati,
asi hamundipinduri, nousiku, uye handinyarari.
Asi imi makagadzwa saIye Mutsvene;
ndimi rumbidzo yaIsraeri.
Madzibaba edu akavimba nemi;
vakavimba, uye mukavarwira.
Vakachema kwamuri, vakaponeswa;
vakavimba nemi uye havana kunyadziswa.
Asi ini ndiri honye kwete munhu,
ndinozvidzwa navanhu uye ndinoshorwa namarudzi.
Vose vanondiona vanondiseka;
vanoshamisa miromo yavo vachindituka, vachidzungudza misoro yavo vachiti,
“Anovimba naJehovha;
Jehovha ngaamununure.
Ngaamuponese,
sezvo achimufarira.”
Asi ndimi makandibudisa mudumbu;
mukaita kuti ndivimbe nemi
ndichiri pachipfuva chamai vangu.
Kubva pakuzvarwa kwangu, ndakaiswa kwamuri;
kubva mudumbu ramai vangu, makanga muchingova Mwari wangu.
Regai kuva kure neni,
nokuti dambudziko riri pedyo
uye hakuna angabatsira.
Hando zhinji dzakandikomba;
hando dzine simba dzeBhashani dzakandipoteredza.
Shumba dzinoomba dzichibvambura nyama,
dzinondishamira miromo yadzo.
Ndadururwa semvura,
uye mapfupa angu ose abva asvodogoka.
Mwoyo wangu washanduka ukava namo;
wanyungudika mukati mangu.
Simba rangu raoma sechaenga,
uye rurimi rwangu runonamatira kumusoro kwomuromo wangu;
munondiradzika muguruva rorufu.
Imbwa dzakandikomba;
boka ravanhu vakaipa rakandipoteredza,
vakabvoora maoko angu netsoka dzangu.
Ndinokwanisa kuverenga mapfupa angu ose;
vanhu vanondinanʼanidza uye vanofarira kutambudzika kwangu.
Vanogovana nguo dzangu pakati pavo
uye vanokanda mijenya nokuda kwenguo yangu.
Asi imi, Jehovha, regai kuva kure neni;
imi simba rangu, kurumidzai kundibatsira.
Rwirai upenyu hwangu pamunondo,
ihwo upenyu hwangu hunokosha, kubva pasimba rembwa.
Ndinunurei pamuromo weshumba;
ndiponesei panyanga dzenyati.
