Mapisarema 55:1-14

Rerekerai nzeve yenyu kumunyengetero wangu, imi Mwari; regai kushaya hanya nokukumbira kwangu; ndinzwei, uye ndipindureiwo. Pfungwa dzangu dzinondinetsa uye ndiri kushushikana, pandinonzwa inzwi romuvengi wangu, pandinodzvokorwa navakaipa; nokuti vanodururira matambudziko pamusoro pangu, uye vanondituka mukutsamwa kwavo. Mwoyo wangu unorwadziwa mukati mangu; kutyisa kworufu kunondiwira. Kutya nokudedera zvakandibata; kutya kukuru kwakandifukidza. Ini ndakati, “Haiwa, dai ndina mapapiro enjiva! Ndaibhururukira kure ndikandozorora hangu, ndaitizira kure kwazvo, ndikandogara mugwenga; Sera ndaikurumidza kundovanda panzvimbo yangu, kure nemafungu nedutu.” Nyonganisai vakaipa, imi Ishe, kanganisai mutauro wavo, nokuti ndinoona mhirizhonga nokurwa muguta. Masikati nousiku vanopoterera masvingo aro chinyararire; utsinye nokumanikidza zviri mukati maro. Masimba okuparadza azere muguta; kutyisidzira nenhema hazvibvi munzira dzaro. Dai ndatukwa nomuvengi, ndaigona kushinga hangu; dai muvengi aindimukira, ndaigona kumuvanda hangu. Asi ndiwe, munhu akaita seni, mumwe wangu, shamwari yangu yapedyo, yandaimbofarira kuwadzana nayo pataifamba navazhinji mumba maMwari.
