Mapisarema 27:1-5

Jehovha ndiye chiedza changu noruponeso rwangu,
ndichagotya aniko?
Jehovha ndiye nhare youpenyu hwangu,
ndianiko wandingatya?

Vanhu vakaipa pavakauya kwandiri
kuzodya nyama yangu,
vavengi navadzivisi vangu pavanondirwisa,
vanogumburwa ndokuwa.
Kunyange hondo ikandikomba,
mwoyo wangu haungazotyi;
kunyange hondo ikamuka kuzondirwisa,
ipapo ndichavimba naJehovha.

Chinhu chimwe chete chandinokumbira kuna Jehovha,
ndicho chandinotsvaka:
kuti ndigare mumba maJehovha
mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu,
kuti nditarire kunaka kwaJehovha
uye ndimutsvake mutemberi yake.
Nokuti zuva rokutambudzika
achandichengeta zvakanaka munzvimbo yaanogara;
achandiviga mudumba retabhenakeri yake,
agondikwidza pamusoro pedombo.
