¹Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

¹Zvirokwazvo, mweya wangu unongorindira Mwari; Kwaari ndiko kunobva kuponeswa kwangu.

²He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

²Ndiye oga dombo rangu nomuponesi wangu; Ndiye shongwe yangu yakakwirira; handingazununguswi zvikuru.

³How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

³Muchavavarira munhu kusvikira rinhiko, Kuti mumuuraye imwi mose, Sorusvingo runoda kuwa, noruzhowa runotsveyama?

⁴They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

⁴Vanongorangana kuti vamusundire pasi abve paukuru hwake; Vanofarira nhema; Vanoropafadza nomuromo wavo, asi vanotuka mumoyo mavo.

⁵My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

⁵Mweya wangu, rindira Mwari zvirokwazvo nekuti ndinomutarira iye.

⁶He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

⁶Ndiye oga dombo rangu noruponeso rwangu; Ndiye shongwe yangu yakakwirira; handingazununguswi.

⁷In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

⁷Kuna Mwari ndiko kunokuponeswa kwangu nokukudzwa kwangu; Dombo resimba rangu noutiziro hwangu zviri kuna Mwari.

⁸Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

⁸Vimbai naye nguva dzose, imwi vanhu; Dururai moyo yenyu pamberi pake; Mwari ndiye utiziro bwedu.

⁹Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

⁹Zvirokwazvo vanhu vasingakudzwi mweya chete, uye vanhu vanokudzwa inhema; Pakuyerwa havaremi; Vose pamwechete vakareruka kupfuura mweya.

¹⁰Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

¹⁰Regai kuvimba nokumanikidza, Regai kuzvikudza pamusoro pokupambara; Kana fuma ichiwanda, regai kuinamatira nomoyo.

¹¹God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

¹¹Mwari akataura kamwechete, Ndakazvinzwa kaviri; Kuti simba nderaMwari;

¹²Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

¹²Netsitsiwo ndedzenyu, Ishe; nekuti munoitira munhu mumwe nomumwe sezvaakabata.
