¹Mwari anomira paungano yaMwari; Anotonga pakati pavamwari.

²How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

²Muchatonga zvisina kururama kusvikira rinhiko, Muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa?

³Tongerai mhaka dzavarombo nenherera; Ruramisirai vanotambudzika navanoshaiwa chose.

⁴Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

⁴Sunungurai varombo navashaiwi Varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

⁵They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

⁵Havazivi, havanzwisisi; Vanofamba-famba murima; Nheyo dzose dzapasi dzinozununguka.

⁶I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

⁶Ndakati, Muri vamwari, Mose muri vanakomana veWekumusoro-soro.

⁷But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

⁷Kunyange zvakadaro muchafa savanhu, Muchafa somumwe wamachinda.

⁸Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

⁸Simukai Mwari, mutongere pasi; nekuti ndudzi dzose dzichava nhaka yenyu.
