¹Dai Jehovha asaiva nesu, Isiraeri ngavadaro;

¹A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

²Dai Jehovha asaiva nesu, Panguva yatakamukirwa navanhu;

²Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

³Vangadai vakatimedza tiri vapenyu, Panguva yatakamukirwa nehasha dzavo;

³Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

⁴Mvura zhinji ingadai yakatifukidza, Rwizi rungadai rwakapfuura napamusoro pomweya wedu.

⁴Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

⁵Mvura zhinji, inozvikudza, ingadai yakapfuura napamusoro pomweya wedu.

⁵Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

⁶Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, Iye asina kutiisa kuti tiparadzwe nameno avo.

⁶Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

⁷Mweya wedu wapukunyuka seshiri parugombe rwomuteyi weshiri; Rugombe rwadambuka, isu tapukunyuka.

⁷Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

⁸Kubatsirwa kwedu kuri muzita raJehovha, Akaita kudenga napasi.

⁸Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
