¹Inzwai mashoko angu Jehovha,Rangarirai kufunga komoyo wangu.

¹To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.` — A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

²teererai inzwi rokuchema kwangu, imwi Mambo wangu naMwari wangu; nekuti ndinonyengetera kwamuri.

²Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

³Jehovha, muchanzwa inzwi rangu mangwanani;Mangwanani ndichakurongedzerai munyengetero wangu,ndichirindira.

³Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

⁴Nekuti hamuzi Mwari anofarira zvakaipa, munhu, akashata, haangagari nemi.

⁴For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.

⁵Munhu anozvikudza haangamiriri pamberi penyu; Munovenga vose vanoita zvakaipa.

⁵The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

⁶Muchaparadza anoreva nhema; Jehovha anosema munhu anoteura ropa neanonyengera.

⁶Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.

⁷Asi kana ndirini, ndichapinda mumba menyu nekuwanda kwevunyoro bwenyu, Ndichanamata ndakaringira kutemberi yenyu tsvene ndichikutyai.

⁷And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.

⁸Ndifambisei, Jehovha, mukururama kwenyu nekuda kwavavengi vangu; Gadzirai nzira yenyu pamberi pangu.

⁸O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

⁹Nekuti hapana kutendeka pamiromo yavo; Mukati mavo makashata-shata; huro dzavo guva rakashama; Vanobata kumeso nerurimi rwavo.

⁹For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

¹⁰Muvapei, mhosva, Jehovha ngavawe namano avo;Nokuti vakakumukirai.

¹⁰Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

¹¹Asi vose vanovimba nemwi ngavafare, Ngavadanidzire nomufaro nguva dzose,nokuti imwi munovadzitira; Vose vanoda zita renyu ngavafare nemi.

¹¹And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.

¹²Nekuti mucharopafadza akarurama; imwi Jehovha, muchamukomberedza nenyasha senhovo.

¹²For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
