Rwiyo rwaDhavhidhi.
143 Haiwa Jehovha, inzwai munyengetero wangu;+Teererai kuteterera kwangu.+Ndipindurei nokutendeka mukururama kwenyu.+
2 Musatonga mushumiri wenyu;+Nokuti hapana munhu mupenyu angava akarurama pamberi penyu.+
3 Nokuti muvengi akatevera mweya wangu;+Akapwanyira upenyu hwangu pasi.+Akaita kuti ndigare munzvimbo dzine rima sevaya vakafa kare kare.+
4 Simba+ rangu rinopera mukati mangu;Mwoyo wangu wakarukutika mukati mangu.+
5 Ndakayeuka mazuva ekare kare;+Ndakafungisisa mabasa enyu ose;+Ndakaramba ndichifunga nezvebasa remaoko enyu ndiine chido.+
6 Ndakatambanudzira maoko angu kwamuri;+Kwamuri mweya wangu wakaita senyika yafa nenyota.+ Sera.
7 Haiwa, kurumidzai, ndipindurei, haiwa Jehovha.+Simba rangu rapera.+Musandivanzira chiso chenyu,+Nokuti ndingafanana nevaya vanoburukira mugomba.+
8 Itai kuti ndinzwe mutsa wenyu worudo mangwanani,+Nokuti ndinovimba nemi.+Ndizivisei nzira yandinofanira kufamba nayo,+Nokuti ndakasimudzira mweya wangu kwamuri.+
9 Ndinunurei pavavengi vangu, haiwa Jehovha.+Ndakatovanda nemi.+
10 Ndidzidzisei kuita kuda kwenyu,+Nokuti ndimi Mwari wangu.+Mudzimu wenyu wakanaka;+Ngaunditungamirire munyika yokururama.+
11 Ndichengetedzei ndiri mupenyu,+ haiwa Jehovha, nokuda kwezita renyu.+Budisai mweya wangu mukutambudzika+ nokururama kwenyu.+
12 Mumutsa wenyu worudo, itai kuti vavengi vangu vanyarare;+Paradzai vose vaya vanovenga mweya wangu,+Nokuti ndiri mushumiri wenyu.+
