Pisarema 144:1-15
Rwiyo rwaDhavhidhi.
144 Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, iye Dombo rangu,+Iye anodzidzisa maoko angu kurwa,+Uye minwe yangu hondo;
2 Ndiye mutsa wangu worudo nenhare yangu,+Nzvimbo yangu yakakwirira yakachengeteka noMupukunyutsi wangu,+Nhoo+ yangu noMunhu wandakapotera kwaari,+Iye anokunda marudzi achiaisa pasi pangu.+
3 Haiwa Jehovha, munhu chiiko zvamuine hanya naye,+Iye mwanakomana womunhuwo zvake+ zvamunomufunga?
4 Munhu akafanana nemhepowo zvayo inofemwa;+Mazuva ake akafanana nomumvuri unopfuura.+
5 Haiwa Jehovha, rerekai matenga enyu kuti muburuke;+Batai makomo kuti apfungaire.+
6 Vhenekai nemheni kuti muvaparadzire;+Budisai miseve yenyu kuti muvavhiringidze.+
7 Tambanudzai maoko enyu muri kumusoro;+Ndisunungurei mundinunure pamvura zhinji,+Paruoko rwevokune imwe nyika,+
8 Vane miromo yakataura zvinhu zvisiri zvechokwadi+Vane maoko orudyi ari maoko orudyi enhema.+
9 Haiwa Mwari, ndichakuimbirai rwiyo rutsva.+Ndichakuimbirai nechiridzwa chine tambo gumi,+
10 Iye anopa madzimambo ruponeso,+Iye akasunungura mushumiri wake Dhavhidhi pabakatwa rinokuvadza.+
11 Ndisunungurei mundinunure muruoko rwevokune imwe nyika,+Vane miromo yakataura zvinhu zvisiri zvechokwadi+Uye vane maoko orudyi ari maoko orudyi enhema,+
12 Vanoti: “Vanakomana vedu vakaita semiti miduku yatokura ivo vachiri vaduku,+Vanasikana vedu vakaita semabwe epakona akavezwa sezvinoitwa epamuzinda,
13 Matura edu akazara, ane zvinhu zvemarudzi ose,+Makwai edu ari kuwedzera nezviuru, rimwe chete richibereka zviuru gumi, kunze.
14 Mombe dzedu dzine mazamu, pasina inotsemuka uye inosvodza,+Uye pasina kushevedzera munzvimbo dzedu dzinoungana vanhu.+
15 Vanofara vanhu vanoitirwa saizvozvo!”Vanofara vanhu avo Mwari wavo ari Jehovha!+
