1 Pazuva iro muchati, “Ndichakurumbidzai, imi Jehovha, kunyange makanga makanditsamwira, kutsamwa kwenyu kwakadzorwa uye makandinyaradza.
Ngalolosuku wena uzakuthi: “Ngizakubonga Oh Thixo. Lanxa wawungithukuthelele ulaka lwakho seluphelile, njalo usungiduduzile.
2 Zvirokwazvo Mwari ndiye ruponeso rwangu; ndichavimba naye uye handingatyi. Jehovha, Jehovha ndiye simba rangu nerwiyo rwangu; ava ruponeso rwangu.”
Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu uyinsindiso yami; ngizathemba ngingesabi. UThixo, uThixo ngokwakhe ungamandla lengoma yami; usebe yinsindiso yami.”
3 Nomufaro muchachera mvura kubva mumatsime oruponeso.
Ngentokozo uzakukha amanzi emithonjeni yensindiso.
4 Pazuva iro muchati, “Vongai Jehovha, danai kuzita rake; zivisai zvaakaita pakati pendudzi, uye muparidze kuti zita rake risimudzirwe.
Ngalolosuku uzakuthi: “Mbongeni uThixo, bizani ibizo lakhe, zaziseni izizwe ngalokhu akwenzileyo, limemezele ukuthi ibizo lakhe liphakeme.
5 Imbirai Jehovha, nokuti akaita zvinhu zvinoshamisa; izvi ngazvizivikanwe pasi pose.
Hlabelelani kuThixo, ngoba wenze izinto ezinhle kakhulu; lokhu kwenzeni kwazakale emhlabeni wonke.
6 Pururudzai uye muimbe nomufaro, imi vanhu veZioni, nokuti Mutsvene waIsraeri mukuru pakati penyu.”
Memezani kakhulu lihlabele ngokuthokoza, bantu baseZiyoni, ngoba mkhulu oNgcwele ka-Israyeli phakathi kwenu.”
