1 Ee Mwenyezi Mlungu, mbona ukaima kure?
2 Atu ayi anagayisa achiya bila kujali
3 Atu ayi anadzilika kpwa mambo mai anagopanga kugahenda
4 Atu ayi taamuendza Mwenyezi Mlungu, kpwa kukala anadzikarya,
5 Aho nkuongokerwa na chila ahendaro
6 Nkudziambira mwao mioyoni, “Sindashindwa ngʼo.
7 Miromo yao i tele lana, handzo na vitisho.
8 Nkudzifwitsa phephi na vidzidzi
9 Nkudzifwitsa na kumuoteya dza simba.
10 Anyonje nkugbwirwa akatiswa-tiswa
11 Mui nkudziambira mwakpwe rohoni, “Mlungu akayala
12 Unuka uwe Mwenyezi Mlungu, unula mkpwonoo uwe Mlungu.
13 Ee Mlungu, kpwa utu wani mutu mui anakubera,
14 Ela uwe unaona yo ziki na yo shida anayosababisha,
15 Bananga mkpwotse wa mutu mui,
16 Mwenyezi Mlungu ni mfalume hata kare na kare,
17 Ee Mwenyezi Mlungu undaphundza mavoyo ga anyenyekevu,
18 uahendere haki anachiya na anaoonerwa,
