1 Munyengetero wamuprofita Habhakuki unoimbwa neshigionoti.
2 Jehovha, ndakanzwa zvomukurumbira wenyu;
3 Mwari akabva kuTemani,
4 Kubwinya kwake kwakaita sokubuda kwezuva;
5 Hosha yakaenda ichibva pamberi pake;
6 Akamira, akazungunusa nyika;
7 Ndakaona matende eKushani ari panhamo,
8 Ko, makanga matsamwira nzizi here, nhai Jehovha?
9 Makabudisa pachena uta hwenyu,
10 makomo akakuonai akadedera.
11 Zuva nomwedzi zvakambomira kumatenga
12 Mukutsamwa kwenyu makapfuura napanyika
13 Makauya kuzonunura vanhu venyu,
14 Nepfumo rake chairo makabaya musoro wake,
15 Makatsika-tsika gungwa namabhiza enyu,
16 Ndakazvinzwa, hana yangu ikarova,
17 Kunyange dai muonde ukasatunga maruva,
18 kunyange zvakadaro, ndichafara muna Jehovha,
19 Ishe Jehovha ndiye simba rangu;
