1 Munhu asina ukama navamwe anongozvitsvakira zvake;
2 Benzi harifariri kunzwisisa,
3 Panosvika chakaipa, kuzvidzwa kunouyawo,
4 Mashoko omuromo womunhu imvura yakadzika,
5 Hazvina kunaka kutsaura akaipa
6 Miromo yebenzi inoriunzira kukakavara,
7 Muromo webenzi ndiwo kuparadzwa kwaro,
8 Mashoko amakuhwa akaita semisuva yakanakisisa;
9 Uyo ano usimbe pakubata kwake
10 Zita raJehovha inhare yakasimba;
11 Pfuma yavapfumi ndiro guta ravo rina masvingo;
12 Kuparadzwa kusati kwasvika, mwoyo womunhu unozvikudza,
13 Uyo anopindura asati anzwa,
14 Mweya womunhu unomusimbisa panguva yokurwara,
15 Mwoyo woune njere unowana ruzivo,
16 Chipo chinozarurira nzira kune achipa,
17 Anotanga kusvitsa nyaya yake anoita seakanaka,
18 Kukanda mijenya kunopedza gakava,
19 Hama yatadzirwa yakavangarara kupfuura guta rakakomberedzwa namasvingo,
20 Kubva pazvibereko zvomuromo wake dumbu romunhu rinogutiswa;
21 Rurimi rune simba roupenyu norufu,
22 Uyo anowana mudzimai anowana chinhu chakanaka,
23 Murombo anokumbira kuitirwa tsitsi,
24 Munhu ane shamwari dzakawanda angangoparadzwa,
