1 Munhu akaipa anotiza kusina anomudzinganisa,
2 Kana nyika ikapanduka, inova navatungamiri vakawanda,
3 Mutongi anomanikidza varombo
4 Avo vanorasa murayiro vanorumbidza vakaipa,
5 Vanhu vakaipa havanzwisisi kururamisira,
6 Zviri nani kuva murombo ane mafambiro akarurama
7 Uyo anochengeta murayiro mwanakomana akachenjera,
8 Uyo anowedzera pfuma yake nokutengesa nomutengo uri pamusoro-soro,
9 Kana munhu akaramba kunzwa murayiro nenzeve dzake,
10 Uyo anotungamirira vakarurama panzira yakaipa,
11 Munhu akapfuma angazviti akachenjera pakuona kwake,
12 Kana vakarurama vachikunda, kune mufaro mukuru;
13 Uyo anofukidzira zvivi zvake haabudiriri,
14 Akaropafadzwa munhu anogara achitya Jehovha,
15 Seshumba inoomba, kana bere rinodzingirira,
16 Mutongi anoshusha haana njere,
17 Munhu anoshushikana nemhosva yake yokuuraya,
18 Uyo ano mufambiro wakarurama anogara akachengetedzeka,
19 Uyo anorima munda wake achava nezvokudya zvakawanda,
20 Munhu akatendeka acharopafadzwa zvikuru,
21 Kuita rusarura hakuna kunaka,
22 Munhu anonyima ane shungu dzokuda kupfuma
23 Uyo anotsiura munhu iye achawana nyasha dzakawanda pakupedzisira,
24 Uyo anobira baba kana mai vake
25 Munhu ane ruchiva anomutsa kupesana,
26 Uyo anovimba nesimba rake ibenzi,
27 Uyo anopa kuvarombo haangashayiwi chinhu,
28 Kana akaipa achienda pachigaro chokutonga, vanhu vanohwanda;
