Zvirevo 16

¹Kuronga kwomwoyo ndekwomunhu,

²Nzira dzose dzomunhu dzinoita sedzakanaka pakuona kwake,

³Kumikidza kuna Jehovha chose chaunoita,

⁴Jehovha anoitira zvinhu zvose magumo azvo;

⁵Jehovha anovenga vose vane mwoyo inozvikudza.

⁶Kubudikidza norudo nokutendeka, chivi chinoyananisirwa,

⁷Kana nzira dzomunhu dzichifadza Jehovha,

⁸Zviri nani kuva nezvishoma mukururama,

⁹Mumwoyo make munhu anoronga gwara rake,

¹⁰Miromo yamambo inotaura seinotaura chirevo chaMwari,

¹¹Zviyero nezvienzaniso zvechokwadi zvinobva kuna Jehovha;

¹²Madzimambo anovenga kuita zvakaipa,

¹³Madzimambo anofarira miromo inotaura chokwadi;

¹⁴Kutsamwa kwamambo inhume yorufu,

¹⁵Kana chiso chamambo chichibwinya, zvinoreva upenyu,

¹⁶Zviri nani sei kuwana uchenjeri pane goridhe,

¹⁷Mugwagwa mukuru wavakarurama unonzvenga zvakaipa;

¹⁸Kuzvikudza kunotangira kuparadzwa,

¹⁹Zviri nani kuva nomweya unozvininipisa pakati pavakadzvinyirirwa

²⁰Ani naani anoteerera kurayirwa achabudirira,

²¹Vakachenjera pamwoyo vanonzi ndivo vanonzvera,

²²Njere itsime roupenyu kuna avo vanadzo,

²³Mwoyo womunhu akachenjera unotungamirira muromo wake,

²⁴Mashoko anofadza akafanana nezinga rouchi,

²⁵Kune nzira inoita seyakanaka kumunhu,

²⁶Nzara yomushandi inomushandira;

²⁷Munhu asina maturo anoronga zvakaipa,

²⁸Munhu akatsauka anomutsa kupesana,

²⁹Munhu anoita nechisimba anonyengera muvakidzani wake,

³⁰Uyo anochonya nameso ake ari kuronga zvakaipa;

³¹Bvudzi rakachena ikorona yakaisvonaka;

³²Zviri nani kuva munhu ane mwoyo murefu pane kuva murwi,

³³Mujenya unokandirwa pamakumbo,
