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