1Yahwe, musinditjemele makagwadzamoyo,

3Akutjina mamuko mu mbili wangu,

akutjina mamuko mu mafupa angu nge tjibi tjangu.
4Ngobe tjibi tjangu tjakandipinda,
tjotjinga ntolo unondilemela.
5Mbonje dzangu dzonyikishila kakale dzonuhwa
nge bulengwe gwangu.
6Ndakagogonyala ndakagoba,

8Anditjina gwangu ndapelegwa,

ne mesho angu aatjabona.
11Bazwalani bangu ne bakwinya bangu

ne makamu angu amile kutjena nami.
12Ibabo banovima butjilo gwangu bakanditeya;

14Ee, ndonga nthu usingahwe,
ne nlomo uwe usingalebeleke.
15Koga ndimilile imwi Yahwe,

16Ndotembezela nditi,
“Tjikulu musiletje bakashatha nge kwangu,

17Ndabepejo ngowa,

18Ndozwileba jinyo langu;
ndohwisiwa zogwadza nge tjibi tjangu.
19Babengi bangu imi ndisina nlandu nabo bakasima,

20Ibabo banobgwilizila ndulamo nge bubi

21Musindilashe Yahwe.
Ndzimu wangu, musibekule nami.
22Libilidzilani kundibhatsha,
