Psalms 18:1-7

Ndinokudai, imi Jehovha, simba rangu.

Jehovha ndiye dombo rangu, nhare yangu, murwiri wangu;
Mwari wangu ndiye dombo rangu, wandinovanda maari.
Ndiye nhoo yangu norunyanga rworuponeso rwangu, shongwe yangu.
Ndinodana kuna Jehovha, iye akafanira kurumbidzwa,
uye ndinoponeswa kubva kuvavengi vangu.

Mabote orufu akandipinganidza;
mvura zhinji inoparadza yakandifukidza.
Mabote eguva akandimonera;
misungo yorufu yakanangana neni.
Pakutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha;
ndakadana kuna Mwari wangu kuti ndibatsirwe.
Akanzwa inzwi rangu ari mutemberi yake;
kuchema kwangu kwakasvika pamberi pake munzeve dzake.

Nyika yakadedera ikadengenyeka,
uye nheyo dzamakomo dzakazunguzika
