Psalm 42:1-4

Senondo inodokwairira hova dzemvura,
saizvozvo mweya wangu unodokwairirai, imi Mwari.
Mweya wangu une nyota kuna Mwari, nyota yaMwari mupenyu.
Ndingaenda riniko kundosangana naMwari?
Misodzi yangu yanga iri zvokudya zvangu
masikati nousiku,
asi zuva rose vanhu vanoti kwandiri,
“Mwari wako aripiko?”
Ndinorangarira zvinhu izvi
pandinodurura mweya wangu,
mafambiro andaiita navazhinji
ndichitungamirira mudungwe wavanhu kuimba yaMwari,
nokupembera nomufaro uye nokuvonga
pakati pavazhinji pamutambo.
