Inofamba ichisiya muzvezve mumadhaka sechirei chekupurisa.+

31 Inoita kuti pasi pasi pemvura pafashaire sehari;

Inobvongodza gungwa roita sehari yemafuta ekuzora.

33 Hapana chakafanana nayo panyika,

Mhuka yakasikwa isingatyi.

 2 “Iye zvino ndava kuziva kuti munokwanisa kuita zvinhu zvese

Uye hapana chamunofunga kuita chamungatadza.+

Saka ndakataura, asi ndakanga ndisinganzwisisi

Nezvezvinhu zvinondishamisa kwazvo, zvandakanga ndisingazivi.+

 5 Ndaingoita zvekunzwa nezvenyu,

Asi iye zvino ndava kukuonai nemaziso angu.

 6 Ndokusaka ndiri kudzora mashoko angu andakataura,+

Uye ndiri kupfidza muguruva nemadota.”+
