15 Wakandiita mudumbu haasi iye wakamuita here? Hongu, umwe chete wakatiumba mudumbu.

16 Kana ndakarega murombo pachishuwo, kana kunetesa meso echirikadzi.

17 Kana ndakadya chimedu changu ndiri ndoga, uye nherera isina kudya pachiri.

18 Nokuti kubva paudiki hwangu yakakurira kwandiri sababa, uye ndakamutungamirira kubva pachizvaro chamai vangu.

23 Nokuti mharadzo yaMwari chityiso kwandiri, uye nekuda kweukuru hwake handigoni.

24 Kana ndakaita goridhe tariro yangu, kana ndakati kugoridhe rakanatswa: Chivimbo changu.

25 Kana ndakafara nokuti fuma yangu yakawanda, uye nokuti ruoko rwangu rwakawana zvizhinji.

26 Kana ndakatarisa zuva parinobwinya, kana mwedzi uchifamba pakuchena,

27 nemoyo wangu wakakwezvewa pachivande, kana ruoko rwangu rwakatsvoda muromo wangu;

28 ichiwo chitadzo pamutongi, nokuti ndinenge ndaramba Mwari ari kumusoro.

29 Kana ndakafara pakuparadzwa kweanondivenga, kana ndakapemberera chakaipa pachakamuwana.

30 Uye ndisina kutendera muromo wangu kutadza nekukumbira mweya weupenyu wake nechakatukwa.

31 Kana vanhu vetende rangu vasina kureva vachiti: Dai paiva neumwe asina kugutswa nenyama yake.

32 Mweni haana kurara usiku panzira yemumusha; ndakazarurira mikova yangu kumufambi.

33 Dai ndakafukidza chitadzo changu saAdhamu, nekuviga kuipa kwangu muchipfuva changu.

34 Nokuti ndakatya chaunga chikuru, nekushovorwa neverudzi kwakandityisa, naizvozvo ndakanyarara, handina kubuda pamukova.

35 Haiwa, dai ndaiva neanondinzwa! Tarirai, mucherechedzo wangu. Dai Wemasimbaose andipindura; uye kuti mupikisi wangu dai anyora rugwaro!

36 Zvirokwazvo, ndairwutakura pafudzi rangu; ndairwusunga rwukava korona kwandiri.

37 Ndaimududzira uwandu hwenhambwe dzangu; semuchinda ndaiswedera kwaari.

38 Kana ivhu rangu richindichemera, kana mihoronga yaro pamwe chete ichichema;

39 kana ndakadya simba raro pasina mari, kana ndakaita mweya weupenyu wevaridzi varo upere;
