Dhavhidhi akaimbira Jehovha mashoko orwiyo urwu paakarwirwa naJehovha kubva muruoko rwavavengi vake vose nomuruoko rwaSauro. 
Akati: “Jehovha ndiye dombo rangu, nhare yangu uye mununuri wangu; 
Mwari wangu ndiye dombo rangu, ndinovanda maari, nhoo yangu, norunyanga rworuponeso rwangu. Ndiye nhare yangu, utiziro hwangu nomuponesi wangu, munondiponesa pavanhu vanoita nechisimba. 
Ndinodana kuna Jehovha, iye anofanira kurumbidzwa, uye ndinoponeswa kubva kuvavengi vangu. 
“Mafungu orufu akandikomba; mvura zhinji yokuparadza yakandifukidza. 
Mabote eguva akandimonera; misungo yorufu yakandivinga. 
Mukutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha; ndakadanidzira kuna Mwari wangu. Akanzwa inzwi rangu ari mutemberi yake; kuchema kwangu kwakasvika munzeve dzake. 
“Nyika yakadedera uye ikazungunuka, nheyo dzokudenga dzakadengenyeka; dzakadedera nokuti akanga atsamwa. 
Utsi hwakakwira kubva mumhino dzake; moto unoparadza wakabuda mumuromo make, mazimbe anopisa akapfutamo. 
Akakamura matenga akaburuka pasi; makore erima akanga ari pasi petsoka dzake. 
Akatasva makerubhi akabhururuka; akabhururuka mudenga denga pamapapiro emhepo. 
Akaita kuti rima rimupoteredze setende, iwo makore matema emvura yokudenga. 
Kubva pakupenya kwokuvapo kwake mabhananʼana emheni akapenya. 
Jehovha akatinhira ari kudenga; inzwi reWokumusoro-soro rakanzwikazve. 
Akapfura miseve akaparadzira vavengi, mabhananʼana emheni akavaparadza. 
Mipata yegungwa yakaiswa pachena uye nheyo dzenyika dzakabudiswa pachena nokutuka kwaJehovha, nokufema kwomweya wemhino dzake. 
“Akatambanudza ruoko ari kudenga akandibata; akandibudisa kubva pamvura yakadzika. 
Akandinunura kubva pamuvengi wangu ane simba, kubva kuvavengi, vakanga vachindikurira pasimba. 
Vakandivinga muzuva renjodzi yangu, asi Jehovha akanga ari mutsigiri wangu. 
Akandibudisira kunzvimbo yakafarikana; akandinunura nokuti akanga achindifarira. 
“Jehovha akandiitira zviri maererano nokururama kwangu; maererano nokuchena kwamaoko angu, akandipa mubayiro. 
Nokuti ndakachengeta nzira dzaJehovha; handina kuita chakaipa ndichitsauka kubva kuna Mwari wangu. 
Mirayiro yake yose iri pamberi pangu; handina kutsauka kubva pamitemo yake. 
Ndakanga ndisina chandinopomerwa pamberi pake, uye ndakazvichengeta kuti ndirege kutadza. 
Jehovha akandipa mubayiro maererano nokururama kwangu, maererano nokuchema kwangu pamberi pake. 
“Kune vakatendeka munoratidza kutendeka kwenyu, kune vasina chavanopomerwa munoratidza kusapomerwa kwenyu, 
kune vakachena munozviratidza makachena, asi kune vasakarurama munozviratidza nehasha. 
Munoponesa vanozvininipisa, asi meso enyu ari pamusoro pavanozvikudza kuti muvaderedze. 
Imi muri mwenje wangu, Jehovha; Jehovha anoshandura rima rangu kuti rive chiedza. 
Norubatsiro rwenyu ndinogona kuenda kundorwa neboka ravarwi; naMwari wangu ndinogona kukwira rusvingo. 
“Kana ari Mwari, nzira yake yakarurama kwazvo; shoko raJehovha harina charingapomerwa. Ndiye nhoo yavose vanovanda maari. 
Nokuti ndianiko Mwari kunze kwaJehovha? Uye ndianiko Dombo kunze kwaMwari wedu? 
NdiMwari anondishongedza nesimba uye anoruramisa nzira yangu. 
Anoita tsoka dzangu kuti dzive setsoka dzenondo; anoita kuti ndigone kumira pakakwirira. 
Anodzidzisa maoko angu kurwa; maoko angu anowembura uta hwendarira. 
Munondipa nhoo yenyu yokukunda, munokotamira pasi kuti mundikurise. 
Munotambanudza nzira pasi pangu, kuitira kuti zvitsitsinho zvangu zvirege kutsauka. 
“Ndakatevera vavengi vangu ndikavaparadza; handina kudzoka kusvikira vaparadzwa. 
Ndakavaparadza zvachose, uye havana kugona kumuka; vakawira pasi petsoka dzangu. 
Makandishongedza nesimba rokurwa; makaita kuti vadzivisi vangu vakotame patsoka dzangu. 
Makaita kuti vavengi vangu vatize pakurwa, uye ndakaparadza vavengi vangu. 
Vakachemera kubatsirwa, asi hakuna munhu akavaponesa, kunyange kuna Jehovha, asi haana kupindura. 
Ndakavapwanya vakatsetseka seguruva renyika; ndakavatswa uye ndikavatsika sedope riri munzira dzomumusha. 
“Makandinunura kubva pakurwisa kwavanhu vangu; makandichengetedza somutungamiri wendudzi. Vanhu vandakanga ndisingazivi vava pasi pangu. 
Uye vatorwa vanouya kwandiri vachidedera, pavanongondinzwa vanonditeerera. 
Vose vanoora mwoyo; vanouya vachidedera kubva panhare dzavo. 
“Jehovha mupenyu! Dombo rangu ngarirumbidzwe! Ngaakudzwe Mwari, iye Dombo, Muponesi wangu! 
Ndiye Mwari anonditsivira, anoisa ndudzi pasi pangu, 
anondisunungura kubva kuvavengi vangu. Imi makandikudza pamusoro pavavengi vangu; kubva kuvanhu vanoita nechisimba, makandinunura. 
Naizvozvo ndichakurumbidzai, imi Jehovha, pakati pendudzi; ndicharumbidza zita renyu nenziyo. 
“Iye anopa mambo wake kukunda kukuru; anoratidza unyoro hwake kumuzodziwa wake, kuna Dhavhidhi nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi.”
