Mapisarema 123

¹Ndinosimudzira meso angu kwamuri, Iyemi, munogara kudenga.Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

²Tarirai, meso avaranda sezvaanotarira ruoko rwatenzi wavo, Uye meso omurandakadzi sezvaanotarira ruoko rwatenzikadzi wake; Saizvozvo meso edu anotarira kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu, Kusvikira atinzwira nyasha.Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

³Tinzwirei nyasha, Jehovha, tinzwirei nyasha; Nokuti tapera kwazvo nokuzvidzwa.Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

⁴Mweya wedu wapera chose Nokushora kwavanogara havo zvakanaka, Uye noruzvidzo rwavanozvikudza.Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
