⁶Makatiita chinhu chinoitirwa nharo navatigere navo; Vavengi vedu vanotiseka pakati pavo.Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

⁷Tidzosereizve, Mwari wehondo; Penyesai chiso chenyu, isuTurn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

⁸Makandotora muzambiringa paIjipiti; Makadzinga vahedheni, mukausima.Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

⁹Makaugadzirira, Ukabata kwazvo, ukazadza nyika.Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
