Ari kutatamura denga semucheka mutetetete,
Uye anoritambanudza setende rekugara.+
24 Vachingobva kusimwa,

Ndiye uya anobudisa uto razvo muuwandu hwazvo;
Anozvishevedza zvese nemazita azvo.+
Nekuda kwesimba rake guru kwazvo uye simba rake rinoshamisa,+
Hapana chimwe chete chazvo chinoshayikwa.
27 Unotaurireiko, haiwa iwe Jakobho, uye unotaurireiko, haiwa iwe Israeri kuti,

30 Vakomana vachaneta uye vachapera simba,
Uye majaya achagumburwa odonha,
31 Asi vaya vanotarisira kuna Jehovha vachawanazve simba.
Vachabhururuka nemapapiro vachienda mudenga semakondo.+
Vachamhanya vasingaperi simba;
Vachafamba vasinganeti.”+
