1 Mndewa Imulungu ayo mulenge wangu,

na ukombola wangu,

niye nimdumbe nani?

Mndewa Imulungu ayo ngome ya ugima wangu,

simdumba munhu yoyose.

2 Wanhu wehile wahanivamila ili wanikome,

awo iwanhu onihila oikwala na kugwa.

3 Hata wakalizi wahanizunguluka,

moyo wangu haudumba kinhu,

hata nahengila mna ing’hondo,

ning’hali nokutamanila gweye.
