1 Ni kuki wihagarariye kure, ewe Uhoraho?

Ni kuki winyegeza mu gihe c’ivyago?

2 Umunyakibi mu bwibone bwiwe ahiga abanyantegenke,

abafashwe mu mitego yateze.

3 Yirata ivyo yipfuza mu mutima wiwe;

ashima uwipfuza inyungu mbi agakengera Uhoraho.

4 Umunyakibi mu bwishime bwiwe ntarondera Imana;

mu vyiyumviro vyiwe nta kibanza afitiye Uhoraho.

5 Ivyo akora vyose vyama bitera imbere;

atera akagere ivyagezwe vyawe;

abansi biwe abahuhisha impwemu ziwe.

6 Yibwira mu mutima wiwe ati: "Nta kintu na kimwe kizonyiganyiza."

Arahira avuga ati: "Nta kibi kizonshikira."

7 Akanwa kiwe kuzuye imivumo, ibinyoma n’imihigo;

ivyago n’ibibi biri musi y’ururimi rwiwe.

8 Abunda i ruhande y’imihana;

akavunduruka aho abunze yica umugororotsi.

Amaso yiwe arabira mu mpisho abo agomba kwica;

9 abunda afise ico ateze nk’intambwe.

Abundira gufata abatagira gitabara;

afata abatagira gitabara maze akabakwegera mu mutego wiwe.

10 Abatagira gitabara baratemba, akabafyonyora;

bakagwa musi y’ububasha bwiwe.

11 Yibwira mu mutima wiwe ati: "Imana ntizobibona;

yipfutse mu nyonga zayo nta co yigera ibona."

12 Haguruka, Uhoraho! Ramvura ukuboko kwawe, ewe Mana.

Ntiwibagire abatagira gitabara.

13 Ni kuki umunyakibi akengera Imana?

Ni kuki yibwira mu mutima ngo:

"Nta co izombaza?"

14 Ariko wewe, Mana, raba ivyago vy’abari mu mubabaro;

witegereze uburibwe bwabo maze ivyabo uvyishinge.

Abagirirwa nabi barakwituye;

ni wewe utabara impfuvyi.

15 Vuna ukuboko kw’umunyakibi;

hamagaza uwakoze nabi umuhanire ibibi yakoze

kugira ngo ntibisubire kuboneka.

16 Uhoraho ni Umwami ibihe bitazoshira;

amahanga atamwubaha azohona mu gihugu ciwe.

17 Wewe, Uhoraho, wumva ivyo impahazwa zifuza;

urabaremesha, ukumva ugutakamba kwabo,

18 ugutabara impfuvyi n’impahazwa,

kugira ngo abantu buntu

ntibasubire kubatera ubwoba.
