1 Nzogushira hejuru, Uhoraho,

kuko wanshize hejuru unkuye mu kinogo kirekire,

ntiwandeka ngo abansi banje banshinyagurire.

2 Uhoraho Mana yanje, naragutakambiye,

na we urankiza.

3 Ni wewe, Uhoraho, wankuye ahantu h’abapfuye;

warandinze ngo simanuke nja muri rwa rwobo.

4 Nimuririmbire Uhoraho amashimwe, yemwe abizigirwa biwe;

muhimbaze izina ryiwe ryera.

5 Kuko uburake bwiwe bumara akanya gato,

ariko ukugira neza kwiwe kugumaho ubuzima bwose;

ukurira kwomara ijoro ryose,

ariko mu gitondo hakaba impundu.

6 Igihe nari ntekaniwe naravuze nti:

"Sinzonyiganyizwa."

7 Uhoraho, igihe wangirira neza,

watumye umusozi w’ubwami bwanje ushikama;

ariko aho wahisha mu nyonga hawe,

nishwe n’ubwoba.

8 Narakwambaje, ewe Uhoraho;

natabaje Uhoraho Umwami wanje nti:

9 "Uzokwunguka iki ninapfa,

ninamanuka nkaja muri rwa rwobo?

Mbega umukungugu uzoguhimbaza?

Canke uzokwamamaza ukwizigirwa kwawe?

10 Nunyumve, ewe Uhoraho, ungirire imbabazi;

Uhoraho we, umbere umutabazi."

11 Wahinduye ugucura intimba kwanje ukuvyina;

wanyambuye igunira unyambika impuzu y’umunezero,

12 kugira ngo umutima wanje uririmbe amashimwe urudaca.

Uhoraho Mana yanje, nzogushima ibihe bidashira.
