ahora ahanze amaso imigenzereze yabo.

23 Hanyuma azaza abacire imanza akurikije ibikorwa byabo,

24 Nyamara abihannye azabemerera kumugarukira,

azahumuriza abacitse intege.

Guhamagarirwa kugarukira Imana

25 Garukira Uhoraho ureke gukora ibyaha,

ujye umwambaza ureke kumucumuraho.

26 Garukira Usumbabyose wirinde gukora ikibi,

ujye wamaganira kure icyo yanga.

27 Ni nde uzaba ari ikuzimu agasingiza Usumbabyose?

Abazima ni bo bashobora kumusingiza.

28 Umuntu muzima ni we ushobora gusingiza Uhoraho,

nyamara uwapfuye ntashobora kumusingiza.

29 Mbega ukuntu urukundo rw’Uhoraho ruhebuje!

Mbega ukuntu agirira impuhwe abamugarukira!

30 Abantu ntibashobora gutunganya byose,

koko mwene muntu ntahoraho iteka.

31 Ni iki kirusha izuba kumurika?

Nyamara na ryo rirarenga rikazima,

rirazima nk’umuntu w’inkozi y’ibibi.

32 Imana igenzura ingabo zose zo mu kirere,

nyamara abantu ni umukungugu n’ivu.
