1I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
1Ndichaimba ndichireva tsitsi nokururama; Ndimi Jehovha wandichaimbira nziyo dzokurumbidza.
2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
2Ndichaita zvose nokugwara panzira yakarurama; Haiwa, muchauya kwandiri rinhiko? Ndichafamba mumba mangu nomoyo wakarurama.
3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
3Handingavavariri chinhu chakaipa; Ndinovenga zvinoitwa navanotsauka; Hazvingandinamatiri.
4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
4Moyo wakatsauka ngaubve kwandiri; Handidi kuziva zvakaipa.
5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
5Anoitira vokwake makuhwa, ndichamuparadza; Anotarira namanyawi, nounomoyo unozvikudza, handingavi nehanya naye.
6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
6Meso angu achatarira vakatendeka panyika, kuti vagare neni; Munhu anofamba nenzira yakarurama, ndiye angava mushumiri wangu.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
7Anonyengera haangagari mumba mangu; Anoreva nhema haangarambiri pamberi pangu.
8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
8Mangwanani ose ndichaparadza vakaipa vose venyika; Kuti ndipedze vose vanoita zvakaipa paguta raJehovha.
