1In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
1Ndinovimba naJehovha; Munoreva seiko kumweya wangu, muchiti, Tizira kugomo rako seshiri?
2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
2Nokuti, tarira, vakaipa vanobwembura uta, Vanogadzira museve wavo parukungiso, Kuti vafure anomoyo wakarurama parima.
3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
3Kana nheyo dzakaparadzwa, Akarurama angaiteiko?
4The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
4Jehovha uri mutemberi yake tsvene, Iye Jehovha, chigaro chake choushe chiri kudenga; Meso ake anotarira, mafungiro ameso ake anoidza vana vavanhu.
5The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
5Jehovha anoidza vakarurama; Asi mweya wake unovenga wakaipa neanomanikidza.
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
6Achanisira misungo pamusoro pavakaipa; Moto nesuriferi nemhepo inopisa, ndiwo uchava mukombe wavo wavakagoverwa.
7For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
7Nekuti Jehovha akarurama; anoda zvakarurama; Vakarurama vachaona chiso chake.
