1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
1Isu kwete, Jehovha, isu kwete, Asi zita renyu ngarikudzwe, Nokuda kwetsitsi dzenyu, uye nokuda kokutendeka kwenyu.
2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
2Vahedheni vachareverei, vachiti, Ko Mwari wavo zvino uripi?
3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
3Asi Mwari wedu ari kudenga-denga; Akaita zvose zvaakada.
4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
4Zvifananidzo zvavo sirivha nendarama, Basa ramaoko avanhu.
5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
5Zvinemiromo, asi hazvitauri; nameso zvinawo, asi hazvioni;
6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
6Zvinenzeve, asi hazvinzwi; Nemhino zvinadzo, asi hazvinhuwhidzi;
7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
7zvina maoko, asi hazvibati; Namakumbo zvinawo, asi hazvifambi; Hazvitauri napahuro pazvo.
8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
8Ivo vanozviita vachafanana nazvo; Zvirokwazvo, navose vanovimba nazvo.
9O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
9lwe Isiraeri, vimba naJehovha; Ndiye mubatsiri wavo nenhovo yavo.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
10Iwe imba yaAroni, vimba naJehovha; Ndiye mubatsiri wavo nenhovo yavo.
11Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
11imwi munotya Jehovha, vimbai naJehovha; Ndiye mubatsiri wavo nenhovo yavo.
12The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
12Jehovha akatirangarira; iye achatiropafadza; Acharopafadza imba yaIsiraeri, Acharopafadza imba yaAroni.
13He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
13Acharopafadza vanotya Jehovha, Vaduku navakuru vose.
14The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
14Jehovha acharamba achikuwanzai, imwi navana venyu.
15Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
15imwi makaropafadzwa naJehovha, Iye akaita kudenga napasi.
16The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
16Kudenga-denga ndiko kudenga-denga kwaJehovha; Asi pasi akapa vanakomana vavanhu.
17The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
17Vakafa havarumbidzi Jehovha, Kunyange ani naani anoburukira kwakanyarara;
18But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
18Asi isu hedu tichakudza Jehovha Kubva panguva ino kusvika pakusingaperi. Hareruya!
