1How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
1Jehovha muchandikangamwa nokusingaperi kusvikira rinhi? Muchandivanzira chiso chenyu kusvikira rinhiko?
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
2Ndichafunga mano mumweya mangu kusvikira rinhi, Ndine shungu pamoyo pangu zuva nezuva? Muvengi wangu achandikurira kusvikira rinhi?
3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
3Rangarirai, mundipindure, Jehovha Mwari wangu; Vhenekerai meso angu, ndirege kuvata hope dzokufa;
4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
4Muvengi wangu arege kuti, Ndamukunda; Vadzivisi vangu varege kufara kana ndichizununguka.
5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
5Asi ndakavimba nenyasha dzenyu; moyo wangu uchafara nokuponesa kwenyu;
6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
6Ndichaimbira Jehovha, nekuti akandiitira zvakanaka.
