1Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
1Inzwai zvakarurama Jehovha, muteerere kuchema kwangu; Rerekerai nzeve dzenyu kumunyengetero wangu, unobva pamiromo isinganyengeri.
2Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
2Kutongwa kwangu ngakubve pamberi penyu; Meso enyu ngaatarire zvakarurama.
3Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
3Makaidza moyo wangu; makandishanyira usiku; Makandiidza, mukasawana kufunga kwakaipa mandiri Ndakazvisunga kuti muromo wangu urege kudarika.
4Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
4Kana ari mabasa avanhu; neshoko remiromo yenyu, Ini ndakanzvenga nzira dzomuparadzi.
5Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
5Kutsika kwangu kwakarambira panzira dzenyu, Tsoka dzangu hadzina kutedzemuka.
6I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
6Ini ndakadana kwamuri, nekuti muchandipindura, imwi Mwari; Rerekerai nzeve dzenyu kwandiri, munzwe kutaura kwangu.
7Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
7Ratidzai nokushamisa rudo rwenyu rweunyoro, imwi, munoponesa vanovimba nemi, imwi munoponesa noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, ava vanovimba nemwi Kuna vanovamukira simba.
8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
8Ndichengetei semboni, mukunda weziso; ndivanzei pasi pomumvuri wamapapiro enyu,
9From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
9Kunavakaipa, vanondiparadza, Ivo vavengi vangu vakaipa, vanondikomba.
10They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
10Vakadzivira moyo yavo;
11They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
11Vanotaura vachikudza nemiromo yavo. Vakatikomba zvino pakufamba kwedu; Vanocherekedza nameso avo kuti vatiwisire pasi.
12Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
12Vakafanana neshumba inokarira kuparadza, somwana weshumba inovandira panzvimbo dzakavanda.
13Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
13Simukai, Jehovha, Mirai pamberi pake, mumuwisire pasi; Rwirai mweya wangu nomunondo wenyu kuna vakaipa;
14From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
14Kuvanhu, noruoko rwenyu imwi Jehovha, Kuvanhu venyika, vanomugove wavo paupenyu uhwu, Vamunozadza dumbu ravo nefuma yenyu; Vana vana vazhinji, Vanosiira vacheche vavo zvakasara zvefuma yavo.
15As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
15Ini ndichaona chiso chenyu pakururama; Ndichaguta nomufananidzo wenyu pakumuka kwangu.
