¹I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

¹Ndichakukudzai zvikuru, Jehovha, nekuti makandisimudza, Hamuna kutendera vavengi vangu kufara nekuda kwangu.

²O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

²Jehovha, Mwari wangu, Ndakachema kwamuri, imwi mukandiponesa.

³O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

³Jehovha, makabudisa mweya wangu paSheori; Makachengeta upenyu hwangu, kuti ndirege kuburukira kugomba.

⁴Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

⁴Imbirai Jehovha nziyo dzokurumbidza, imwi vatsvene vake, Muvonge kana muchirangarira zita rake dzvene.

⁵For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

⁵nekuti kutsamwa kwake kuripo chinguva chiduku; Asi tsitsi dzake ndedzoupenyu hwose. Kuchema kungavapo madekwana, Asi mufaro unosvika mangwanani.

⁶And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

⁶Kana ndirini, ndakati pakufara kwangu, Handingatongozununguswi.

⁷LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

⁷Imwi Jehovha, netsitsi dzenyu makamisa gomo rangu nesimba; Makavanza chiso chenyu; ini ndikatambudzika.

⁸I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

⁸Ndakachema kwamuri, Jehovha; Uye ndakakumbira kuna Jehovha;

⁹What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

⁹Ropa rangu ringandibatsireiko, kana ndichaburukira kugomba? Guruva ringakurumbidzai here? Ringadudzira chokwadi chenyu here?

¹⁰Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

¹⁰Inzwai Jehovha, mundinzwirei tsitsi; Jehovha, ivai mubatsiri wangu.

¹¹Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

¹¹Makashandura kuchema kwangu kukava kutamba; Makasunungura gumbo rangu, mukasunga chiuno changu nomufaro;

¹²To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

¹²Kuti mweya wangu ukuimbirei nziyo dzokurumbidza, urege kunyarara. Jehovha Mwari wangu, ndichakuvongai nokusingaperi.
