1I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
1Ndakarindira-rindira Jehovha; Akarerekera nzeve kwandiri, akanzwa kuchema kwangu.
2He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
2Akandibudisawo pagomba rokuparadzwa, nomudziva ramatope; Akamisa tsoka dzangu padombo, akandisimbisa pakufamba kwangu.
3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
3Akaisa rwiyo rutsva mumuromo mangu, rwokurumbidza Mwari wedu narwo; Vazhinji vachazviona, vachitya, Vachavimba naJehovha.
4Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
4Akakomborerwa anoita Jehovha chivando chake. Asina hanya navanozvikudza, navanotsaukira kunhema.
5Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
5Jehovha Mwari wangu, mabasa enyu, anoshamisa, amakaita, mazhinji, Nemifungo yenyu kwatiri; Hapana angaenzaniswa nemi. Kana ndikada kuzvidudzira nokuzvireva, Hazvingaverengwi nokuwanda kwazvo.
6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
6imwi hamufadzwi nezvibayiro nezvipiriso; Makandidziurira nzeve dzangu; Zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvezvivi hamuna kuzvireva.
7Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
7Ipapo ndakati, Tarirai, ndauya; Parugwaro rwakapetwa makanyorwa nezvangu,
8I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
8Ndinofara kwazvo kuita kuda kwenyu, Mwari wangu; Zvirokwazvo murayiro wenyu uri mumoyo mangu.
9I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
9Ndakaparidza mashoko omufaro paungano huru; Tarirai, handingadzori miromo yangu, Jehovha, munozviziva
10I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
10Handina kuvanza kururama kwenyu muwoyo mangu; Ndakadudzira kutendeka kwenyu nokuponesa kwenyu; Handina kuvanzira ungano huru unyoro bwenyu nechokwadi chenyu.
11Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
11Jehovha, imwi hamungandinyimi tsitsi dzenyu; Unyoro bwenyu nechokwadi chenyu zvichandichengeta nguva dzose.
12For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
12nekuti madambudzo asingaverengwi akandikomberedza, Zvakaipa zvangu zvakandibata, naizvozvo handigoni kutarira kumusoro; Zvakawanda kupfuura vhudzi romusoro wangu, ndapera moyo.
13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
13Jehovha ngazvikufadzei kundirwira; Kurumidzai kundibatsira, Jehovha.
14Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
14Ngavanyadziswe, ngavazvidzwe pamwechete. Ivo vanotsvaka mweya wangu kuti vauparadze, gavadzoserwe shure, vashorwe Ivo vanofarira kundikuvadza.
15Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
15Ngavavhunduswe nokuda kwenyadzi dzavo Ivo vanoti kwandiri, Hekani, hekani waro!
16Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
16Vose vanokutsvakai ngavafarise vave nomufaro mamuri, Vanoda kuponesa kwenyu ngavarambe vachiti, Jehovha ngaakudzwe!
17But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
17Asi ini ndiri murombo nomushaiwi; Kunyange zvakadaro Ishe anondifunga; imwi muri mubatsiri wangu nomurwiri wangu; Regai kunonoka, Mwari wangu.
