¹Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

¹Wakakomborerwa ane hanya navarombo Jehovha achamurwira nomusi wezvakaipa.

²The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

²Jehovha achamuchengeta nokumuraramisa, achakomborerwa panyika; Hamungamuisi pakuda kwavavengi vake,

³The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

³Jehovha achapindura nhovo yourwere; Munoshandura nhovo dzake dzose pakurwara kwake.

⁴I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

⁴Ini ndakati, Jehovha, ndinzwirei tsitsi; Poresai mweya wangu; nekuti ndakakutadzirai.

⁵Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

⁵Vavengi vangu vanotaura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu, vachiti, Uchagofa rinhiko, zita rake rirove?

⁶And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

⁶Kana mumwe achiuya kuzondiona, anotaura zvisina maturo; moyo wake unozviunganidzira zvakaipa; Kana obuda kumwe, anozviparidza.

⁷All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

⁷Vose, vanondivenga, vanoita zeve-zeve pamwechete pamusoro pangu; Vanorangana kundikuvadza,

⁸An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

⁸Chinhu chakaipa chakamunamatira ndizvo zvavanotaura; Zvino zvaavata pasi, haachazomukizve.

⁹Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

⁹Haiwa, kunyange murume youshamwari hwangu, wandaivimba naye, aidya zvokudya zvangu, Naiye andisimudzira chichitsinho chake.

¹⁰But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

¹⁰Asi imwi Jehovha, ndinzwirei tsitsi, mundisimudzei, Kuti ndivatsive.

¹¹By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

¹¹Ndinoziviswa nechinhu ichi kuti munofadzwa neni, nekuti muvengi wangu haandikundi.

¹²And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

¹²Kana ndirini munonditsigira pakururama kwangu, Munondiisa pamberi penyu nokusingaperi.

¹³Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

¹³Jehovha, Mwari waIsiraeri, ngaavongwe, Kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi Ameni, zvirokwazvo Ameni.
