¹Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

¹Tinokuvongai, Mwari; Tinovonga, nekuti zita renyu riri pedo; Vanhu vanoparidza mabasa enyu anoshamisa.

²When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

²Kana ndichiwana nguva yakafanira, Ndichatonga zvakarurama.

³The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

³Pasi pose panyauka navose vagerepo; Ndini ndakamisa mbiru dzayo.

⁴I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

⁴Ndakati kuna vanamanyawi , Regai kuita namanyawi; Nokuna vakaipa, Regai kusimudza runyanga.

⁵Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

⁵Regai kusimudza runyanga rwenyu kudenga; Regai kutaura nomutsipa mukukutu.

⁶For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

⁶Nekuti kunyange kumabudazuva, kana kumavirira, Kana kurenje, hakuzi ikoko kunobva kukudzwa.

⁷But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

⁷Asi Mwari ndiye mutongi; Anoninipisa mumwe achikudza mumwe.

⁸For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

⁸Nekuti muruoko rwaJehovha munomukombe, newaini inopupuma; Uzere nezvakavhenganiswa, zvino anodurura mauri; Zvirokwazvo, vakaipa vose venyika vachasvina masese awo, nokuamwa.

⁹But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

⁹Asi ini ndichaparidza nokusingaperi, Ndichaimbira Mwari waJakove nziyo dzokurumbidza.

¹⁰All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

¹⁰Nyanga dzose dzavakaipa ndichadzigura; Asi nyanga dzavakarurama dzichasimudzwa.
