¹Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

¹Rerekai nzeve dzenyu, Jehovha, ndipindurei; nekuti ndiri murombo nomushaiwi.

²Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

²Chengetai mweya wangu; nekuti ndiri mudikamwi wenyu; Haiwa Mwari wangu, ponesai muranda wenyu anovimba nemi.

³Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

³Ndinzwirei tsitsi, Ishe, nekuti ndinodana kwamuri zuva rose.

⁴Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

⁴Fadzai mweya womuranda wenyu, nekuti ndinosimudzira mweya wangu kwamuri Ishe wangu.

⁵For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

⁵Nekuti imi, Ishe makanaka, munofarira kukangamwira, Mune tsitsi zhinji kuna vose vanodana kwamuri.

⁶Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

⁶Rerekerai nzeve yenyu, Jehovha kumunyengetero wangu; Teererai inzwi rokukumbira kwangu.

⁷In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

⁷Pazuva rokutambudzika kwangu ndichadana kwamuri, nekuti muchandipindura.

⁸Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

⁸Hapana akafanana nemwi pakati pavamwari, Ishe, Uye hapana mabasa akafanana namabasa enyu.

⁹All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

⁹Ndudzi dzose dzamakaita dzichauya kuzonamata pamberi penyu, Ishe, Dzicharumbidza zita renyu.

¹⁰For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

¹⁰Nekuti imwi muri mukuru, munoita zvinhu zvinoshamisa, Ndimi Mwari woga.

¹¹Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

¹¹Ndidzidzisei nzira yenyu, Jehovha, ndichafamba muchokwadi chenyu, Batanidzai moyo wangu kuti nditye zita renyu.

¹²I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

¹²Ndichakurumbidzai, Ishe Mwari wangu, nomoyo wangu wose, Ndicharumbidza zita renyu nokusingaperi.

¹³For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

¹³Nekuti tsitsi dzenyu ihuru kwandiri; Makarwira mweya wangu pagomba rakadzika-dzika.

¹⁴O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

¹⁴Mwari, vanozvikudza vakandimukira, Ungano yavanhu, vanomanikidza, vakatsvaka mweya wangu, Havana kukuisai pamberi pavo.

¹⁵But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

¹⁵Asi imi, Ishe muri Mwari une tsitsi nenyasha, Hamukurumidzi kutsamwa, mune tsitsi zhinji nechokwadi.

¹⁶O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

¹⁶Ringirai kwandiri, mundinzwire tsitsi; Ipai muranda wenyu simba renyu, Muponese mwanakomana womurandakadzi wenyu.

¹⁷Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

¹⁷Ndiratidzei chiratidzo mundiitire zvakanaka; Kuti vanondivenga vazvione, vanyadziswe, nekuti imwi Jehovha, makandibatsira nokundinyaradza.
