¹IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:

¹Zvakanaka kuvonga Jehovha, Nokuimbira zita renyu nziyo dzokurumbidza, imwi Wekumusoro-soro;

²To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

²Kuparidza unyoro bwenyu mangwanani, Nokutendeka kwenyu usiku hwose,

³Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

³Nechinoridzwa chine hungiso gumi, nomutengeramwa; Nenzwi rakanaka pambira.

⁴For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

⁴nekuti imi, Jehovha, makandifadza nezvamakaita; Ndichafara kwazvo namabasa amaoko enyu.

⁵O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

⁵Mabasa enyu akakura seiko, Jehovha! Mifungo yenyu yakadzika kwazvo.

⁶A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

⁶Asina njere haazvizivi; Benzi harinzwisisi izvozvi,

⁷When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

⁷Kana vakaipa vachimera souswa, Uye kana vaiti vose vezvakaipa vachikura; Zvinoitwa kuti vaparadzwe nokusingaperi.

⁸But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.

⁸Asi imwi Jehovha muri kumusoro nokusingaperi.

⁹For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

⁹Nekuti tarirai, Jehovha, vavengi venyu, nekuti tarirai, Jehovha, vavengi venyu vachaparara; Vaiti vose vezvakaipa vachaparadzirwa.

¹⁰But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

¹⁰Asi runyanga rwangu makarusimudza sorunyanga rwenyati; Ndakazodzwa namafuta matsva.

¹¹Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

¹¹Ziso rangu rakaona zvakaitirwa vavengi vangu, Nzeve dzangu dzakanzwa zvakaitirwa vaiti vezvakaipa, vakandimukira.

¹²The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹²Wakarurama uchamera somuchindwe; Achakura somusidhari paRebhanoni.

¹³Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

¹³Vakasimwa mumba maJehovha Vachakura muvazhe dzaMwari wedu.

¹⁴They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

¹⁴Vacharamba vachibereka zvibereko pakukwegura kwavo; Vachava vanyoro navatsva;

¹⁵To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

¹⁵Kuti vaparidze kuti Jehovha akarurama; Ndiye dombo rangu, hapana chinhu chisina kururama maari.
