1Hareruya! Rumbidza Jehovha, iwe mweya wangu!
1Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2Ndicharumbidza Jehovha ndichiri mupenyu; Ndichaimbira Mwari wangu nziyo dzokurumbidza, ini ndichiripo.
2While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3Regai kuvimba namachinda, Kana noMwanakomana womunhu, asingagoni kubatsira.
3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4Mweya wake unobuda, iye ndokudzokera pasi pake; Nezuva iro mano ake anopera.
4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5Anomufaro munhu uyo kana Mwari waJakove ari mubatsiri wake, Anotarira kuna Jehovha Mwari wake.
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6Iye, akaita kudenga napasi, Negungwa, nezvose zviri mukati mazvo; Iye, anoramba akatendeka nokusingaperi;
6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7Anoruramisira vanomanikidzwa; Anopa vane nzara zvokudya; Jehovha anosunungura vasungwa;
7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
8Jehovha anosvinudza meso amapofu; Jehovha anosimudza vakakotamiswa pasi; Jehovha anoda vakarurama;
8The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
9Jehovha anochengeta vatorwa; Jehovha anotsigira nherera nechirikadzi; Asi nzira yavakaipa anoipesanisa.
9The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10Jehovha achabata ushe nokusingaperi, Mwari wako, iwe Ziyoni, kusvikira kumarudzi namarudzi. Hareruya!
10The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
