1Ndichadana kwamuri, Jehovha; Dombo rangu, regai kundinyararira; zvimwe, kana mukandinyararira, ndingafanana navanoburukira kugomba.
1Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2Inzwai inzwi remikumbiro yangu, kana ndichichema kwamuri, Kana ndichisimudzira maoko angu kunzvimbo yomukati yeimba yenyu tsvene.
2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3Musandibvuta pamwechete navakaipa, Navanoita zvakashata; Ivo vanotaura rugare kuna vavanogara navo, Asi zvakashata zviri mumoyo mavo.
3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4Muvape zvakaenzana nebasa ravo, uye zvakaenzana nezvakaipa zvavakaita, Muvape zvakaenzana nokubata kwamaoko avo; Muvaitire sezvakavafanira.
4Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
5Zvavasina kurangarira mabasa aJehovha, Nezvaakabata namaoko ake, Iye achavaputsa, akasavavakazve.
5Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6Jehovha ngaavongwe, nekuti akanzwa inzwi rokukumbira kwangu.
6Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7Jehovha ndiye simba rangu nenhovo yangu; moyo wangu wakavimba naye, ndikabatsirwa; Saka moyo wangu unofara kwazvo, Ndichamurumbidza norwiyo rwangu.
7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8Jehovha ndiye simba ravo, Ndiye nhare yokuponesa kumuzodziwa wake.
8The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
9Ponesai vanhu venyu, muropafadze nhaka yenyu; Muvafudzewo, muvatakure nokusingaperi.
9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
