1Jehovha, ndinovimba nemi; ngandirege kutongonyadziswa; Ndirwirei pakururama kwenyu.
1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2Rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri; kurumidzai kundirwira; Ivai dombo rangu rakasimba, neimba yenhare yokundiponesa.
2Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3nekuti ndimi dombo rangu nenhare yangu; Naizvozvo nditungamirirei mundifambise nokuda kwezita renyu.
3For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
4Ndibvutei pamumbure wavakandidzikira pakavanda; nekuti ndimi nhare yangu.
4Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
5Ndinoisa mweya wangu muruoko rwenyu; Makandidzikunura Jehovha, imwi Mwari wechokwadi.
5Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
6Ndinovenga vanokudza zvenhema zvisina maturo; Asi ndichavimba naJehovha.
6I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
7Ndichafara nokufarisisa netsitsi dzenyu; nekuti makaona kutambudzika kwangu; Makaziva kumanikidzwa komweya wangu;
7I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8Hamuna kundiisa muruoko rwomuvengi; Makamisa tsoka dzangu panzvimbo yakafarikana.
8And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9Ndinzwirei tsitsi Jehovha, nekuti ndiri panjodzi; Ziso rangu rapera nokuchema, zvirokwazvo, nomweya wangu nomuviri wanguvo.
9Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10nekuti hupenyu hwangu hwapera nokuchema, namakore angu nokugomera; Simba rangu rapera nokuda kokutadza kwangu, uye mafupa angu asakara.
10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11Ndava chinhu chinozvidzwa nemhaka yavadzivisi vangu vose, Zvirokwazvo, zvikuru kuna vandinogara navo, nechinotyisa kuvazikani vangu; Vakandiona kunze vakanditiza.
11I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12Ndakanganikwa sowakafa asati achafungwa; Ndava somudziyo wakaputsika.
12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13Ndakanzwa vazhinji vachindipomera, Zvinotyisa kumativi ose; Pakurangana kwavo pamusoro pangu Vakafunga mano kuti vanditorere upenyu hwangu.
13For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14Asi ndakavimba nemwi Jehovha; Ndakati, Ndimi Mwari wangu.
14But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
15Nguva dzangu dziri muruoko rwenyu; Ndirwirei paruoko rwavavengi vangu, nokuna vanonditambudza.
15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16Vhenekesai chiso chenyu pamusoro pomuranda wenyu; Ndiponesei nounyoro bwenyu.
16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
17Ngandirege kunyadziswa, Jehovha; nekuti ndakadana kwamuri; Vakaipa ngavanyadziswe, ngavanyarare paSheori.
17Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18Miromo inoreva nhema ngainyarare; Iyo inotaura namanyawi kuna vakarurama, Ichizvikudza nokuvazvidza. Haiwa, zvakanaka zvenyu zvamakachengetera vanokutyai zvakakura sei, Zvamakaitira vanovimba nemi, pamberi pavanakomana vavanhu!
18Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19Muchavavanza pakavanda pamberi penyu, vabve pamano avanhu;
19Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20Muchavachengeta pakavanda patende vabve pabangano romunhu.
20Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21Jehovha ngaavongwe, nekuti akandiratidza unyoro hwake hunoshamisa paguta rakasimbiswa.
21Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22Kana ndirini, ndakati pakukaruka kwangu, Ndabviswa pamberi penyu; Kunyange zvakadaro, makanzwa inzwi rokukumbira kwangu pakuchema kwangu kwamuri.
22For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23Idai Jehovha, imwi vatsvene vake mose; Jehovha anochengeta vakatendeka, Anotsiva zvikuru munhu anozvikudza.
23O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24Ivai nesimba, uye moyo yenyu itsunge, imwi mose munorindira Jehovha.
24Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
