1Mwari, makatirasha, makatiparadza; Makanga makatsamwa; Haiwa, tidzorei.
1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2Makabvundisa nyika; makaitsemura; Gadzirai mitswe yayo; nekuti inozununguka.
2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3Makaratidza vanhu venyu zvinhu zvinorema; Makatimwisa waini inobata.
3Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4Makapa vanokutyai mureza, Kuti uratidzwe nokuda kwechokwadi.
4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5Kuti vadikamwi venyu varwirwe, Tiponesei noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, mutipindure.
5That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6Mwari akataura pautsvene hwake, achiti, Ndichafara kwazvo; Ndichaganhura Shekemu, ndichayera mupata weSukoti.
6God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7Giriyadhi ndeyangu Manase ndeyangu; Efuremuwo inhawiro yomusoro wangu; Judha ndiyo tsvimbo yangu youshe.
7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8Moabhu ndiwo mudziyo wangu wokushambidzira; Pamusoro peEdhomu ndipo pandichakandira shangu yangu; Iwe Firisitia, pururudza nokukunda nokuda kwangu.
8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9Ndianiko achandiisa muguta rakasimba? Ndianiko achandiperekedza ndiende Edhomu?
9Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10Hamuna kutirasha here, Mwari? Hamubudi Mwari, nehondo dzedu.
10Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
11Tibatsirei pamudzivisi wedu; nekuti kubatsira kwavanhu hakuna maturo.
11Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12Muna Mwari tichaita noumhare, nekuti ndiye achatsikira vadzivisi vedu pasi.
12Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
