1Hareruya! Rumbidza Jehovha, iwe mweya wangu!
1Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.
2Ndicharumbidza Jehovha ndichiri mupenyu; Ndichaimbira Mwari wangu nziyo dzokurumbidza, ini ndichiripo.
2I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
3Regai kuvimba namachinda, Kana noMwanakomana womunhu, asingagoni kubatsira.
3Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.
4Mweya wake unobuda, iye ndokudzokera pasi pake; Nezuva iro mano ake anopera.
4His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
5Anomufaro munhu uyo kana Mwari waJakove ari mubatsiri wake, Anotarira kuna Jehovha Mwari wake.
5O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,
6Iye, akaita kudenga napasi, Negungwa, nezvose zviri mukati mazvo; Iye, anoramba akatendeka nokusingaperi;
6Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,
7Anoruramisira vanomanikidzwa; Anopa vane nzara zvokudya; Jehovha anosunungura vasungwa;
7Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
8Jehovha anosvinudza meso amapofu; Jehovha anosimudza vakakotamiswa pasi; Jehovha anoda vakarurama;
8Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,
9Jehovha anochengeta vatorwa; Jehovha anotsigira nherera nechirikadzi; Asi nzira yavakaipa anoipesanisa.
9Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.
10Jehovha achabata ushe nokusingaperi, Mwari wako, iwe Ziyoni, kusvikira kumarudzi namarudzi. Hareruya!
10Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
