¹Jehovha ngaakupindure nomusi wokutambudzika; Zita raMwari waJakove ngarikuise pakakwirira;

¹To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

²Ngaakutumire rubatsiro runobva panzvimbo tsvene, akutsigire nesimba rinobva Ziyoni.

²He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

³Ngaarangarire zvipiriso zvako zvose, Agamuchire zvibayiro zvako zvinopiswa;

³He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.

⁴Ngaakupe zvinodikamwa nomoyo wako, Ngaaite sezvawakafunga.

⁴He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

⁵Tichafara kwazvo nokukunda kwenyu, Tichasimudza mireza yedu nezita raMwari wedu; Jehovha ngaaite zvose zvawakakumbira.

⁵We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

⁶Zvino ndinoziva kuti Jehovha anoponesa muzodziwa wake; Achamupindura ari kudenga kwake kutsvene Nesimba roruoko rwake rworudyi, rinoponesa.

⁶Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

⁷Vamwe vanovimba nengoro, vamwe namabhiza; Asi isu tichareva zita raJehovha Mwari wedu.

⁷Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

⁸Ivo vakotamiswa, vawira pasi; Asi isu tasimuka, timire zvakanaka.

⁸They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

⁹Ponesai, Jehovha; Mambo ngaatipindure kana tichidana.

⁹O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
