¹Wakakomborerwa uyo kudarika kwake kwakakangamwirwa, akafukidzirwa zvivi zvake

¹By David. — An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

²Akakomborerwa munhu asingaverengerwi zvakaipa naJehovha; asina kunyengera pamweya wake.

²O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

³Panguva yandakaramba ndinyerere, mafupa angu akasakara nokuvovora kwangu zuva rose.

³When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.

⁴nekuti ruoko rwenyu rwakanga rwuchirema pamusoro pangu masikati novusiku; Unyoro hwangu hwakashandurwa hukava kuoma kwechirimo.

⁴When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.

⁵Ndakakuzivisai chakaipa changu, handina kuvanza chakaipa changu; Ndakati,ndichareurura kudarika kwangu kuna Jehovha; Imwi makandikangamwira kuipa kwechivi changu.

⁵My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,` And Thou — Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.

⁶Saka vose vanotya Mwari ngavanyengetere kwamuri panguva yamunowanikwa, zvirokwazvo kana mvura ichikukura, hasvikiri kwaari.

⁶For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.

⁷Ndimi chivando changu; muchandichengeta ndirege kupinda pakutambudzika. Muchandikomberedza nenziyo dzokurwira.

⁷Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.

⁸Ndichakudzidzisa nekukuraira nzira yaunofanira kufamba nayo; Ndichakupa njere neziso rangu, riri pamusoro pako.

⁸I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.

⁹Regai kuva sebhiza, kana sehesera zvisinganzwisisi. Zvinofanira kufambiswa nerwauro netomu namakashu azvo, Hazvingazodi kuswedera kwauri.

⁹Be ye not as a horse — as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.

¹⁰Akaipa achava nenjodzi zhinji; Asi anovimba naJehovha achakombwa netsitsi.

¹⁰Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.

¹¹Farai muna Jehovha, mufarisise, imwi makarurama;Pururudzai nomufaro, imimakachena pamoyo.

¹¹Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
