¹Imwi Mwari munofanira kurumbidzwa paZiyoni; imwi munofanira kuitirwa mhiko.

¹To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence — praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.

²imwi vokunzwa munyengetero, Vanhu vose vanofanira kuuya kwamuri.

²Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.

³Mashoko akaipa ondikunda; Kana kuri kudarika kwedu muchakudzima imi.

³Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost cover them.

⁴Akaropafadzwa munhu wamunosanangura, wamunoswededza kwamuri, Kuti agare pavazhe dzenyu; Isu tichagutiswa nounaki bweimba yenyu, Iyo nzvimbo tsvene yetemberi yenyu.

⁴O the happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.

⁵Mukururama kwenyu munotipindura nezvinhu zvinotyisa, imwi Mwari muponesi wedu; imwi chivimbo chamativi ose apasi, Navari kure pagungwa;

⁵By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

⁶Iye, anoteya makomo nesimba rake; Iye, akasungwa chiuno nesimba;

⁶Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,

⁷Iye, unonyaradza kutinhira kwamakungwa, iko kutinhira kwamafungo awo, Nokupopota kwavanhu.

⁷Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

⁸Naivo vagere kumigumo vanotya zviratidzo zvenyu; Munofadza mabudiro amangwanani naamadeko.

⁸And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.

⁹Munoshanyira pasi, munopadiridza, Munopafumisa kwazvo; Rwizi rwaMwari ruzere nemvura; Munovagadzirira zviyo, kana magadzira pasi saizvozvo.

⁹Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,

¹⁰Munozadza mihoronga yapo kwazvo; Munoenzanisa mipanje yapo; Munopanyorovesa nemvura inopfunha; Munoropafadza zvinomera zvapo.

¹⁰Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.

¹¹Munoshongedza mwaka nekorona younaki bwenyu; Makwara enyu anodonha mafuta.

¹¹Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.

¹²Anodonha pamafuro erenje; Zvikomo zvinozvisunga nomufaro.

¹²Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.

¹³Mafuro akafukidzwa namapoka ezvipfuwo; Uye mipatawo yakafukidzwa nezviyo; Zvinopururudza, zvichiimbawo.

¹³Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
