¹Pururudzai kuna Mwari, imwi nyika dzose;

¹To the Overseer. — A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.

²Imbirai mukurumbira wezita rake; Rumbidzai kudzo yake.

²Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.

³Itiyi kuna Mwari, Mabasa enyu anotyisa sei! Vavengi venyu vachazviisa pasi penyu nemhaka youkuru bwesimba renyu.

³Say to God, `How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

⁴Pasi pose pachanamata kwamuri, Pachakuimbirai; Vachaimbira zita renyu.

⁴All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.` Selah.

⁵Uyai, muone mabasa aMwari; Anotyisa pane zvaanoitira vana vavanhu.

⁵Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

⁶Akashandura gungwa rikava nyika yakaoma; Vakayambuka rwizi netsoka; Ipapo takafara maari.

⁶He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.

⁷Anobata ushe nokusingaperi nesimba rake; Meso ake anocherekedza ndudzi; Vanomumukira ngavarege kuzvikudza.

⁷Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.

⁸Vongai Mwari, imwi vanhu, inzwi rokumurumbidza ngarinzwike;

⁸Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,

⁹Iye anopa mweya upenyu, Asingatenderi tsoka dzedu kuti dzitedzemuke.

⁹Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.

¹⁰nekuti imwi Mwari makatiidza; Makatiidza sezvinoidzwa sirivha.

¹⁰For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

¹¹Makatipinza pamumbure; Makatitakudza mutoro unorema pazviuno zvedu.

¹¹Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.

¹²Makafambisa vanhu pamusoro pemisoro yedu, Takapinda nomumoto nemvura; Asi makatibudisa kunzvimbo inezvakawanda.

¹²Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.

¹³Ndichapinda mumba menyu nezvipiriso zvinopiswa, Ndichakuitirai mhiko dzangu,

¹³I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

¹⁴Dzakarehwa nemiromo yangu, Dzakataurwa nomuromo wangu pakutambudzika kwangu.

¹⁴For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:

¹⁵Ndichakubayirai zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvezvakakora, Nezvinonhuhwira zvamakondobwe; Ndichabayira nzombe pamwechete nembudzi.

¹⁵`Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.` Selah.

¹⁶Uyai munzwe, imwi mose munotya Mwari, Ndichakududzirai zvaakaitira mweya wangu.

¹⁶Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

¹⁷Ndakachema kwaari nomuromo wangu, Akarumbidzwa zvikuru norurimi rwangu.

¹⁷Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.

¹⁸Kana ndikarangarira zvakaipa mumoyo mangu, Ishe haangandinzwi;

¹⁸Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.

¹⁹Asi zvirokwazvo Mwari akanzwa; Akateerera inzwi rokunyengetera kwangu.

¹⁹But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰Mwari ngaavongwe, Iye asina kuramba munyengetero wangu, kana kubvisa tsitsi yake kwandiri.

²⁰Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
