1Kurumidzai, Mwari, kundirwira; Kurumidzai kundibatsira, Jehovha.
1To the Overseer, by David. — `To cause to remember.` O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.
2Ngavanyadziswe, ngavazvidzwe Ivo vanotsvaka mweya wangu; Ngavadzoserwe shure, vashovorwe Ivo vanofarira kundikuvadza.
2Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.
3Ngavadzoserwe shure nokuda kwenyadzi dzavo Ivo vanoti, Hekani, hekani! Waro!
3Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, `Aha, aha.`
4Vose vanokutsvakai ngavafarise vave nomufaro mamuri; Vanoda kuponesa kwenyu ngavarambe vachiti, Mwari ngaakudzwe!
4Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, `God is magnified.`
5Asi ini ndiri murombo nomushaiwi; Kurumidzai muuye kwandiri, Mwari; imwi muri mubatsiri wangu nomurwiri wangu; Regai kunonoka, Jehovha.
5And I [am] poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
