¹Mwari anomira paungano yaMwari; Anotonga pakati pavamwari.

¹— A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

²Muchatonga zvisina kururama kusvikira rinhiko, Muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa?

²Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.

³Tongerai mhaka dzavarombo nenherera; Ruramisirai vanotambudzika navanoshaiwa chose.

³Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

⁴Sunungurai varombo navashaiwi Varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

⁴Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

⁵Havazivi, havanzwisisi; Vanofamba-famba murima; Nheyo dzose dzapasi dzinozununguka.

⁵They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

⁶Ndakati, Muri vamwari, Mose muri vanakomana veWekumusoro-soro.

⁶I — I have said, `Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,

⁷Kunyange zvakadaro muchafa savanhu, Muchafa somumwe wamachinda.

⁷But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

⁸Simukai Mwari, mutongere pasi; nekuti ndudzi dzose dzichava nhaka yenyu.

⁸Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
