¹Haiwa Jehovha, regai kuramba munyerere; Regai kuramba musingatauri, musanyarara Mwari.

¹A Song, — A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.

²nekuti tarirai, vavengi venyu vanoita bope; Vanokuvengai vakasimudza misoro yavo.

²For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,

³Vanofunga mano kuti vanyengere vanhu venyu, Vanorangana pamusoro pavakavanzwa nemi.

³Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.

⁴Vakati, Uyai, tivaparadze, varege kuzova rudzi; Kuti zita raIsiraeri rirege kuzorangarirwa.

⁴They have said, `Come, And we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.`

⁵Nekuti vakarangana nomoyo mumwe; Vanoita sungano kuzorwa nemi.

⁵For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,

⁶Matende aEdhomu navaIshimaeri, Moabhu navaHagari;

⁶Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,

⁷Gebhari, naAmoni, naAmareki; Firisitia pamwechete navagere Tire;

⁷Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,

⁸Asiriawo wakasangana navo; Vakabatsira vana vaRoti.

⁸Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah.

⁹Muvaitire sezvamakaitira Midhiani; NaSisera, naJabhini, paRwizi Kishoni;

⁹Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the stream Kishon.

¹⁰Ivo vakaparadzwa paEndori; Vakava mupfudze wapasi.

¹⁰They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!

¹¹Itai vakuru vavo saOrebhi naZeebhi; Zvirokwazvo machinda avo ose saZebha naZarimuna;

¹¹Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes,

¹²Ivo vakati, Ngatizvitorere Ugaro hwaMwari huve bwedu.

¹²Who have said, `Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.`

¹³Mwari wangu, muvaite seguruva rinondeyeswa nemhepo; Samakoto anodzingwa nemhepo.

¹³O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.

¹⁴Somoto unopisa dondo, Somurazvo womoto unopisa makomo;

¹⁴As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,

¹⁵Muvateverere saizvozvo nedutu renyu remhepo, Muvavhunduse nechamupupuri chenyu.

¹⁵So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.

¹⁶Fukidzai zviso zvavo nokunyadziswa; Kuti vatsvake zita renyu, Jehovha.

¹⁶Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.

¹⁷Ngavanyadziswe, vavhunduswe nokusingaperi; Zvirokwazvo, ngavanyadziswe vafe;

¹⁷They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost.

¹⁸Vazive kuti imwi moga, imwi munezita rinonzi Jehovha, Ndimi Wekumusoro-soro kumusoro kwepasi pose.

¹⁸And they know that Thou — (Thy name [is] Jehovah — by Thyself,) [Art] the Most High over all the earth!
