1Jehovha, makafarira nyika yenyu; Makadzosa Jakove pakutapwa.
1To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2Makakangamwira kutadza kwavanhu venyu, Makafukidza zvivi zvavo zvose.
2Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3Makabvisa kutsamwa kwenyu kose; Makazvidzora pahasha dzenyu dzakanyanya.
3Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.
4Tidzosei, Mwari muponesi wedu, Gumisai hasha dzenyu kwatiri.
4Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
5Ko mucharamba makatitsamwira nokusingaperi? Muchasvitsa kutsamwa kwenyu kumarudzi namarudzi here?
5To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
6imwi hamungatiraramisizve here, Kuti vanhu venyu vafare nemi?
6Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
7Tiratidzei tsitsi dzenyu, Jehovha, Mutipe ruponeso rwenyu.
7Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
8Ndichanzwa zvichataura Mwari Jehovha; nekuti achataura rugare kuvanhu vake nokuvatsvene vake; Asi ngavarege kudzokerazve kuupenzi.
8I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
9Zvirokwazvo kuponesa kwake kuri pedo navanomutya; Kuti kubwinya kugare munyika yedu.
9Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.
10Tsitsi nechokwadi zvakasangana; Kururama norugare zvakatsvodana.
10Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11chokwadi chinomera pasi; Kururama kwakatarira pasi kuri kudenga.
11Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
12Zvirokwazvo, Jehovha uchapa zvinhu zvakanaka; Nyika yedu ichabereka zvibereko zvayo.
12Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
13Kururama kuchamutungamirira; Kuchenjerere kunzira dzetsoka dzake.
13Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
