¹Ndichavonga Jehovha nomoyo wangu wose; Ndichaparidza mabasa enyu ose anoshamisa.

¹To the Overseer, `On the Death of Labben.` — A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,

²Ndichafara nokukufarirai zvikuru; Ndichaimbira zita renyu nziyo dzokurumbidza, imwi Wekumusoro-soro.

²I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.

³Kana vavengi vangu vachidzokera shure, Vanogumburwa nokupera pamberi penyu.

³In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

⁴Nekuti mandiruramisira mhosva yangu; Makagara pachigaro choushe muchitonga nokururama.

⁴For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.

⁵Makatuka vahedheni, makaparadza ani nani wakaipa, Makadzima zita ravo nokusingaperi-peri.

⁵Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.

⁶Vavengi vakapera, vakaparadzwa nokusingaperi; makaparadza maguta avo, Nechiyeudzo chawo chakaparara.

⁶O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

⁷Asi Jehovha agere ari mambo nokusingaperi; Akagadzira chigaro chake choushe kuti atonge.

⁷And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.

⁸Achatonga nyika nokururama, Achatonga vanhu zvakafanira.

⁸And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.

⁹Jehovha achava nhare yakasimba kuna vanomanikidzwa, Nhare yakasimba panguva yokutambudzika.

⁹And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

¹⁰Vanoziva zita renyu vachavimba nemi; nekuti imwi Jehovha hamuna kurasha vanokutsvakai.

¹⁰They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

¹¹Imbirai Jehovha nziyo dzokumurumbidza, iye agere paZiyoni; dudzirai zvaakaita pakati pendudzi dzavanhu.

¹¹Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,

¹²Kana achitsvaka ropa, anovarangarira; Haakangamwi kuchema kwavarombo.

¹²For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

¹³Ndinzwirei tsitsi, Jehovha; Tarirai, kumanikidzwa kwangu navanondivenga, imwi munondisimudza pamisuwo yorufu;

¹³Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

¹⁴Kuti ndiparidze kurumbidzwa kwenyu kose; Pamisuwo yomukunda weZiyoni, Ndichafarira kuponesa kwenyu.

¹⁴So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.

¹⁵Vahedheni vakanyura mugomba ravakachera; Rutsoka rwavo rwakabatwa mumumbure, wavakavanza.

¹⁵Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

¹⁶Jehovha wakazvizivisa; akatonga; akaipa wakateyiwa nebasa ramaoko ake.

¹⁶Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

¹⁷Vakaipa vachadzokera kuSheori, Ivo vahedheni vose, vakakangamwa Mwari.

¹⁷The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.

¹⁸Nekuti anoshaiwa haangakanganikwi nokusingaperi, Nokutarira komurombo hakungaperi nokusingaperi.

¹⁸For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.

¹⁹Simukai Jehovha; munhu ngaarege kukunda; Vahedheni ngavatongwe pamberi penyu.

¹⁹Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

²⁰Chivatyisai, Jehovha; Vahedheni ngavazive kuti vanongova vanhu.

²⁰Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! Selah.
