1Farisai munaJehovha, imwi vakarurama; Kurumbidza kwakafanira vakarurama.
1Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.
2Vongai Jehovha nembira; Muimbirei nziyo dzokurumbidza nomutengeramwa une hungiso dzine gumi.
2Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3Muimbirei rwiyo rutsva; Ridzai zvakanaka nokuridza kukuru.
3Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.
4nekuti shoko raJehovha rakarurama, Anoita zvose nokutendeka.
4For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is [done] in faithfulness.
5Iye anoda kururama nokururamisa; Nyika izere nounyoro hwaJehovha.
5He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.
6Kudenga-denga kwakaitwa neshoko raJehovha, Uye hondo dzose dzoko nokufema komuromo wake.
6By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7Anounganidza mvura zhinji yegungwa pamwechete somurwi; Anochengeta mvura zhinji dzakadzika mumatura.
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
8Nyika yose ngaitye Jehovha; Vose vagere panyika ngavadedere pamberi pake.
8Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9nekuti iye akataura, zvikaitika; Akaraira, zvikamira zvikasimba.
9For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10Jehovha anoparadza zano ravahedheni; Mifungo yendudzi dzavanhu anoishaisa simba.
10Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11Zano raJehovha rakasimba nokusingaperi, Nendangariro dzomoyo wake kusvikira kundudzi dzose.
11The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Rwakakomborerwa rudzi rwakaita Jehovha Mwari warwo; Rudzi rwaakatsaura kuva nhaka yake.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13Jehovha anotarira ari kudenga; Anoona vanakomana vose vavanhu;
13Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
14Anotarira ari ipapo paagere Achiona vanhu vose vagere panyika.
14From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
15Iye anoumba moyo yavo vose, Anocherekedza mabasa avo ose
15He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.
16Hapana mambo anoponeswa nokuwanda kwehondo; Mhare hairwirwi nesimba guru.
16There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17Bhiza haribatsiri pakukunda; Harigoni kurwira nesimba raro guru.
17A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.
18Tarirai, ziso raJehovha rinotarira vanomutya, Ivo, vanorindira tsitsi dzake;
18Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;
19Kurwira mweya wavo parufu, Nokuvararamisa panguva yenzara.
19To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
20Mweya yedu yakarindira Jehovha; Ndiye mubatsiri wedu nenhovo yedu.
20Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.
21Nekuti moyo yedu ichafara kwazvo maari, Zvatakavimba nezita rake dzvene.
21For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.
22Tsitsi dzenyu ngadzive nesu, Jehovha, Sezvatakakurindirai.
22Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee.
