¹Jehovha mukuru, anofanira kurumbidzwa kwazvo, Muguta raMwari wedu, mugomo rake dzvene.

¹A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

²Rakanaka pakukwirira kwaro, mufaro wapasi pose, Ndizvo zvakaita gomo reZiyoni, pamativi okumusoro, Ndizvo zvakaita guta raMambo mukuru.

²Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King.

³Padzimba dzaro dzamambo Mwari wakazviratidza kuti ndiye nhare.

³God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

⁴nekuti tarirai, madzimambo akaungana, Akapfuura pamwechete.

⁴For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.

⁵Vakariona, vakashamiswa; Vakavhunduka, vakakurumidza kutiza.

⁵They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.

⁶Vakabatwapo nokudedera; Nokurwadziwa, somukadzi anopona.

⁶Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.

⁷Munoputsa zvikepe zveTarishishi, Nemhepo, inobva mabvazuva.

⁷With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

⁸Sezvatakanzwa, ndizvo zvatakaona Paguta raJehovha wehondo, iro guta raMwari wedu; Mwari acharisimbisa nokusingaperi.

⁸As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah

⁹Takafunga unyoro bwenyu, Mwari, Mukati metemberi yenyu.

⁹We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.

¹⁰Sezvakaita zita renyu, Mwari, Ndizvo zvakaitawo kurumbidzwa kwenyu kusvikira kumigumo yapasi pose; Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi ruzere nokururama.

¹⁰As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹Gomo reZiyoni ngarifare, Vakunda vaJudha ngavafare kwazvo, Nokuda kwezvamakatonga.

¹¹Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.

¹²Poteredzai Ziyoni, mupote naro, Muverenge shongwe dzaro.

¹²Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;

¹³Cherekedzai zvakanaka rusvingo rwaro, Fambai pakati pedzimba dzaro dzamambo; Kuti muzoudza vazukuru venyu vanotevera.

¹³Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.

¹⁴Nekuti Mwari ndiye Mwari wedu nokusingaperi-peri; Iye achava muperekedzi wedu kusvikira pakufa.

¹⁴For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide [even] unto death.
