1Ndirwirei Mwari, nezita renyu, Nditongerei nesimba renyu.
1For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.
2Inzwai munyengetero wangu, Mwari; Rerekerai nzeve yenyu munzwe mashoko omuromo wangu.
2Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3nekuti vatorwa vakandimukira, Vamanikidzi vakatsvaka mweya wangu. Havana kuisa Mwari pamberi pavo.
3For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah
4Tarirai, Mwari ndiye mubatsiri wangu. Ishe ari pakati pavanotsigira mweya wangu.
4Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.
5Achatsiva zvakaipa kuvavengi vangu; Muvaparadze nokutendeka kwenyu.
5He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.
6Ndichakubayirai nechipiriso chokungopa nokuzvidira, Ndichavonga zita renyu, Jehovha, nekuti rakanaka.
6With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.
7Nekuti akandirwira pakutambudzika kose; Ziso rangu rakaona kukundwa kwavavengi vangu.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
