1Kurumidzai, Mwari, kundirwira; Kurumidzai kundibatsira, Jehovha.
1For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David; to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.
2Ngavanyadziswe, ngavazvidzwe Ivo vanotsvaka mweya wangu; Ngavadzoserwe shure, vashovorwe Ivo vanofarira kundikuvadza.
2Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.
3Ngavadzoserwe shure nokuda kwenyadzi dzavo Ivo vanoti, Hekani, hekani! Waro!
3Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.
4Vose vanokutsvakai ngavafarise vave nomufaro mamuri; Vanoda kuponesa kwenyu ngavarambe vachiti, Mwari ngaakudzwe!
4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5Asi ini ndiri murombo nomushaiwi; Kurumidzai muuye kwandiri, Mwari; imwi muri mubatsiri wangu nomurwiri wangu; Regai kunonoka, Jehovha.
5But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.
