¹Zvakanaka kuvonga Jehovha, Nokuimbira zita renyu nziyo dzokurumbidza, imwi Wekumusoro-soro;

¹A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;

²Kuparidza unyoro bwenyu mangwanani, Nokutendeka kwenyu usiku hwose,

²To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

³Nechinoridzwa chine hungiso gumi, nomutengeramwa; Nenzwi rakanaka pambira.

³With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.

⁴nekuti imi, Jehovha, makandifadza nezvamakaita; Ndichafara kwazvo namabasa amaoko enyu.

⁴For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

⁵Mabasa enyu akakura seiko, Jehovha! Mifungo yenyu yakadzika kwazvo.

⁵How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.

⁶Asina njere haazvizivi; Benzi harinzwisisi izvozvi,

⁶A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:

⁷Kana vakaipa vachimera souswa, Uye kana vaiti vose vezvakaipa vachikura; Zvinoitwa kuti vaparadzwe nokusingaperi.

⁷When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

⁸Asi imwi Jehovha muri kumusoro nokusingaperi.

⁸But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

⁹Nekuti tarirai, Jehovha, vavengi venyu, nekuti tarirai, Jehovha, vavengi venyu vachaparara; Vaiti vose vezvakaipa vachaparadzirwa.

⁹For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

¹⁰Asi runyanga rwangu makarusimudza sorunyanga rwenyati; Ndakazodzwa namafuta matsva.

¹⁰But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.

¹¹Ziso rangu rakaona zvakaitirwa vavengi vangu, Nzeve dzangu dzakanzwa zvakaitirwa vaiti vezvakaipa, vakandimukira.

¹¹Mine eye also hath seen [my desire] on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard [my desire] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

¹²Wakarurama uchamera somuchindwe; Achakura somusidhari paRebhanoni.

¹²The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹³Vakasimwa mumba maJehovha Vachakura muvazhe dzaMwari wedu.

¹³They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

¹⁴Vacharamba vachibereka zvibereko pakukwegura kwavo; Vachava vanyoro navatsva;

¹⁴They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:

¹⁵Kuti vaparidze kuti Jehovha akarurama; Ndiye dombo rangu, hapana chinhu chisina kururama maari.

¹⁵To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
