¹Rumbidza Jehovha, mweya wangu! Jehovha Mwari wangu, muri mukuru kwazvo; Makafukidzwa nokukudzwa noumambo.

¹Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;

²imwi munozvifukidza nechiedza sechisimiro; Munotatamura kudenga-denga somucheka wetende;

²Covering thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain; --

³Ndiye anoteya matanda edzimba dzake mumvura; Anoita makore ngoro yake; Anofamba pamusoro pamapapiro emhepo

³Who layeth the beams of his upper chambers in the waters, who maketh clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind;

⁴Anoita mhepo nhume dzake; Nomoto, unopfuta, vashumiri vake;

⁴Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flame of fire.

⁵Akateya nheyo dzapasi; Kuti parege kuzununguswa nokusingaperi,

⁵He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever.

⁶Makapafukidza nemvura yakadzika sechisimiro; Mvura zhinji yakamira pamusoro pamakomo,

⁶Thou hadst covered it with the deep, as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains:

⁷Makati muchituka ikatiza; inzwi rokutinhira kwenyu rakati richinzwika, ikachimbidzika kuenda-

⁷At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away; --

⁸Makomo akakwira, mipata yakaderera- ikaenda kunzvimbo yamakaigadzirira,

⁸The mountains rose, the valleys sank, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them; --

⁹Makaitarira muganhu, kuti irege kudarika; Kuti irege kudzoka kuzofukidza pasizve.

⁹Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

¹⁰Anotuma matsime mumipata; Mvura inoyerera napakati pamakomo;

¹⁰He sendeth the springs into the valleys: they run among the mountains;

¹¹Anomwisa mhuka dzose dzesango; Mbizi dzinopedza nyota yadzo.

¹¹They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.

¹²Shiri dzokudenga dzinogara paari, Dzinorira pakati pamatavi.

¹²The birds of heaven dwell by them; they give forth their voice from among the branches.

¹³Anodiridza makomo ari padzimba dzake; Pasi panogutiswa nechibereko chamabasa enyu.

¹³He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

¹⁴Anomeresa uswa bwezvipfuwo, Nemiriwo, inobatsira vanhu; Kuti abudise zvokudya pasi;

¹⁴He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth,

¹⁵Newaini inofadza moyo womunhu, Namafuta anobwinyisa chiso chake, Nechingwa chinosimbisa moyo womunhu.

¹⁵And wine which gladdeneth the heart of man; making [his] face shine with oil; and with bread he strengtheneth man's heart.

¹⁶Miti yaJehovha inoguta; Iyo misidhari yeRebhanoni yaakasima;

¹⁶The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,

¹⁷Apo panovaka shiri matendere adzo, Kana riri zimudo, miti yemisipiresi ndiyo imba yaro.

¹⁷Where the birds make their nests; [as for] the stork, the fir trees are her house.

¹⁸Makomo marefu ndeetsoma; Matombo ndihwo utiziro bwembira.

¹⁸The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs, a refuge for the rock-badgers.

¹⁹Akatara mwedzi kuti uratidze nguva; Zuva rinoziva nguva yokuvira kwaro.

¹⁹He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth its going down.

²⁰Munoita rima, usiku ndokuvapo; Panguva iyo mhuka dzose dzedondo dzinobuda.

²⁰Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth:

²¹Vana veshumba vanoomba vachitsvaka zvavangauraya, Vanotsvaka zvokudya zvavo kuna Mwari.

²¹The young lions roar after the prey, and to seek their food from ùGod.

²²Kana zuva richibuda, dzinoenda hadzo, Dzichindovata mumapako adzo.

²²The sun ariseth, they retreat, and lay them down in their dens.

²³Zvino munhu obudira kubasa rake. Nokumurimo wake kusvikira madekwana.

²³Man goeth forth unto his work, and to his labour until the evening.

²⁴Haiwa Jehovha, mabasa enyu mazhinji sei! Makaaita ose nenjere; Pasi pazere nefuma yenyu.

²⁴How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

²⁵Hero gungwa, rakakura ibamhi, Mukati maro mune zvinhu zvinokambaira zvisingagoni kuverengwa, Zvipenyu zviduku nezvikuru.

²⁵Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great.

²⁶Hezvo zvikepe, zvinofamba; Heyo ngwena yamakaumba, kuti itambe mariri.

²⁶There go the ships; [there] that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein.

²⁷Izvi zvose zvinokumirirai, Kuti muzvipe zvokudya zvazvo nenguva yakafanira.

²⁷These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season:

²⁸Zvamunozvipa imi, ndizvo zvazvinounganidza; Munotadzanura ruoko rwenyu, izvo ndokuguta nezvakanaka.

²⁸That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.

²⁹Munovanza chiso chenyu, izvo ndokuvhunduswa; Munozvitorera mweya wazvo, izvo ndokufa, Zvichidzokera kuguruva razvo.

²⁹Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust.

³⁰Munotuma mweya wenyu, izvo ndokusikwa; Munovandudza chiso chevhu.

³⁰Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.

³¹Kubwinya kwaJehovha ngakugare nokusingaperi; Jehovha ngaafarire mabasa ake;

³¹The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works.

³²Iye anotarira pasi, ipo ndokubvunda; Unobata makomo, iwo ndokubudisa utsi.

³²He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

³³Ndichaimbira Jehovha panguva yose youpenyu hwangu; Ndichaimbira Mwari wangu nziyo dzokurumbidza ndichiripo.

³³I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.

³⁴Kurangarira kwangu ngakumufadze; Ndichafara kwazvo muna Jehovha.

³⁴My meditation shall be pleasant unto him; I will rejoice in Jehovah.

³⁵Vatadzi ngavaparadzwe pasi, Navakaipa ngavarege kuzovapo. Rumbidzai Jehovha, mweya wangu. Hareruya

³⁵Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!
