¹moyo wangu wakasimba, Mwari; Ndichaimba, zvirokwazvo, ndichaimba nziyo dzokurumbidza, nomweya wangu wose.

¹{A Song, a Psalm of David.} My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.

²Muka iwe mutengeramwa nembira; Ini ndimene ndichamuka mangwanani.

²Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.

³Ndichakuvongai Jehovha, pakati pendudzi dzavanhu; Ndichakuimbirai nziyo dzokurumbidza pakati pavahedheni.

³I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:

⁴nekuti tsitsi dzenyu ihuru kumusoro kokudenga-denga, Uye zvokwadi yenyu inosvikira kudenga rose.

⁴For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.

⁵imwi mukudzwe Mwari, kumusoro kokudenga-denga; Kurumbidzwa kwenyu ngakuve kumusoro kwapasi pose.

⁵Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.

⁶Kuti vadikamwi venyu varwirwe, Tiponesei noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, mutipindure.

⁶That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

⁷Mwari akataura pautsvene hwake, achiti, Ndichafara kwazvo; Ndichaganhura Shekemu, ndichayera mupata weSukoti.

⁷God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

⁸Giriyadhi ndeyangu naManase ndeyangu; Efuremuwo inhaviro yomusoro wangu; Judha ndiyo tsvimbo yangu youshe.

⁸Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

⁹Moabhu ndiwo mudziyo wangu wokushambidzira; Pamusoro peEdhomu ndipo pandichakandira shangu yangu; Ndichapururudza nokuda kwaFirisitia.

⁹Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.

¹⁰Ndianiko achandiisa muguta rakakombwa namasvingo? Ndianiko achandiperekedza ndiende Edhomu?

¹⁰Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

¹¹Hamuna kutirasha here, Mwari? Hamubudi Mwari, nehondo dzedu.

¹¹[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

¹²Tibatsirei pamudzivisi wedu; nekuti kubatsira kwavanhu hakuna maturo.

¹²Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

¹³MunaMwari tichaita noumhare; nekuti ndiye achatsika vadzivisi vedu pasi.

¹³Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
