1Ndinovimba naJehovha; Munoreva seiko kumweya wangu, muchiti, Tizira kugomo rako seshiri?
1{To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.} In Jehovah have I put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain?
2Nokuti, tarira, vakaipa vanobwembura uta, Vanogadzira museve wavo parukungiso, Kuti vafure anomoyo wakarurama parima.
2For behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may in darkness shoot at the upright in heart.
3Kana nheyo dzakaparadzwa, Akarurama angaiteiko?
3If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?
4Jehovha uri mutemberi yake tsvene, Iye Jehovha, chigaro chake choushe chiri kudenga; Meso ake anotarira, mafungiro ameso ake anoidza vana vavanhu.
4Jehovah [is] in the temple of his holiness; Jehovah, -- his throne is in the heavens: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.
5Jehovha anoidza vakarurama; Asi mweya wake unovenga wakaipa neanomanikidza.
5Jehovah trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth.
6Achanisira misungo pamusoro pavakaipa; Moto nesuriferi nemhepo inopisa, ndiwo uchava mukombe wavo wavakagoverwa.
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone; and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7Nekuti Jehovha akarurama; anoda zvakarurama; Vakarurama vachaona chiso chake.
7For righteous is Jehovah; he loveth righteousness, his countenance doth behold the upright.
