1Benzi rakati mumoyo maro, Mwari haako. Vakaora, vakabata mabasa anonyangadza; Hapana anoita zvakanaka.
1{To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.
2Jehovha ari kudenga, akatarira pasi kuvana vavanhu, Kuti aone kana akachenjera aripo, Anotsvaka Mwari.
2Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3Vakatsauka vose, vakasvibiswa pamwechete; Hapana anoita zvakanaka, kunyange nomumwe.
3They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.
4Ko vaiti vose vezvakaipa havana zivo here? Ivo vanodya vanhu vangu sezvavanodya chingwa, Vasingadani kuna Jehovha.
4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.
5Vakanga vachitya zvikuru ipapo; nekuti Mwari anogara parudzi rwavakarurama.
5There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6Munonyadzisa zano romurombo, Asi Jehovha ndiye utiziro hwake.
6Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] his refuge.
7Dai kuponeswa kwalsiraeri kwaibva paZiyoni! Kana Jehovha achidzosa vanhu vake pakutapwa, Ipapo Jakove achafarisisa kwazvo, naIsiraeri achafara.
7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
