¹Matenga anoparidzira kubwinya kwaMwari; Uye denga rinoratidza basa ramaoko ake.

¹{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The heavens declare the glory of ùGod; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.

²Musi mumwe unotaurira mumwe musi, Uye usiku humwe hunopupurira humwe usiku njere.

²Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

³Hapana kutaura, kana mashoko; inzwi razvo harinzwiki.

³There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.

⁴Rwonzi rwazvo rwakasvika kunyika yose, Namashoko azvo kumugumo wenyika. Akagadzirira zuva tende mukati mazvo.

⁴Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,

⁵Iro rakafanana nechikomba chinobuda mumba macho, Rinofara semhare kumhanya nenzira yaro.

⁵And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.

⁶Kubuda kwaro kunobva pamugumo wedenga, Kupota kwaro kunosvika pakuguma kwarozve; Hakune chinhu chakavanzirwa kupisa kwaro.

⁶His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

⁷Murayiro waJehovha wakakwana, unoponesa mweya; Chipupuriro chaJehovha ndechechokwadi, chinopa vasina mano njere.

⁷The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;

⁸Zvinorairwa naJehovha zvakarurama, zvinofadza moyo; Murau waJehovha wakaisvonaka, unovhenekera meso.

⁸The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;

⁹Kutya Jehovha kwakanaka, kunogara nokusingaperi; Zvakatongwa naJehovha ndezvechokwadi, zvakarurama kwazvo kwazvo.

⁹The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:

¹⁰Zvinofanira kutsvakwa kukunda ndarama, zvirokwazvo kukunda ndarama zhinji yakaisvonaka; zvinotapirawo kupfuura huchi nomusvi wamazinga ohuchi.

¹⁰They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.

¹¹Uyezve, muranda wenyu unonyeverwa nazvo; Pakuzvichengeta panomubayiro mukuru. Kana kuri kutsauka, ndiani angakuziva?

¹¹Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.

¹²Ndianiko angaziva zvitadzo? Ndisunungurei imwi pazvitadzo zvakavanzika.

¹²Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults].

¹³Dzoraiwo muranda wenyu pazvivi zvokuzvikudza; Ngazvirege kuva nesimba pamusoro pangu; ipapo ndichava akakwana, Handingavi nemhosva yokudarika kukuru.

¹³Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.

¹⁴Mashoko omuromo wangu nokurangarira komoyo wangu ngazvifadze pamberi penyu, imwi Jehovha, dombo rangu, nomudzikunuri wangu.

¹⁴Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
