1Ndipindurei kana ndichidana,Mwari wokururama kwangu;Pakumanikidzwa kwangu makandiisa pakafarikana;ndinzwirei tsitsi, munzwe munyengetero wangu.
1{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.} When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
2Nhai vanakomana vavanhu kukudzwa kwangu kuchashandurwa kunyadziswa kusvikira rinhiko? Muchada zvisina maturo , nekutsvaka nhema kusvikira rinhi?
2Ye sons of men, till when is my glory [to be put] to shame? [How long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah.
3Asi zivai kuti Jehovha akazvitsaurira munhu ,anomuda Jehovha uchanzwa kana ndichidana kwaari.
3But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
4Ityai murege kutadza; Tauriranai nemoyo yenyu panhovo dzenyu,muti mwii.
4Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5Bayirai zvibayiro zvokururama, muvimbe naJehovha
5Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.
6Vazhinji variko vanoti,Ndianiko achatiratidza zvakanaka? Jehovha simudzirai pamusoro pedu chiedza chechiso chenyu.
6Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.
7makaisa mufaro mumoyo mangu,Unopfuura wavanhu kana zviyo zvavo newaini yavo zvawanzwa.
7Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.
8ndichavata pasi nerugare, ndibatwe nehope; nekuti ndimi moga Jehovha munondigarisa pakasimba.
8In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
