¹Jehovha mukuru, anofanira kurumbidzwa kwazvo, Muguta raMwari wedu, mugomo rake dzvene.

¹{A Song; a Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.} Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the hill of his holiness.

²Rakanaka pakukwirira kwaro, mufaro wapasi pose, Ndizvo zvakaita gomo reZiyoni, pamativi okumusoro, Ndizvo zvakaita guta raMambo mukuru.

²Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

³Padzimba dzaro dzamambo Mwari wakazviratidza kuti ndiye nhare.

³God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.

⁴nekuti tarirai, madzimambo akaungana, Akapfuura pamwechete.

⁴For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;

⁵Vakariona, vakashamiswa; Vakavhunduka, vakakurumidza kutiza.

⁵They saw, -- so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:

⁶Vakabatwapo nokudedera; Nokurwadziwa, somukadzi anopona.

⁶Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.

⁷Munoputsa zvikepe zveTarishishi, Nemhepo, inobva mabvazuva.

⁷With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.

⁸Sezvatakanzwa, ndizvo zvatakaona Paguta raJehovha wehondo, iro guta raMwari wedu; Mwari acharisimbisa nokusingaperi.

⁸As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. Selah.

⁹Takafunga unyoro bwenyu, Mwari, Mukati metemberi yenyu.

⁹We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.

¹⁰Sezvakaita zita renyu, Mwari, Ndizvo zvakaitawo kurumbidzwa kwenyu kusvikira kumigumo yapasi pose; Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi ruzere nokururama.

¹⁰According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹Gomo reZiyoni ngarifare, Vakunda vaJudha ngavafare kwazvo, Nokuda kwezvamakatonga.

¹¹Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

¹²Poteredzai Ziyoni, mupote naro, Muverenge shongwe dzaro.

¹²Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;

¹³Cherekedzai zvakanaka rusvingo rwaro, Fambai pakati pedzimba dzaro dzamambo; Kuti muzoudza vazukuru venyu vanotevera.

¹³Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.

¹⁴Nekuti Mwari ndiye Mwari wedu nokusingaperi-peri; Iye achava muperekedzi wedu kusvikira pakufa.

¹⁴For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
