1Ndirwirei Mwari, nezita renyu, Nditongerei nesimba renyu.
1{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?} O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.
2Inzwai munyengetero wangu, Mwari; Rerekerai nzeve yenyu munzwe mashoko omuromo wangu.
2O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3nekuti vatorwa vakandimukira, Vamanikidzi vakatsvaka mweya wangu. Havana kuisa Mwari pamberi pavo.
3For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4Tarirai, Mwari ndiye mubatsiri wangu. Ishe ari pakati pavanotsigira mweya wangu.
4Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.
5Achatsiva zvakaipa kuvavengi vangu; Muvaparadze nokutendeka kwenyu.
5He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.
6Ndichakubayirai nechipiriso chokungopa nokuzvidira, Ndichavonga zita renyu, Jehovha, nekuti rakanaka.
6I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.
7Nekuti akandirwira pakutambudzika kose; Ziso rangu rakaona kukundwa kwavavengi vangu.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
