¹Zvirokwazvo, mweya wangu unongorindira Mwari; Kwaari ndiko kunobva kuponeswa kwangu.

¹{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

²Ndiye oga dombo rangu nomuponesi wangu; Ndiye shongwe yangu yakakwirira; handingazununguswi zvikuru.

²He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.

³Muchavavarira munhu kusvikira rinhiko, Kuti mumuuraye imwi mose, Sorusvingo runoda kuwa, noruzhowa runotsveyama?

³How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

⁴Vanongorangana kuti vamusundire pasi abve paukuru hwake; Vanofarira nhema; Vanoropafadza nomuromo wavo, asi vanotuka mumoyo mavo.

⁴They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.

⁵Mweya wangu, rindira Mwari zvirokwazvo nekuti ndinomutarira iye.

⁵Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

⁶Ndiye oga dombo rangu noruponeso rwangu; Ndiye shongwe yangu yakakwirira; handingazununguswi.

⁶He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

⁷Kuna Mwari ndiko kunokuponeswa kwangu nokukudzwa kwangu; Dombo resimba rangu noutiziro hwangu zviri kuna Mwari.

⁷With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

⁸Vimbai naye nguva dzose, imwi vanhu; Dururai moyo yenyu pamberi pake; Mwari ndiye utiziro bwedu.

⁸Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.

⁹Zvirokwazvo vanhu vasingakudzwi mweya chete, uye vanhu vanokudzwa inhema; Pakuyerwa havaremi; Vose pamwechete vakareruka kupfuura mweya.

⁹Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.

¹⁰Regai kuvimba nokumanikidza, Regai kuzvikudza pamusoro pokupambara; Kana fuma ichiwanda, regai kuinamatira nomoyo.

¹⁰Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

¹¹Mwari akataura kamwechete, Ndakazvinzwa kaviri; Kuti simba nderaMwari;

¹¹Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.

¹²Netsitsiwo ndedzenyu, Ishe; nekuti munoitira munhu mumwe nomumwe sezvaakabata.

¹²And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.
