¹Imwi Mwari munofanira kurumbidzwa paZiyoni; imwi munofanira kuitirwa mhiko.

¹{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song.} Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God, in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

²imwi vokunzwa munyengetero, Vanhu vose vanofanira kuuya kwamuri.

²O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

³Mashoko akaipa ondikunda; Kana kuri kudarika kwedu muchakudzima imi.

³Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

⁴Akaropafadzwa munhu wamunosanangura, wamunoswededza kwamuri, Kuti agare pavazhe dzenyu; Isu tichagutiswa nounaki bweimba yenyu, Iyo nzvimbo tsvene yetemberi yenyu.

⁴Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of thy holy temple.

⁵Mukururama kwenyu munotipindura nezvinhu zvinotyisa, imwi Mwari muponesi wedu; imwi chivimbo chamativi ose apasi, Navari kure pagungwa;

⁵By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...

⁶Iye, anoteya makomo nesimba rake; Iye, akasungwa chiuno nesimba;

⁶Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;

⁷Iye, unonyaradza kutinhira kwamakungwa, iko kutinhira kwamafungo awo, Nokupopota kwavanhu.

⁷Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

⁸Naivo vagere kumigumo vanotya zviratidzo zvenyu; Munofadza mabudiro amangwanani naamadeko.

⁸And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

⁹Munoshanyira pasi, munopadiridza, Munopafumisa kwazvo; Rwizi rwaMwari ruzere nemvura; Munovagadzirira zviyo, kana magadzira pasi saizvozvo.

⁹Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:

¹⁰Munozadza mihoronga yapo kwazvo; Munoenzanisa mipanje yapo; Munopanyorovesa nemvura inopfunha; Munoropafadza zvinomera zvapo.

¹⁰Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.

¹¹Munoshongedza mwaka nekorona younaki bwenyu; Makwara enyu anodonha mafuta.

¹¹Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness:

¹²Anodonha pamafuro erenje; Zvikomo zvinozvisunga nomufaro.

¹²They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with gladness.

¹³Mafuro akafukidzwa namapoka ezvipfuwo; Uye mipatawo yakafukidzwa nezviyo; Zvinopururudza, zvichiimbawo.

¹³The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
