1Kurumidzai, Mwari, kundirwira; Kurumidzai kundibatsira, Jehovha.
1{To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance.} Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.
2Ngavanyadziswe, ngavazvidzwe Ivo vanotsvaka mweya wangu; Ngavadzoserwe shure, vashovorwe Ivo vanofarira kundikuvadza.
2Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;
3Ngavadzoserwe shure nokuda kwenyadzi dzavo Ivo vanoti, Hekani, hekani! Waro!
3Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!
4Vose vanokutsvakai ngavafarise vave nomufaro mamuri; Vanoda kuponesa kwenyu ngavarambe vachiti, Mwari ngaakudzwe!
4Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!
5Asi ini ndiri murombo nomushaiwi; Kurumidzai muuye kwandiri, Mwari; imwi muri mubatsiri wangu nomurwiri wangu; Regai kunonoka, Jehovha.
5But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
