¹Mwari anozikamwa pakati paJudha; Zita rake iguru pakati palsiraeri.

¹{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.} In Judah is God known, his name is great in Israel;

²PaSaremiwo ndipo pane tabhenakeri yake, NapaZiyoni ugaro hwake.

²And in Salem is his tent, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

³Ndipo paakavhuna miseve youta; Nenhovo, nomunondo, nokurwa.

³There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. Selah.

⁴imwi munokubwinya, makanaka kwazvo, Kupfuura makomo ezvakapambwa.

⁴More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.

⁵Vakatsunga pamoyo, vakapambwa, vakavata hope dzavo; Pakati pavarume vane simba hakuna akawana maoko ake.

⁵The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.

⁶Pakutuka kwenyu, Mwari waJakove, Ngoro nebhiza zvose zvinobatwa nehope dzorufu.

⁶At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

⁷Imi, iyemi, munofanira kutyiwa; Ndianiko angamira pamberi penyu kana matsamwa?

⁷Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?

⁸Makanzwisa vanhu kutonga kwenyu kuchibva kudenga; Pasi pakatya, pakanyarara,

⁸Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still,

⁹Panguva yokumuka kwaMwari kuzotonga, Kuti aponese vanyoro vose vapasi.

⁹When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

¹⁰Zvirokwazvo, kutsamwa kwavanhu kuchakurumbidzai; Munozvisunga chiuno nokutsamwa kwakasara.

¹⁰For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself.

¹¹Pikai, muripire Jehovha Mwari wenyu; Vose vakamupoteredza ngavauye nezvipo kuna iye anofanira kutyiwa;

¹¹Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.

¹²Iye achagura mweya yamachinda; Anotyisa kwazvo madzimambo apasi.

¹²He cutteth off the spirit of princes; [he] is terrible to the kings of the earth.
