1Pakutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha, Iye akandipindura.
1In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.
2Rwirai mweya wangu, Jehovha, pamiromo inoreva nhema, Naparurimi runonyengedzera.
2Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3Iwe uchapiweiko, chinyi chichawedzerwa kwauri, Iwe rurimi runonyengedzera?
3What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
4Miseve inopinza yeanesimba, Namazimbe anopfuta omurara.
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5Ndine ropa rakaipa zvandiri mutorwa paMesheki, Zvandigere pamatende eKedhari!
5Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6Mweya wangu wakagara nguva refu Neanovenga rugare.
6My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
7Ini ndinoda rugare; Asi kana ndichitaura, ivo vanotsvaka kurwa.
7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
