1Matenga anoparidzira kubwinya kwaMwari; Uye denga rinoratidza basa ramaoko ake.
1The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2Musi mumwe unotaurira mumwe musi, Uye usiku humwe hunopupurira humwe usiku njere.
2Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3Hapana kutaura, kana mashoko; inzwi razvo harinzwiki.
3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4Rwonzi rwazvo rwakasvika kunyika yose, Namashoko azvo kumugumo wenyika. Akagadzirira zuva tende mukati mazvo.
4Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5Iro rakafanana nechikomba chinobuda mumba macho, Rinofara semhare kumhanya nenzira yaro.
5which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6Kubuda kwaro kunobva pamugumo wedenga, Kupota kwaro kunosvika pakuguma kwarozve; Hakune chinhu chakavanzirwa kupisa kwaro.
6His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7Murayiro waJehovha wakakwana, unoponesa mweya; Chipupuriro chaJehovha ndechechokwadi, chinopa vasina mano njere.
7Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
8Zvinorairwa naJehovha zvakarurama, zvinofadza moyo; Murau waJehovha wakaisvonaka, unovhenekera meso.
8Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9Kutya Jehovha kwakanaka, kunogara nokusingaperi; Zvakatongwa naJehovha ndezvechokwadi, zvakarurama kwazvo kwazvo.
9The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10Zvinofanira kutsvakwa kukunda ndarama, zvirokwazvo kukunda ndarama zhinji yakaisvonaka; zvinotapirawo kupfuura huchi nomusvi wamazinga ohuchi.
10More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11Uyezve, muranda wenyu unonyeverwa nazvo; Pakuzvichengeta panomubayiro mukuru. Kana kuri kutsauka, ndiani angakuziva?
11Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
12Ndianiko angaziva zvitadzo? Ndisunungurei imwi pazvitadzo zvakavanzika.
12Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
13Dzoraiwo muranda wenyu pazvivi zvokuzvikudza; Ngazvirege kuva nesimba pamusoro pangu; ipapo ndichava akakwana, Handingavi nemhosva yokudarika kukuru.
13Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
14Mashoko omuromo wangu nokurangarira komoyo wangu ngazvifadze pamberi penyu, imwi Jehovha, dombo rangu, nomudzikunuri wangu.
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
