1Ndichadana kwamuri, Jehovha; Dombo rangu, regai kundinyararira; zvimwe, kana mukandinyararira, ndingafanana navanoburukira kugomba.
1To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2Inzwai inzwi remikumbiro yangu, kana ndichichema kwamuri, Kana ndichisimudzira maoko angu kunzvimbo yomukati yeimba yenyu tsvene.
2Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3Musandibvuta pamwechete navakaipa, Navanoita zvakashata; Ivo vanotaura rugare kuna vavanogara navo, Asi zvakashata zviri mumoyo mavo.
3Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
4Muvape zvakaenzana nebasa ravo, uye zvakaenzana nezvakaipa zvavakaita, Muvape zvakaenzana nokubata kwamaoko avo; Muvaitire sezvakavafanira.
4Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
5Zvavasina kurangarira mabasa aJehovha, Nezvaakabata namaoko ake, Iye achavaputsa, akasavavakazve.
5Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
6Jehovha ngaavongwe, nekuti akanzwa inzwi rokukumbira kwangu.
6Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7Jehovha ndiye simba rangu nenhovo yangu; moyo wangu wakavimba naye, ndikabatsirwa; Saka moyo wangu unofara kwazvo, Ndichamurumbidza norwiyo rwangu.
7Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
8Jehovha ndiye simba ravo, Ndiye nhare yokuponesa kumuzodziwa wake.
8Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9Ponesai vanhu venyu, muropafadze nhaka yenyu; Muvafudzewo, muvatakure nokusingaperi.
9Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
