¹Ndichakukudzai zvikuru, Jehovha, nekuti makandisimudza, Hamuna kutendera vavengi vangu kufara nekuda kwangu.

¹I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

²Jehovha, Mwari wangu, Ndakachema kwamuri, imwi mukandiponesa.

²Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.

³Jehovha, makabudisa mweya wangu paSheori; Makachengeta upenyu hwangu, kuti ndirege kuburukira kugomba.

³Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. . You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

⁴Imbirai Jehovha nziyo dzokurumbidza, imwi vatsvene vake, Muvonge kana muchirangarira zita rake dzvene.

⁴Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.

⁵nekuti kutsamwa kwake kuripo chinguva chiduku; Asi tsitsi dzake ndedzoupenyu hwose. Kuchema kungavapo madekwana, Asi mufaro unosvika mangwanani.

⁵For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

⁶Kana ndirini, ndakati pakufara kwangu, Handingatongozununguswi.

⁶As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”

⁷Imwi Jehovha, netsitsi dzenyu makamisa gomo rangu nesimba; Makavanza chiso chenyu; ini ndikatambudzika.

⁷You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

⁸Ndakachema kwamuri, Jehovha; Uye ndakakumbira kuna Jehovha;

⁸I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication:

⁹Ropa rangu ringandibatsireiko, kana ndichaburukira kugomba? Guruva ringakurumbidzai here? Ringadudzira chokwadi chenyu here?

⁹“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

¹⁰Inzwai Jehovha, mundinzwirei tsitsi; Jehovha, ivai mubatsiri wangu.

¹⁰Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”

¹¹Makashandura kuchema kwangu kukava kutamba; Makasunungura gumbo rangu, mukasunga chiuno changu nomufaro;

¹¹You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

¹²Kuti mweya wangu ukuimbirei nziyo dzokurumbidza, urege kunyarara. Jehovha Mwari wangu, ndichakuvongai nokusingaperi.

¹²To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
