1Jehovha mukuru, anofanira kurumbidzwa kwazvo, Muguta raMwari wedu, mugomo rake dzvene.
1Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2Rakanaka pakukwirira kwaro, mufaro wapasi pose, Ndizvo zvakaita gomo reZiyoni, pamativi okumusoro, Ndizvo zvakaita guta raMambo mukuru.
2Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.
3Padzimba dzaro dzamambo Mwari wakazviratidza kuti ndiye nhare.
3God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
4nekuti tarirai, madzimambo akaungana, Akapfuura pamwechete.
4For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
5Vakariona, vakashamiswa; Vakavhunduka, vakakurumidza kutiza.
5They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
6Vakabatwapo nokudedera; Nokurwadziwa, somukadzi anopona.
6Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7Munoputsa zvikepe zveTarishishi, Nemhepo, inobva mabvazuva.
7With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
8Sezvatakanzwa, ndizvo zvatakaona Paguta raJehovha wehondo, iro guta raMwari wedu; Mwari acharisimbisa nokusingaperi.
8As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Yahweh of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.
9Takafunga unyoro bwenyu, Mwari, Mukati metemberi yenyu.
9We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.
10Sezvakaita zita renyu, Mwari, Ndizvo zvakaitawo kurumbidzwa kwenyu kusvikira kumigumo yapasi pose; Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi ruzere nokururama.
10As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11Gomo reZiyoni ngarifare, Vakunda vaJudha ngavafare kwazvo, Nokuda kwezvamakatonga.
11Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.
12Poteredzai Ziyoni, mupote naro, Muverenge shongwe dzaro.
12Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
13Cherekedzai zvakanaka rusvingo rwaro, Fambai pakati pedzimba dzaro dzamambo; Kuti muzoudza vazukuru venyu vanotevera.
13Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
14Nekuti Mwari ndiye Mwari wedu nokusingaperi-peri; Iye achava muperekedzi wedu kusvikira pakufa.
14For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
