¹⁴God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them.

¹⁵Asi imi, Ishe muri Mwari une tsitsi nenyasha, Hamukurumidzi kutsamwa, mune tsitsi zhinji nechokwadi.

¹⁵But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

¹⁶Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your handmaid.

¹⁷Ndiratidzei chiratidzo mundiitire zvakanaka; Kuti vanondivenga vazvione, vanyadziswe, nekuti imwi Jehovha, makandibatsira nokundinyaradza.

¹⁷Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.
