1How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
1Jehovha muchandikangamwa nokusingaperi kusvikira rinhi? Muchandivanzira chiso chenyu kusvikira rinhiko?
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
2Ndichafunga mano mumweya mangu kusvikira rinhi, Ndine shungu pamoyo pangu zuva nezuva? Muvengi wangu achandikurira kusvikira rinhi?
3Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
3Rangarirai, mundipindure, Jehovha Mwari wangu; Vhenekerai meso angu, ndirege kuvata hope dzokufa;
4Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
4Muvengi wangu arege kuti, Ndamukunda; Vadzivisi vangu varege kufara kana ndichizununguka.
5But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
5Asi ndakavimba nenyasha dzenyu; moyo wangu uchafara nokuponesa kwenyu;
6I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.
6Ndichaimbira Jehovha, nekuti akandiitira zvakanaka.
