1Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.
1Inzwai zvakarurama Jehovha, muteerere kuchema kwangu; Rerekerai nzeve dzenyu kumunyengetero wangu, unobva pamiromo isinganyengeri.
2Let my sentence come forth from your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.
2Kutongwa kwangu ngakubve pamberi penyu; Meso enyu ngaatarire zvakarurama.
3You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.
3Makaidza moyo wangu; makandishanyira usiku; Makandiidza, mukasawana kufunga kwakaipa mandiri Ndakazvisunga kuti muromo wangu urege kudarika.
4As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
4Kana ari mabasa avanhu; neshoko remiromo yenyu, Ini ndakanzvenga nzira dzomuparadzi.
5My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.
5Kutsika kwangu kwakarambira panzira dzenyu, Tsoka dzangu hadzina kutedzemuka.
6I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.
6Ini ndakadana kwamuri, nekuti muchandipindura, imwi Mwari; Rerekerai nzeve dzenyu kwandiri, munzwe kutaura kwangu.
7Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
7Ratidzai nokushamisa rudo rwenyu rweunyoro, imwi, munoponesa vanovimba nemi, imwi munoponesa noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, ava vanovimba nemwi Kuna vanovamukira simba.
8Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
8Ndichengetei semboni, mukunda weziso; ndivanzei pasi pomumvuri wamapapiro enyu,
9from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.
9Kunavakaipa, vanondiparadza, Ivo vavengi vangu vakaipa, vanondikomba.
10They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.
10Vakadzivira moyo yavo;
11They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
11Vanotaura vachikudza nemiromo yavo. Vakatikomba zvino pakufamba kwedu; Vanocherekedza nameso avo kuti vatiwisire pasi.
12He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
12Vakafanana neshumba inokarira kuparadza, somwana weshumba inovandira panzvimbo dzakavanda.
13Arise, Yahweh, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;
13Simukai, Jehovha, Mirai pamberi pake, mumuwisire pasi; Rwirai mweya wangu nomunondo wenyu kuna vakaipa;
14from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.
14Kuvanhu, noruoko rwenyu imwi Jehovha, Kuvanhu venyika, vanomugove wavo paupenyu uhwu, Vamunozadza dumbu ravo nefuma yenyu; Vana vana vazhinji, Vanosiira vacheche vavo zvakasara zvefuma yavo.
15As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
15Ini ndichaona chiso chenyu pakururama; Ndichaguta nomufananidzo wenyu pakumuka kwangu.
