1Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.
1Wakakomborerwa ane hanya navarombo Jehovha achamurwira nomusi wezvakaipa.
2Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.
2Jehovha achamuchengeta nokumuraramisa, achakomborerwa panyika; Hamungamuisi pakuda kwavavengi vake,
3Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
3Jehovha achapindura nhovo yourwere; Munoshandura nhovo dzake dzose pakurwara kwake.
4I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
4Ini ndakati, Jehovha, ndinzwirei tsitsi; Poresai mweya wangu; nekuti ndakakutadzirai.
5My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”
5Vavengi vangu vanotaura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu, vachiti, Uchagofa rinhiko, zita rake rirove?
6If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
6Kana mumwe achiuya kuzondiona, anotaura zvisina maturo; moyo wake unozviunganidzira zvakaipa; Kana obuda kumwe, anozviparidza.
7All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
7Vose, vanondivenga, vanoita zeve-zeve pamwechete pamusoro pangu; Vanorangana kundikuvadza,
8“An evil disease,” they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
8Chinhu chakaipa chakamunamatira ndizvo zvavanotaura; Zvino zvaavata pasi, haachazomukizve.
9Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.
9Haiwa, kunyange murume youshamwari hwangu, wandaivimba naye, aidya zvokudya zvangu, Naiye andisimudzira chichitsinho chake.
10But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
10Asi imwi Jehovha, ndinzwirei tsitsi, mundisimudzei, Kuti ndivatsive.
11By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.
11Ndinoziviswa nechinhu ichi kuti munofadzwa neni, nekuti muvengi wangu haandikundi.
12As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
12Kana ndirini munonditsigira pakururama kwangu, Munondiisa pamberi penyu nokusingaperi.
13Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen. BOOK II
13Jehovha, Mwari waIsiraeri, ngaavongwe, Kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi Ameni, zvirokwazvo Ameni.
