¹Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.

¹Inzwai mashoko angu Jehovha,Rangarirai kufunga komoyo wangu.

²Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.

²teererai inzwi rokuchema kwangu, imwi Mambo wangu naMwari wangu; nekuti ndinonyengetera kwamuri.

³Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

³Jehovha, muchanzwa inzwi rangu mangwanani;Mangwanani ndichakurongedzerai munyengetero wangu,ndichirindira.

⁴For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.

⁴Nekuti hamuzi Mwari anofarira zvakaipa, munhu, akashata, haangagari nemi.

⁵The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

⁵Munhu anozvikudza haangamiriri pamberi penyu; Munovenga vose vanoita zvakaipa.

⁶You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

⁶Muchaparadza anoreva nhema; Jehovha anosema munhu anoteura ropa neanonyengera.

⁷But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

⁷Asi kana ndirini, ndichapinda mumba menyu nekuwanda kwevunyoro bwenyu, Ndichanamata ndakaringira kutemberi yenyu tsvene ndichikutyai.

⁸Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

⁸Ndifambisei, Jehovha, mukururama kwenyu nekuda kwavavengi vangu; Gadzirai nzira yenyu pamberi pangu.

⁹For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

⁹Nekuti hapana kutendeka pamiromo yavo; Mukati mavo makashata-shata; huro dzavo guva rakashama; Vanobata kumeso nerurimi rwavo.

¹⁰Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.

¹⁰Muvapei, mhosva, Jehovha ngavawe namano avo;Nokuti vakakumukirai.

¹¹But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

¹¹Asi vose vanovimba nemwi ngavafare, Ngavadanidzire nomufaro nguva dzose,nokuti imwi munovadzitira; Vose vanoda zita renyu ngavafare nemi.

¹²For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.

¹²Nekuti mucharopafadza akarurama; imwi Jehovha, muchamukomberedza nenyasha senhovo.
