¹Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

¹Rerekai nzeve dzenyu, Jehovha, ndipindurei; nekuti ndiri murombo nomushaiwi.

²Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.

²Chengetai mweya wangu; nekuti ndiri mudikamwi wenyu; Haiwa Mwari wangu, ponesai muranda wenyu anovimba nemi.

³Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.

³Ndinzwirei tsitsi, Ishe, nekuti ndinodana kwamuri zuva rose.

⁴Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

⁴Fadzai mweya womuranda wenyu, nekuti ndinosimudzira mweya wangu kwamuri Ishe wangu.

⁵For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

⁵Nekuti imi, Ishe makanaka, munofarira kukangamwira, Mune tsitsi zhinji kuna vose vanodana kwamuri.

⁶Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.

⁶Rerekerai nzeve yenyu, Jehovha kumunyengetero wangu; Teererai inzwi rokukumbira kwangu.

⁷In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.

⁷Pazuva rokutambudzika kwangu ndichadana kwamuri, nekuti muchandipindura.

⁸There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.

⁸Hapana akafanana nemwi pakati pavamwari, Ishe, Uye hapana mabasa akafanana namabasa enyu.

⁹All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.

⁹Ndudzi dzose dzamakaita dzichauya kuzonamata pamberi penyu, Ishe, Dzicharumbidza zita renyu.

¹⁰For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.

¹¹Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.

¹²I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forevermore.

¹²Ndichakurumbidzai, Ishe Mwari wangu, nomoyo wangu wose, Ndicharumbidza zita renyu nokusingaperi.

¹³For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

¹³Nekuti tsitsi dzenyu ihuru kwandiri; Makarwira mweya wangu pagomba rakadzika-dzika.

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.

¹⁴Mwari, vanozvikudza vakandimukira, Ungano yavanhu, vanomanikidza, vakatsvaka mweya wangu, Havana kukuisai pamberi pavo.

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

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

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

¹⁶Ringirai kwandiri, mundinzwire tsitsi; Ipai muranda wenyu simba renyu, Muponese mwanakomana womurandakadzi wenyu.

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.

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