¹It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High;

¹Zvakanaka kuvonga Jehovha, Nokuimbira zita renyu nziyo dzokurumbidza, imwi Wekumusoro-soro;

²to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

²Kuparidza unyoro bwenyu mangwanani, Nokutendeka kwenyu usiku hwose,

³with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

³Nechinoridzwa chine hungiso gumi, nomutengeramwa; Nenzwi rakanaka pambira.

⁴For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

⁴nekuti imi, Jehovha, makandifadza nezvamakaita; Ndichafara kwazvo namabasa amaoko enyu.

⁵How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

⁵Mabasa enyu akakura seiko, Jehovha! Mifungo yenyu yakadzika kwazvo.

⁶A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:

⁶Asina njere haazvizivi; Benzi harinzwisisi izvozvi,

⁷though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

⁷Kana vakaipa vachimera souswa, Uye kana vaiti vose vezvakaipa vachikura; Zvinoitwa kuti vaparadzwe nokusingaperi.

⁸Asi imwi Jehovha muri kumusoro nokusingaperi.

⁹For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

⁹Nekuti tarirai, Jehovha, vavengi venyu, nekuti tarirai, Jehovha, vavengi venyu vachaparara; Vaiti vose vezvakaipa vachaparadzirwa.

¹⁰But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

¹⁰Asi runyanga rwangu makarusimudza sorunyanga rwenyati; Ndakazodzwa namafuta matsva.

¹¹My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

¹¹Ziso rangu rakaona zvakaitirwa vavengi vangu, Nzeve dzangu dzakanzwa zvakaitirwa vaiti vezvakaipa, vakandimukira.

¹²The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹²Wakarurama uchamera somuchindwe; Achakura somusidhari paRebhanoni.

¹³They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.

¹³Vakasimwa mumba maJehovha Vachakura muvazhe dzaMwari wedu.

¹⁴They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

¹⁴Vacharamba vachibereka zvibereko pakukwegura kwavo; Vachava vanyoro navatsva;

¹⁵to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

¹⁵Kuti vaparidze kuti Jehovha akarurama; Ndiye dombo rangu, hapana chinhu chisina kururama maari.
