1Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
1Jehovha anobata ushe; nyika ngaifare kwazvo; Zviwi zvizhinji ngazvifare.
2Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
2Makore nerima zvinomukomberedza; Kururama nokururamisa ndidzo nheyo dzechigaro chake choushe.
3A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
3Moto unotungamira pamberi pake, Uchipisa vadzivisi vake pamativi ose.
4His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
4Mheni dzake dzakavheneka nyika yose; Pasi pakaona, ndokubvunda.
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
5Makomo akanyauka senamo pamberi paJehovha, Pamberi paShe wapasi pose.
6The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
6Kudenga-denga kunoparidza kururama kwake, Ndudzi dzose dzakaona kubwinya kwake.
7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
7Vose, vanoshumira mifananidzo yakaveziwa, vanonyadziswa, Ivo vanozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvifananidzo; Namatai kwaari, imwi vamwari vose
8Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Yahweh.
8Ziyoni rakanzwa ndokufara, Navakunda vaJudha vakafara kwazvo; Nokuda kwezvamakatonga, imwi Jehovha.
9For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
9nekuti imwi Jehovha, muri kumusoro-soro kwapasi pose; Makakwirira kupfuura vamwari vose.
10You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
10Vengai zvakaipa, imwi munoda Jehovha; Iye anochengeta mweya yavatsvene vake; Unovarwira paruoko rwawakaipa.
11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
11Chiedza chinodzvarirwa wakarurama, Nomufaro vane moyo yakarurama.
12Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
12Farai munaJehovha, imwi vakarurama; Vongai pakurangarira utsvene hwake.
