Psalms 28

1 [A Psalm] of David. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent towards me: lest you be silent towards me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndinodana kwamuri, imi Jehovha Dombo rangu; musandinyararira. Nokuti kana mukaramba munyerere, ini ndichaita savaya vakaburukira kugomba.

2 Listen to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands towards your holy temple.

Inzwai kuchemera ngoni kwangu, sezvo ndichichemera rubatsiro kwamuri, sezvo ndichisimudza maoko angu ndakatarira kuNzvimbo yenyu Tsvene-tsvene.

3 Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.

Musandikwekweredzera kure pamwe chete navakaipa, naavo vanoita zvakaipa, vanotaura rugare navavakidzani vavo asi vakaviga zvakaipa mumwoyo yavo.

4 Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense to them.

Vatsivei pamabasa avo napabasa ravo rakaipa, vatsivei pane zvakaitwa namaoko avo; mugodzosera pamusoro pavo zvakavafanira.

5 Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, you shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.

Sezvo vasina hanya namabasa aJehovha uye nezvakaitwa namaoko ake, achavaputsira pasi akasavavakazve.

6 Blessed be the Lord, for he has listened to the voice of my petition.

Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, nokuti akanzwa kuchemera kwangu ngoni.

7 The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.

Jehovha ndiye simba rangu nenhoo yangu; mwoyo wangu unovimba naye, uye ndinobatsirwa. Mwoyo wangu unokwakuka nomufaro uye ndichamuvonga nenziyo.

8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.

Jehovha ndiye simba ravanhu vake, nhare yoruponeso yomuzodziwa wake.

9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.

Ponesai vanhu venyu uye muropafadze nhaka yenyu; ivai mufudzi wavo uye muvatakure nokusingaperi.
