Psalms 64

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndinzweiwo, imi Mwari, pandinotaura chichemo changu; dzivirirai upenyu hwangu pakutyisidzira kwavavengi.

2 You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

Ndivanzei pakurangana kwavakaipa, ndibve pazhowezhowe yeungano yavaiti vezvakaipa.

3 who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

Vanorodza ndimi dzavo seminondo, uye vanonanga namashoko avo semiseve inouraya.

4 to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

Vanopfura vari pakavanda munhu asina mhosva; vanomupfura pakarepo, vasingatyi.

5 They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

Vanokurudzira mumwe nomumwe wavo pakufunga zvakaipa, vanotaura pamusoro pokuteya misungo yavo, uye vanoti, “Ndianiko achaiona?”

6 They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

Vanorangana kusaruramisira vachiti, “Tafunga zano rakakwana!” Zvirokwazvo mwoyo nomurangariro womunhu zvinonyengera.

7 and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

Asi Mwari achavapfura nemiseve; pakarepo vachawira pasi.

8 and their tongues have set him at nothing, all that saw them were troubled;

Achaita kuti ndimi dzavo dzivashandukire, uye achavaisa pakuparadzwa; vose vanovaona vachavadzungudzira misoro vachivaseka.

9 and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

Marudzi ose avanhu achatya; achaparidza mabasa aMwari, uye achafungisisa zvaakaita.

10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.

Vakarurama ngavafare muna Jehovha uye vavande maari; vose vakarurama mumwoyo ngavamurumbidze!
