Psalms 56

1 To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaririro e“Njiva paMiouki iri kure.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo rweMikitami. Paakabatwa navaFiristia paGati. Ndinzwirei ngoni, imi Mwari, nokuti vanhu vanondidzinganisa nehasha; zuva rose vanorwa neni.

2 Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.

Vavengi vangu vanondidzinganisa zuva rose; vazhinji vanorwa neni mukuzvikudza kwavo.

3 In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

Pandinenge ndotya, ndichavimba nemi.

4 In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?

Muna Mwari, iye ane shoko randinorumbidza, muna Mwari ndinovimba; handichazotyi. Ko, munhu anofa angandiitei?

5 All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

Zuva rose vanomonyorora mashoko angu; vanogara vachirangana kundikuvadza.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.

Vanorangana, vanovandira, vanocherechedza mafambiro angu, vachishuva kundiuraya.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

Ngavasapunyuka savasina mhaka; koromorerai ndudzi pasi mukutsamwa kwenyu imi Mwari.

8 Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Nyorai kuchema kwangu; isai misodzi yangu parugwaro rwenyu, ko, hazvina kuiswa muzvinyorwa zvenyu here?

9 Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for God is for me.

Ipapo vavengi vangu vachadzokera shure pandinodanidzira kuti ndibatsirwe. Nechinhu ichi, ndichaziva kuti Mwari ari kurutivi rwangu.

10 In God will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.

Muna Mwari, iye ane shoko randinorumbidza, muna Jehovha, ane shoko randinorumbidza,

11 In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

muna Mwari ndinovimba; handichazotyi chinhu. Ko, munhu angandiitei?

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee.

Ndinosungwa nemhiko kwamuri, imi Mwari; ndichakuvigirai zvipo zvangu zvokuvonga.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Nokuti makandirwira parufu, uye netsoka dzangu pakugumburwa, kuti ndifambe pamberi penyu muchiedza choupenyu.
