Psalms 91

1 The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.

Uyo anogara panzvimbo yokuvanda yeWokumusoro-soro achazorora mumumvuri weWamasimba Ose.

2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.

Ndichati pamusoro paJehovha, “Ndiye utiziro hwangu nenhare yangu, Mwari wangu, wandinovimba naye.”

3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.

Zvirokwazvo achakuponesa parugombe rwomuteyi napadenda rinouraya.

4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.

Achakufukidza neminhenga yake, uye uchawana utiziro pasi pamapapiro ake; kutendeka kwake kuchava nhoo yako norusvingo rwako.

5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.

Haungatyiswi nokuvhundutsa kwousiku, kana museve unopfurwa masikati,

6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.

kana hosha inofamba murima, kana denda rinoparadza masikati.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.

Chiuru chingawa parutivi rwako, zviuru gumi kurudyi pako, asi hazvingaswederi kwauri.

8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

Uchangozviona nameso ako chete, uye uchaona kurangwa kwavakaipa.

9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.

Kana ukaita Wokumusoro-soro ugaro hwako, kunyange Jehovha, iye utiziro hwangu,

10 There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

ipapo hapana chakaipa chichakuwira, hakuna njodzi ichasvika patende rako.

11 For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.

Nokuti acharayira vatumwa vake pamusoro pako, kuti vakuchengete panzira dzako dzose;

12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

vachakusimudza mumaoko avo, kuti rutsoka rwako rurege kugumburwa padombo.

13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.

Uchatsika pamusoro peshumba napamusoro pechiva; uchatsika-tsika shumba huru nenyoka.

14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

“Nokuti anondida,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “neni ndichamununura; ndichamudzivirira, nokuti anoziva zita rangu.

15 He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

Achadana kwandiri, uye ndichamupindura; ndichava naye pakutambudzika, ndichamurwira uye ndichamukudza.

16 I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.

Ndichamugutsa noupenyu hurefu, uye ndichamuratidza ruponeso rwangu.”
