Psalms 64

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

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

2 Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

Ndivanzei pakurangana kwavakaipa, ndibve pazhowezhowe yeungano yavaiti vezvakaipa.

3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

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

4 That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

5 They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

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

6 They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

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

7 But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

Asi Mwari achavapfura nemiseve; pakarepo vachawira pasi.

8 So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

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

9 And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

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

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

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