Psalms 16
1 Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
Mikitami raDhavhidhi. Ndichengetedzei, imi Mwari, nokuti ndinovanda mamuri.
2 O my soul, you have said unto the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you;
Ndakati kuna Jehovha, “Ndimi Ishe wangu; kunze kwenyu handina chinhu chakanaka.”
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
Kana vari vatsvene vari panyika, ndivo vakaisvonaka vandinofarira chose.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
Kuchema kuchawedzerwa, kwaavo vanomhanyira vamwe vamwari. Handichazodiri zvipiriso zvavo zveropa zvinodururwa kana kuisa mazita avo pamiromo yangu.
5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.
Jehovha, makandigovera mugove wangu nomukombe wangu; mukaita kuti mugove wangu uchengetedzeke.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Ndakayererwa miganhu panzvimbo yakanaka; zvirokwazvo ndine nhaka inofadza.
7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
Ndicharumbidza Jehovha, anondipa zano; kunyange usiku mwoyo wangu unondirayira.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Ndakaisa Jehovha pamberi pangu nguva dzose. Nokuti ari kurudyi rwangu, handingatongozungunuswi.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Naizvozvo mwoyo wangu unofara uye rurimi rwangu runopururudza; muviri wanguwo uchazorora zvakanaka,
10 For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
nokuti imi hamuzondisiyi muguva, kana kurega Mutsvene wenyu achiona kuora. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Makandizivisa nzira youpenyu; muchandizadza nomufaro uri pamberi penyu, nezvinofadza zvisingaperi muruoko rwenyu rworudyi.
