Psalms 16
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
Mikitami raDhavhidhi. Ndichengetedzei, imi Mwari, nokuti ndinovanda mamuri.
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
Ndakati kuna Jehovha, “Ndimi Ishe wangu; kunze kwenyu handina chinhu chakanaka.”
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
Kana vari vatsvene vari panyika, ndivo vakaisvonaka vandinofarira chose.
4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
Kuchema kuchawedzerwa, kwaavo vanomhanyira vamwe vamwari. Handichazodiri zvipiriso zvavo zveropa zvinodururwa kana kuisa mazita avo pamiromo yangu.
5 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
Jehovha, makandigovera mugove wangu nomukombe wangu; mukaita kuti mugove wangu uchengetedzeke.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
Ndakayererwa miganhu panzvimbo yakanaka; zvirokwazvo ndine nhaka inofadza.
7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Ndicharumbidza Jehovha, anondipa zano; kunyange usiku mwoyo wangu unondirayira.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
Ndakaisa Jehovha pamberi pangu nguva dzose. Nokuti ari kurudyi rwangu, handingatongozungunuswi.
9 Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
Naizvozvo mwoyo wangu unofara uye rurimi rwangu runopururudza; muviri wanguwo uchazorora zvakanaka,
nokuti imi hamuzondisiyi muguva, kana kurega Mutsvene wenyu achiona kuora. (Sheol h7585)
11 You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
Makandizivisa nzira youpenyu; muchandizadza nomufaro uri pamberi penyu, nezvinofadza zvisingaperi muruoko rwenyu rworudyi.
