Psalms 17
1 The preier of Dauid. Lord, here thou my riytfulnesse; biholde thou my preier. Perseuye thou with eeris my preier; not maad in gileful lippis.
Munyengetero waDhavhidhi. Inzwai, imi Jehovha, mukumbiro wangu wakarurama; inzwai kuchema kwangu. Rerekerai nzeve yenyu kumunyengetero wangu, usingabvi pamiromo inonyengera.
2 Mi doom come `forth of thi cheer; thin iyen se equite.
Kururamiswa kwangu ngakubve kwamuri; meso enyu ngaaone zvakarurama.
3 Thou hast preued myn herte, and hast visitid in niyt; thou hast examynyd me bi fier, and wickidnesse is not foundun in me.
Kunyange mukaedza mwoyo wangu uye mukandiongorora usiku, kunyange mukandiedza, hamungawani chinhu; ndakazvisunga kuti muromo wangu urege kutadza.
4 That my mouth speke not the werkis of men; for the wordis of thi lippis Y haue kept harde weies.
Kana ari mabasa avanhu, neshoko remiromo yenyu, ndakanzvenga nzira dzouyo anoita nechisimba.
5 Make thou perfit my goyngis in thi pathis; that my steppis be not moued.
Nhambwe dzangu dzakarambira panzira dzenyu; tsoka dzangu hadzina kutedzemuka.
6 I criede, for thou, God, herdist me; bowe doun thin eere to me, and here thou my wordis.
Haiwa Mwari, ndinodana kwamuri, nokuti muchandipindura; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri, munzwe munyengetero wangu.
7 Make wondurful thi mercies; that makist saaf `men hopynge in thee.
Ratidzai kushamisa kworudo rwenyu rukuru, imi munoponesa noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, avo vanovanda vavengi vavo mamuri.
8 Kepe thou me as the appil of the iye; fro `men ayenstondynge thi riyt hond. Keuere thou me vndur the schadewe of thi wyngis;
Ndichengetei semboni yeziso renyu; ndivanzei pasi pomumvuri wamapapiro enyu,
9 fro the face of vnpitouse men, that han turmentid me. Myn enemyes han cumpassid my soule;
kubva kuno wakaipa anondirwisa, kubva kuvavengi vangu, vanoda kundiuraya, vakandikomberedza.
10 thei han closide togidere her fatnesse; the mouth of hem spak pride.
Vanodzivira mwoyo yavo yakavangarara, uye miromo yavo inotaura nokuzvikudza.
11 Thei castiden me forth, and han cumpassid me now; thei ordeyneden to bowe doun her iyen in to erthe.
Vakandironda, zvino vandikomba, vanocherechedza nameso avo kuti vandiwisire pasi.
12 Thei, as a lioun maad redi to prey, han take me; and as the whelp of a lioun dwellynge in hid places.
Vakaita seshumba ine nzara yechokudya, seshumba huru yakavandira pakavanda.
13 Lord, rise thou vp, bifor come thou hym, and disseyue thou hym; delyuere thou my lijf fro the `vnpitouse,
Haiwa, Jehovha, simukai, mirai pamberi pavo, vawisirei pasi; ndirwirei nomunondo wenyu pano wakaipa.
14 delyuere thou thi swerd fro the enemyes of thin hond. Lord, departe thou hem fro a fewe men of `the lond in the lijf of hem; her wombe is fillid of thin hid thingis. Thei ben fillid with sones; and thei leften her relifis to her litle children.
Haiwa, Jehovha, ndiponesei noruoko rwenyu kubva kuvanhu vakadai, kubva kuvanhu venyika ino vano mubayiro uri muupenyu huno. Munopedza nzara yaavo vamunoda; vanakomana vavo vane zvakawanda, uye vanounganidzira vana vavo pfuma.
15 But Y in riytfulnesse schal appere to thi siyt; Y schal be fillid, whanne thi glorie schal appere.
Zvino ini mukururama, ndichaona chiso chenyu; pandinomuka, ndichagutswa nokuona mufananidzo wenyu.
