Psalms 56

1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' — A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaririro e“Njiva paMiouki iri kure.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo rweMikitami. Paakabatwa navaFiristia paGati. Ndinzwirei ngoni, imi Mwari, nokuti vanhu vanondidzinganisa nehasha; zuva rose vanorwa neni.

2 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,

Vavengi vangu vanondidzinganisa zuva rose; vazhinji vanorwa neni mukuzvikudza kwavo.

3 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.

Pandinenge ndotya, ndichavimba nemi.

4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.

Muna Mwari, iye ane shoko randinorumbidza, muna Mwari ndinovimba; handichazotyi. Ko, munhu anofa angandiitei?

5 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,

Zuva rose vanomonyorora mashoko angu; vanogara vachirangana kundikuvadza.

6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

Vanorangana, vanovandira, vanocherechedza mafambiro angu, vachishuva kundiuraya.

7 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.

Ngavasapunyuka savasina mhaka; koromorerai ndudzi pasi mukutsamwa kwenyu imi Mwari.

8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou — place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?

Nyorai kuchema kwangu; isai misodzi yangu parugwaro rwenyu, ko, hazvina kuiswa muzvinyorwa zvenyu here?

9 Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

Ipapo vavengi vangu vachadzokera shure pandinodanidzira kuti ndibatsirwe. Nechinhu ichi, ndichaziva kuti Mwari ari kurutivi rwangu.

10 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.

Muna Mwari, iye ane shoko randinorumbidza, muna Jehovha, ane shoko randinorumbidza,

11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,

muna Mwari ndinovimba; handichazotyi chinhu. Ko, munhu angandiitei?

12 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.

Ndinosungwa nemhiko kwamuri, imi Mwari; ndichakuvigirai zvipo zvangu zvokuvonga.

13 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!

Nokuti makandirwira parufu, uye netsoka dzangu pakugumburwa, kuti ndifambe pamberi penyu muchiedza choupenyu.
