Mapisarema 101

1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndichaimba nezvorudo rwenyu nokururamisira kwenyu; kwamuri, imi Jehovha, ndichaimba nziyo dzokurumbidza.

A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.

2 Ndichangwarira kurarama upenyu husina chahungapomerwa. Muchauya riniko kwandiri? Ndichafamba mumba mangu nomwoyo usina chaungapomerwa.

I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

3 Handingaisi chinhu chakaipa pamberi pangu. Ndinovenga mabasa avanhu vasingatendi; haanganamatiri kwandiri.

I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

4 Vanhu vane mwoyo yakatsauka vachava kure neni; handichazovi nechokuita nechakaipa.

A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

5 Ani naani anoitira muvakidzani wake makuhwa pakavanda, iyeye ndiye wandichaita kuti anyarare; ani naani ane meso anozvikudza nomwoyo unozvikudza, iyeye handingamuregi akadaro.

Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.

6 Meso angu achava pamusoro pavakatendeka vari munyika, kuti vagare neni; iye ane mafambiro asina chaangapomerwa, achandishumira.

Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

7 Hakuna munhu anonyengera achagara mumba mangu; hakuna munhu anotaura nhema achamira pamberi pangu.

He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.

8 Mangwanani oga oga ndichaita kuti vakaipa vose vari panyika vanyarare; ndichauraya vaiti vezvakaipa vose, vabve muguta raJehovha.

At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
