1 Vongai Jehovha, danai kuzita rake; zivisai zvaakaita pakati pendudzi.
Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works amongst the heathen.
2 Muimbirei, muimbirei nziyo dzokurumbidza; rondedzerai mabasa ake ose anoshamisa.
Sing to him, yes, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
3 Ngarikudzwe zita rake dzvene; mwoyo yavanotsvaka Jehovha ngaifare.
Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Tarirai kuna Jehovha nokusimba rake; tsvakai chiso chake nguva dzose.
Seek you the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
5 Rangarirai zvishamiso zvaakaita, mabasa ake, nezvaakatonga zvaakareva,
Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth;
6 imi vana vaAbhurahama muranda wake, haiwa vanakomana vaJakobho, vasanangurwa vake.
[you] seed of Abraam, his servants, [you] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 Ndiye Jehovha Mwari wedu; kutonga kwake kuri munyika yose.
He is the Lord our God; his judgements are in all the earth.
8 Anorangarira sungano yake nokusingaperi, iro shoko raakarayira, kuchiuru chezvizvarwa,
He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generation:
9 sungano yaakaita naAbhurahama, mhiko yaakapika kuna Isaka.
which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
10 Akaisimbisa kuna Jakobho somutemo, nokuna Israeri sesungano isingaperi achiti,
And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
11 “Ndichapa nyika yeKenani kwauri somugove wenhaka yako.”
saying To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
12 Pavaiva vashoma pakuwanda, zvirokwazvo vari vashoma, uye vari vaeni mairi,
when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
13 vakadzungaira vachibva kuno rumwe rudzi kusvikira kuno rumwe rudzi. Kubva kuno humwe ushe vachienda kuno humwe.
And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.
14 Haana kutendera munhu kuvadzvinyirira; akatuka madzimambo nokuda kwavo achiti,
He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
15 “Musabata vazodziwa vangu; musaitira vaprofita vangu zvakaipa.”
[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
16 Akadana nzara panyika ikaparadza zvose zvaiuyisa zvokudya;
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.
17 uye akatuma munhu pamberi pavo, iye Josefa, akatengeswa senhapwa.
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 Vakakuvadza tsoka dzake nezvisungo mutsipa wake ukaiswa mumatare esimbi,
They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
19 kusvikira zvaakareva zvazadziswa, kusvikira shoko raJehovha raratidza kutendeka kwake.
until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
20 Mambo akatuma shoko kuti asunungurwe, vatongi vavanhu vakamuregedza.
The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
21 Akamuita tenzi weimba yake, nomutongi wepfuma yake yose,
He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
22 kuti arayire machinda ake sezvaaida uye adzidzise vakuru vake njere.

23 Ipapo Israeri akapinda muIjipiti; Jakobho akagara somweni munyika yaHamu.
Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.
24 Jehovha akawanza vanhu vake chose; akavaita vazhinji kwazvo kupinda vavengi vavo,
And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.

44 akavapa nyika dzendudzi, vakagara nhaka yakanga yatamburirwa navamwe,
and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;
