Mapisarema 108
1 Rwiyo. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Mwoyo wangu wakasimba, Mwari imi; ndichaimba uye ndichaimba zvakanaka nomwoyo wangu wose.
A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
2 Muka iwe mutengeranwa nembira! Ndichamutsa mambakwedza.
Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
3 Haiwa Jehovha ndichakurumbidzai pakati pendudzi; ndichaimba nezvenyu pakati pamarudzi. Kutendeka kwenyu kunosvika kumatenga.
I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
4 Nokuti rudo rwenyu rukuru, kupfuura kudenga denga;
For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto the skies.
5 Kudzwai, imi Mwari, kumusoro kwokudenga, uye kurumbidzwa kwenyu ngakuve pamusoro penyika yose.
Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth.
6 Tiponesei uye mutibatsire noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, kuti vamunoda varwirwe.
That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
7 Mwari akataura ari panzvimbo yake tsvene achiti, “Pakukunda kwangu ndichaganhura Shekemu, uye ndigoyera Mupata weSukoti.
God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gireadhi ndeyangu, Manase ndowangu; Efuremu inguwani yangu, Judha itsvimbo yangu.
Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
9 Moabhu ndiwo mudziyo wangu wokugezera, pamusoro paEdhomu ndichapotsera shangu dzangu; pamusoro paFiristia ndichapembera mukukunda.”
Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.
10 Ndianiko achandiuyisa muguta rakakomberedzwa namasvingo? Ndianiko achanditungamirira kuEdhomu?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
11 Ko, hamusimi here, imi Mwari, iyemi makatiramba uye mukasazobudazve kuenda nehondo dzedu?
Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?
12 Tibatsirei pamuvengi wedu, nokuti rubatsiro rwomunhu haruna maturo.
Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
13 Tichapiwa kukunda naMwari, uye achatsika-tsika vavengi vedu.
Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
