< Mapisarema 108 >

1 Rwiyo. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Mwoyo wangu wakasimba, Mwari imi; ndichaimba uye ndichaimba zvakanaka nomwoyo wangu wose.
A Song or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Muka iwe mutengeranwa nembira! Ndichamutsa mambakwedza.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 Haiwa Jehovha ndichakurumbidzai pakati pendudzi; ndichaimba nezvenyu pakati pamarudzi. Kutendeka kwenyu kunosvika kumatenga.
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
4 Nokuti rudo rwenyu rukuru, kupfuura kudenga denga;
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth to the clouds.
5 Kudzwai, imi Mwari, kumusoro kwokudenga, uye kurumbidzwa kwenyu ngakuve pamusoro penyika yose.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory 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 hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure 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 strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Moabhu ndiwo mudziyo wangu wokugezera, pamusoro paEdhomu ndichapotsera shangu dzangu; pamusoro paFiristia ndichapembera mukukunda.”
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Ndianiko achandiuyisa muguta rakakomberedzwa namasvingo? Ndianiko achanditungamirira kuEdhomu?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 Ko, hamusimi here, imi Mwari, iyemi makatiramba uye mukasazobudazve kuenda nehondo dzedu?
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
12 Tibatsirei pamuvengi wedu, nokuti rubatsiro rwomunhu haruna maturo.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 Tichapiwa kukunda naMwari, uye achatsika-tsika vavengi vedu.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
