< Mapisarema 114 >

1 Israeri akati abuda muIjipiti, imba yaJakobho ichibva kurudzi runo mutauro wokumwe,
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language;
2 Judha akava imba tsvene yaMwari, Israeri ushe hwake.
Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 Gungwa rakazviona rikatiza, Jorodhani rwakadzokera shure;
The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 makomo akakwakuka samakondobwe, zvikomo samakwayana.
The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.
5 Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko, iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,
What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
6 imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondobwe, nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?
Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Dedera, iwe nyika pamberi paShe, pamberi paMwari waJakobho,
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 akashandura dombo rikava dziva, dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.
Who turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
