The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17 Handingafi asi ndichararama, uye ndichaparidza zvakaitwa naJehovha.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 Jehovha akandiranga kwazvo, asi haana kundiisa kurufu.
The LORD hath chastened me sore; but He hath not given me over unto death.
19 Ndizarurireiwo masuo okururama; ndichapinda ndigovonga Jehovha.
Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD.

This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 Iri ndiro zuva rakaitwa naJehovha; ngatifarei kwazvo tifarisise mariri.
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Haiwa Jehovha, tiponesei; haiwa Jehovha, tipeiwo kubudirira.
We beseech Thee, O LORD, save now! We beseech Thee, O LORD, make us now to prosper!
26 Akaropafadzwa uyo anouya muzita raJehovha. Tiri mumba maJehovha tinokuropafadzai.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we bless you out of the house of the LORD.

The LORD is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Imi muri Mwari wangu, uye ndichakuvongai; ndimi Mwari wangu, uye ndichakukudzai.
Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.
