161 Vatongi vanonditambudza ndisina mhaka, asi mwoyo wangu unodedera pashoko renyu.
Princes have harassed me wantonly: but my heart stands in awe of your word.
162 Ndinofarira vimbiso yenyu kufanana nouyo anowana zvakapambwa zvizhinji.
Over your word I rejoice as one who finds great spoil.
163 Ndinovenga uye ndinosema nhema, asi ndinoda murayiro wenyu.
Falsehood I hate and abhor, but your law do I love.
164 Ndinokurumbidzai kanomwe pazuva, nokuda kwemirayiro yenyu yakarurama.
Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments.
165 Vanoda murayiro wenyu vano rugare rukuru, uye hakuna chingavagumbusa.
Right well do they fare who love your law: they go on their way without stumbling.
166 Haiwa Jehovha, ndakamirira ruponeso rwenyu, uye ndinotevera mirayiro yenyu.
I hope for your salvation; O Lord I do your commandments.
167 Ndinoteerera zvirevo zvenyu, nokuti ndinozvida zvikuru.
I observe your charges: I love them greatly.
168 Ndinoteerera zvirevo zvenyu nezvamakatema, nokuti nzira dzangu dzose dzinozivikanwa nemi.
I observe your precepts and charges: all my ways are before you.
169 Dai kuchema kwangu kwasvika pamberi penyu, imi Jehovha; ndipeiwo kunzwisisa maererano neshoko renyu.
Let my cry come before you, O Lord: give me insight, as you have promised.
170 Kukumbira kwangu dai kwasvika pamberi penyu; ndirwirei maererano nevimbiso yenyu.
Let my prayer enter into your presence: deliver me, as you have said.
171 Miromo yangu dai yafashukira nerumbidzo, nokuti munondidzidzisa mitemo yenyu.
My lips shall be fountains of praise, that you teach me your statutes.
172 Rurimi rwangu dai rwaimba nezveshoko renyu, nokuti mirayiro yenyu yose yakarurama.
My tongue shall sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.
173 Ruoko rwenyu dai rwagadzirira kundibatsira, nokuti ndakasarudza zvirevo zvenyu.
Let your hand be ready to help me, for your precepts have been my choice.
174 Haiwa Jehovha, ndinoshuva ruponeso rwenyu, uye murayiro wenyu ndiwo mufaro wangu.
I long, Lord, for your salvation, and your law is my delight.
175 Regai ndirarame kuti ndigokurumbidzai, uye dai mirayiro yenyu yandibatsira.
Revive me that I may praise you, and let your precepts help me.
176 Ndakatsauka segwai rakarasika. Tsvakai muranda wenyu, nokuti handina kukanganwa mirayiro yenyu.
I have strayed like a wandering sheep seek your servant, because I do not forget your commandments.
