Mapisarema 13

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Kusvikira riniko, nhai Jehovha? Muchandikanganwa nokusingaperi here? Muchasvika riniko makandivanzira chiso chenyu?

For the music director. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?

2 Ndichaita mutsimba nepfungwa dzangu kusvikira riniko, uye ndine shungu mumwoyo mangu zuva rimwe nerimwe? Muvengi wangu achandikurira kusvikira riniko?

How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?

3 Tarirai kwandiri mugondipindura, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu. Vhenekerai meso angu, kana kuti ndichafa ndakarara;

Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength, otherwise I'm going to die,

4 muvengi wangu achati, “Ndamukurira ndamukunda,” uye vadzivisi vangu vachapembera kana ndawa.

and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.

5 Asi ini ndinovimba norudo rwenyu rusingaperi; mwoyo wangu unofarira ruponeso rwenyu.

But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.

6 Ndichaimbira Jehovha, nokuti akandinakira.

I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!
