you who stand in Adonai’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.
3 Rumbidzai Jehovha, nokuti Jehovha akanaka; imbirai zita rake nziyo dzokurumbidza, nokuti ndizvo zvakanaka.
Halleluyah ·praise Yah·, for Adonai is good. Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 Nokuti Jehovha akasarudza Jakobho kuti ave wake, naIsraeri kuti ave pfuma yake.
For Yah has chosen Jacob [Supplanter] for himself; Israel [God prevails] for his own segulah ·special treasure·.
5 Ndinoziva kuti Jehovha mukuru, uye kuti Ishe wedu mukuru kupfuura vamwari vose.
For I know that Adonai is great, that our Lord is above all deities.
6 Jehovha anoita zvose zvinomufadza, kudenga napasi, nomumakungwa napakadzika pose.
Whatever Adonai pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings the wind out of his treasuries;
8 Ndiye akaparadza matangwe eIjipiti, matangwe avanhu neemhuka.
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt [Abode of slavery], both of man and animal;

who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
11 Sihoni mambo weAmori, Ogi mambo weBhashani namadzimambo ose eKenani,

12 akapa nyika yavo kuti ive nhaka, nhaka yavanhu vake Israeri.
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel [God prevails], his people.
13 Haiwa Jehovha, zita renyu rinogara nokusingaperi, mukurumbira wenyu, imi Jehovha, kuzvizvarwa zvose.
Your name, Adonai, endures forever; your renown, Adonai, throughout all generations.
14 Nokuti Jehovha achapupurira vanhu vake uye achava nenyasha pamusoro pavaranda vake.
For Adonai will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
15 Zvifananidzo zvendudzi isirivha negoridhe, zvakaitwa namaoko avanhu.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 Zvine miromo, asi hazvigoni kutaura, zvina meso, asi hazvigoni kuona;
They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.
17 nenzeve, asi hazvigoni kunzwa, uye hamuna kufema mumuromo mazvo.
They have ears, but they can’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Vaya vanozviita vachafanana nazvo, saizvozvowo, naivo vanovimba nazvo.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19 Haiwa imi imba yaIsraeri, rumbidzai Jehovha; haiwa imba yaAroni, rumbidzai Jehovha;
House of Israel [God prevails], praise Adonai! House of Aaron [Light-bringer], praise Adonai!
20 Haiwa imi imba yaRevhi, rumbidzai Jehovha; imi vanomutya, rumbidzai Jehovha.
House of Levi [United with], praise Adonai! You who fear Adonai, praise Adonai!
21 Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe kubva kuZioni, iye agere muJerusarema. Rumbidzai Jehovha.
Blessed be Adonai from Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], Who dwells at Jerusalem [City of peace]. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
