Mapisarema 138

1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndichakurumbidzai, imi Jehovha, nomwoyo wangu wose; ndichaimba nziyo dzokukurumbidzai pamberi pa“vamwari.”

I WILL praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

2 Ndichakotamira pasi ndakatarisa kutemberi yenyu tsvene, uye ndicharumbidza zita renyu nokuda kworudo rwenyu nokutendeka kwenyu, nokuti makakudza zita renyu neshoko renyu pamusoro pezvinhu zvose.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

3 Pandakadana, imi makandipindura; makandishingisa nomwoyo wakasimba.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

4 Madzimambo ose enyika ngaakurumbidzei, imi Jehovha, pavanonzwa mashoko omuromo wenyu.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

5 Ngavaimbe pamusoro penzira dzaJehovha, nokuti kubwinya kwaJehovha kukuru.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 Kunyange Jehovha ari kumusoro, anoona vanozvininipisa, asi vanozvikudza anovaziva vari kure.

Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

7 Kunyange ndikafamba pakati penhamo, munochengetedza upenyu hwangu; munotambanudza ruoko rwenyu pamusoro pehasha dzavavengi vangu, munondiponesa noruoko rwenyu rworudyi.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

8 Jehovha achazadzisa zvirongwa zvake neni; rudo rwenyu, imi Jehovha, runogara nokusingaperi, musasiya mabasa amaoko enyu.

The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
