Mapisarema 141

1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, ndinodana kwamuri; kurumidzai kuuya kwandiri. Inzwai inzwi rangu pandinodana kwamuri.

A Psalme of David. O Lord, I call vpon thee: haste thee vnto me: heare my voyce, when I cry vnto thee.

2 Munyengetero wangu ngauiswe pamberi penyu sezvinonhuhwira; kusimudzwa kwamaoko angu ngakuite sechibayiro chamadekwana.

Let my prayer be directed in thy sight as incense, and the lifting vp of mine hands as an euening sacrifice.

3 Isai murindi pamuromo wangu, imi Jehovha; chengetai mukova wemiromo yangu.

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, and keepe the doore of my lips.

4 Mwoyo wangu ngaurege kukweverwa kune zvakaipa, kuti ndiitewo mabasa akaipa navanhu vanoita zvakaipa; ngandirege kudya zvinozipa zvavo.

Incline not mine heart to euill, that I should commit wicked workes with men that worke iniquitie: and let me not eate of their delicates.

5 Akarurama ngaandirove, ndidzo tsitsi; ngaanditsiure, ndiwo mafuta pamusoro wangu. Musoro wangu hauzorambi izvozvo. Asi munyengetero wangu unorwisa mabasa avaiti vezvakaipa nguva dzose.

Let the righteous smite me: for that is a benefite: and let him reprooue me, and it shalbe a precious oyle, that shall not breake mine head: for within a while I shall euen pray in their miseries.

6 Vatongi vavo vachakandwa kumawere, uye vakaipa vachadzidza kuti mashoko angu akanga akanaka kwazvo.

When their iudges shall be cast downe in stonie places, they shall heare my wordes, for they are sweete.

7 Ivo vachati, “Sezvinoita anorima achiparura pasi, saizvozvo mapfupa edu akaparadzirwa pamuromo weguva.” (Sheol h7585)

Our bones lye scattered at the graues mouth, as he that heweth wood or diggeth in the earth. (Sheol h7585)

8 Asi meso angu anotarira kwamuri, imi Ishe Jehovha; ndinotizira kwamuri, regai kundiisa kurufu.

But mine eyes looke vnto thee, O Lord God: in thee is my trust: leaue not my soule destitute.

9 Ndichengetei pamisungo yavakanditeya nayo, napaugombe hwakadzikwa navaiti vezvakaipa.

Keepe me from the snare, which they haue layde for me, and from the grennes of the workers of iniquitie.

10 Vakaipa ngavawire mumimbure yavo, ini ndichipfuura napo norugare.

Let the wicked fall into his nettes together, whiles I escape.
