Mapisarema 143
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, inzwai munyengetero wangu, ndinzwirei ngoni pakuchema kwangu; uyai mundisunungure nokutendeka uye nokururama kwenyu.
A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.
2 Musauyisa muranda wenyu mukutongwa, nokuti hakuna mupenyu akarurama pamberi penyu.
Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
3 Muvengi anondidzinganisa, anondirovera pasi; anondiita kuti ndigare murima savaya vakafa kare.
For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.
4 Saizvozvo mweya wangu unoziya mukati mangu; mwoyo wangu unovhundutswa mukati mangu.
My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.
5 Ndinorangarira mazuva akare kare; ndinofungisisa pamusoro pamabasa enyu ose, uye ndinofunga zvakaitwa namaoko enyu.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
6 Ndinotambanudzira maoko angu kwamuri; mweya wangu unokushuvai senyika yakaoma. Sera
I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
7 Haiwa Jehovha, kurumidzai kundipindura; mweya wangu woziya. Regai kundivanzira chiso chenyu nokuti ndingazova savaya vakaburukira mugomba.
Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.
8 Mangwanani ngaandivigire shoko rorudo rwenyu rusingaperi, nokuti ndinovimba nemi. Ndiratidzei nzira yandinofanira kufamba nayo, nokuti ndinosimudzira mweya wangu kwamuri.
Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.
9 Ndinunurei kubva kuvavengi vangu, imi Jehovha, nokuti ndinozvivanza mamuri.
Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
10 Ndidzidzisei kuita kuda kwenyu, nokuti muri Mwari wangu; mweya wenyu wakanaka ngaunditungamirire panzira yakati chechetere.
Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11 Haiwa Jehovha, chengetedzai upenyu hwangu nokuda kwezita renyu; ndibudisei panhamo, mukururama kwenyu.
For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Nyaradzai vavengi vangu, murudo rwenyu rusingaperi; paradzai vavengi vangu vose, nokuti ndiri muranda wenyu.
And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.
