Mapisarema 143
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, inzwai munyengetero wangu, ndinzwirei ngoni pakuchema kwangu; uyai mundisunungure nokutendeka uye nokururama kwenyu.
Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.
2 Musauyisa muranda wenyu mukutongwa, nokuti hakuna mupenyu akarurama pamberi penyu.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
3 Muvengi anondidzinganisa, anondirovera pasi; anondiita kuti ndigare murima savaya vakafa kare.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:
4 Saizvozvo mweya wangu unoziya mukati mangu; mwoyo wangu unovhundutswa mukati mangu.
And my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.
5 Ndinorangarira mazuva akare kare; ndinofungisisa pamusoro pamabasa enyu ose, uye ndinofunga zvakaitwa namaoko enyu.
I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.
6 Ndinotambanudzira maoko angu kwamuri; mweya wangu unokushuvai senyika yakaoma. Sera
I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
7 Haiwa Jehovha, kurumidzai kundipindura; mweya wangu woziya. Regai kundivanzira chiso chenyu nokuti ndingazova savaya vakaburukira mugomba.
Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Mangwanani ngaandivigire shoko rorudo rwenyu rusingaperi, nokuti ndinovimba nemi. Ndiratidzei nzira yandinofanira kufamba nayo, nokuti ndinosimudzira mweya wangu kwamuri.
Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
9 Ndinunurei kubva kuvavengi vangu, imi Jehovha, nokuti ndinozvivanza mamuri.
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled:
10 Ndidzidzisei kuita kuda kwenyu, nokuti muri Mwari wangu; mweya wenyu wakanaka ngaunditungamirire panzira yakati chechetere.
Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land:
11 Haiwa Jehovha, chengetedzai upenyu hwangu nokuda kwezita renyu; ndibudisei panhamo, mukururama kwenyu.
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice. Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble:
12 Nyaradzai vavengi vangu, murudo rwenyu rusingaperi; paradzai vavengi vangu vose, nokuti ndiri muranda wenyu.
And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
