Mapisarema 143
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, inzwai munyengetero wangu, ndinzwirei ngoni pakuchema kwangu; uyai mundisunungure nokutendeka uye nokururama kwenyu.
A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.
2 Musauyisa muranda wenyu mukutongwa, nokuti hakuna mupenyu akarurama pamberi penyu.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 Muvengi anondidzinganisa, anondirovera pasi; anondiita kuti ndigare murima savaya vakafa kare.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground: he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
4 Saizvozvo mweya wangu unoziya mukati mangu; mwoyo wangu unovhundutswa mukati mangu.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
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 thy doings: I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 Ndinotambanudzira maoko angu kwamuri; mweya wangu unokushuvai senyika yakaoma. Sera
I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a weary land. (Selah)
7 Haiwa Jehovha, kurumidzai kundipindura; mweya wangu woziya. Regai kundivanzira chiso chenyu nokuti ndingazova savaya vakaburukira mugomba.
Make haste to answer me, O LORD; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me; lest I become like 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 lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Ndinunurei kubva kuvavengi vangu, imi Jehovha, nokuti ndinozvivanza mamuri.
Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
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 spirit is good; lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 Haiwa Jehovha, chengetedzai upenyu hwangu nokuda kwezita renyu; ndibudisei panhamo, mukururama kwenyu.
Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Nyaradzai vavengi vangu, murudo rwenyu rusingaperi; paradzai vavengi vangu vose, nokuti ndiri muranda wenyu.
And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.
