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 darkness, 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 works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 Ndinotambanudzira maoko angu kwamuri; mweya wangu unokushuvai senyika yakaoma. Sera
I stretch forth my hands to thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
7 Haiwa Jehovha, kurumidzai kundipindura; mweya wangu woziya. Regai kundivanzira chiso chenyu nokuti ndingazova savaya vakaburukira mugomba.
Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be 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 loving-kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way in which I should walk; for I lift up my soul to thee.
9 Ndinunurei kubva kuvavengi vangu, imi Jehovha, nokuti ndinozvivanza mamuri.
Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to 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 into the land of uprightness.
11 Haiwa Jehovha, chengetedzai upenyu hwangu nokuda kwezita renyu; ndibudisei panhamo, mukururama kwenyu.
Revive me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Nyaradzai vavengi vangu, murudo rwenyu rusingaperi; paradzai vavengi vangu vose, nokuti ndiri muranda wenyu.
And of thy mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.
