Mapisarema 146

1 Rumbidza Jehovha. Rumbidza Jehovha, iwe mweya wangu.

Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.

2 Ndicharumbidza Jehovha mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu; ndichaimbira Mwari wangu nziyo dzokurumbidza ndichiri mupenyu.

I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.

3 Regai kuvimba namachinda, navanhu vanofa, vasingagoni kuponesa.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.

4 Mweya yavo painoenda, ivo vanodzokera kuvhu; pazuva racho iroro urongwa hwavo hunova pasina.

His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.

5 Akaropafadzwa munhu uyo ano mubatsiri wake Mwari waJakobho, tariro yake iri muna Jehovha Mwari wake,

Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

6 Muiti wedenga nenyika, gungwa uye nezvose zviri mariri, iye Jehovha, anogara akatendeka nokusingaperi.

Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:

7 Anomiririra zvinodiwa nevakadzvinyirirwa, uye anopa zvokudya vane nzara. Jehovha anosunungura vasungwa.

Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.

8 Jehovha anosvinudza mapofu, Jehovha anosimudza avo vakakotamiswa pasi, Jehovha anoda vakarurama.

The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.

9 Jehovha anorinda vatorwa uye anoriritira nherera nechirikadzi, asi anokonesa nzira dzavakaipa.

The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.

10 Jehovha anotonga nokusingaperi, Mwari wako, iwe Zioni, kuzvizvarwa zvose. Rumbidza Jehovha.

The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
