Mapisarema 146

1 Rumbidza Jehovha. Rumbidza Jehovha, iwe mweya wangu.

PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.

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

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Regai kuvimba namachinda, navanhu vanofa, vasingagoni kuponesa.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

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

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

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

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

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

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

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

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:

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

The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:

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

The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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

The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
