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.
