1 Rumbidza Jehovha. Rumbidza Jehovha, iwe mweya wangu.

Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, my soul.

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

While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Regai kuvimba namachinda, navanhu vanofa, vasingagoni kuponesa.

Do not put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

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

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

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

Blessed is the one who has 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.

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

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

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

The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

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

The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD.
