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.

I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God, while I have my being.

3 Regai kuvimba namachinda, navanhu vanofa, vasingagoni kuponesa.

Put not your trust in princes, In the son of man, in whom is no help!

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

His breath goeth forth; he returneth to the dust; In that very day his plans 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.

Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is therein; Who keepeth truth for ever;

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free 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 up 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 the widow; But the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

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

The LORD shall reign for ever; Thy God, O Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
