1 Rumbidzai Jehovha. Imbirai Jehovha rwiyo rutsva, rumbidzo yake paungano yavatsvene.

Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

2 Israeri ngavafarire Muiti wavo; vanhu veZioni ngavafarire Mambo wavo.

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice in their king.

3 Ngavarumbidze zita rake vachitamba, uye vamuridzire nziyo namatambureni nembira.

Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

4 Nokuti Jehovha anofarira vanhu vake; vanozvininipisa anovashongedza korona noruponeso.

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

5 Vatsvene ngavafare nokukudzwa kwake, uye vaimbe nomufaro vari pamibhedha yavo.

Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Kurumbidzwa kwaMwari ngakuve pamiromo yavo, nomunondo unocheka kwose, mumaoko avo,

May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hand

7 kuti vatsive pamusoro pendudzi, uye varange marudzi avanhu,

to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.

8 vasunge madzimambo avo nengetani, namakurukota avo nezvisungo zvamatare,

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

9 kuti vaite zvavakatongwa nazvo, zvakanyorwa pamusoro pavo. Ndiko kukudzwa kwavatsvene vose. Rumbidzai Jehovha.

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
