Mapisarema 16
1 Mikitami raDhavhidhi. Ndichengetedzei, imi Mwari, nokuti ndinovanda mamuri.
Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
2 Ndakati kuna Jehovha, “Ndimi Ishe wangu; kunze kwenyu handina chinhu chakanaka.”
O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
3 Kana vari vatsvene vari panyika, ndivo vakaisvonaka vandinofarira chose.
But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
4 Kuchema kuchawedzerwa, kwaavo vanomhanyira vamwe vamwari. Handichazodiri zvipiriso zvavo zveropa zvinodururwa kana kuisa mazita avo pamiromo yangu.
The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips.
5 Jehovha, makandigovera mugove wangu nomukombe wangu; mukaita kuti mugove wangu uchengetedzeke.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
6 Ndakayererwa miganhu panzvimbo yakanaka; zvirokwazvo ndine nhaka inofadza.
The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
7 Ndicharumbidza Jehovha, anondipa zano; kunyange usiku mwoyo wangu unondirayira.
I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
8 Ndakaisa Jehovha pamberi pangu nguva dzose. Nokuti ari kurudyi rwangu, handingatongozungunuswi.
I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
9 Naizvozvo mwoyo wangu unofara uye rurimi rwangu runopururudza; muviri wanguwo uchazorora zvakanaka,
Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Makandizivisa nzira youpenyu; muchandizadza nomufaro uri pamberi penyu, nezvinofadza zvisingaperi muruoko rwenyu rworudyi.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
