Mapisarema 16
1 Mikitami raDhavhidhi. Ndichengetedzei, imi Mwari, nokuti ndinovanda mamuri.
A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
2 Ndakati kuna Jehovha, “Ndimi Ishe wangu; kunze kwenyu handina chinhu chakanaka.”
You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
3 Kana vari vatsvene vari panyika, ndivo vakaisvonaka vandinofarira chose.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
4 Kuchema kuchawedzerwa, kwaavo vanomhanyira vamwe vamwari. Handichazodiri zvipiriso zvavo zveropa zvinodururwa kana kuisa mazita avo pamiromo yangu.
Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 Jehovha, makandigovera mugove wangu nomukombe wangu; mukaita kuti mugove wangu uchengetedzeke.
YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
6 Ndakayererwa miganhu panzvimbo yakanaka; zvirokwazvo ndine nhaka inofadza.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
7 Ndicharumbidza Jehovha, anondipa zano; kunyange usiku mwoyo wangu unondirayira.
I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Ndakaisa Jehovha pamberi pangu nguva dzose. Nokuti ari kurudyi rwangu, handingatongozungunuswi.
I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Naizvozvo mwoyo wangu unofara uye rurimi rwangu runopururudza; muviri wanguwo uchazorora zvakanaka,
Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Makandizivisa nzira youpenyu; muchandizadza nomufaro uri pamberi penyu, nezvinofadza zvisingaperi muruoko rwenyu rworudyi.
You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
