Mapisarema 16
1 Mikitami raDhavhidhi. Ndichengetedzei, imi Mwari, nokuti ndinovanda mamuri.
Imikithamu kaDavida. Ngilondoloza, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngiphephela kuwe.
2 Ndakati kuna Jehovha, “Ndimi Ishe wangu; kunze kwenyu handina chinhu chakanaka.”
Ngathi kuThixo, “UnguThixo wami; ngaphandle kwakho angilakho okuhle.”
3 Kana vari vatsvene vari panyika, ndivo vakaisvonaka vandinofarira chose.
Labo abangcwele abakhona elizweni bangabakhazimulayo engithokoza ngabo.
4 Kuchema kuchawedzerwa, kwaavo vanomhanyira vamwe vamwari. Handichazodiri zvipiriso zvavo zveropa zvinodururwa kana kuisa mazita avo pamiromo yangu.
Labo abagijimela abanye onkulunkulu inhlupho zabo zizakwanda. Angiyi kuyithulula iminikelo yegazi kubonkulunkulu labo njalo amabizo abo kawayikuphuma kwezami izindebe.
5 Jehovha, makandigovera mugove wangu nomukombe wangu; mukaita kuti mugove wangu uchengetedzeke.
Thixo, usungahlukanisele isabelo sami kanye lenkezo yami; konke okwami usukumise kuhle.
6 Ndakayererwa miganhu panzvimbo yakanaka; zvirokwazvo ndine nhaka inofadza.
Imingcele yesabelo sami idabula ezindaweni ezibukekayo; ngeqiniso elami ilifa liyathokozisa.
7 Ndicharumbidza Jehovha, anondipa zano; kunyange usiku mwoyo wangu unondirayira.
Ngizamdumisa uThixo, onguye ongelulekayo; lasebusuku inhliziyo yami iyangiqondisa.
8 Ndakaisa Jehovha pamberi pangu nguva dzose. Nokuti ari kurudyi rwangu, handingatongozungunuswi.
Ngikhangele kuThixo kokuphela. Njengoba esesandleni sami sokunene angiyi kunyikinywa.
9 Naizvozvo mwoyo wangu unofara uye rurimi rwangu runopururudza; muviri wanguwo uchazorora zvakanaka,
Ngakho-ke inhliziyo yami iyathokoza lolimi lwami luyajabula; lomzimba wami uzaphumula uvikelekile,
ngoba kawuzukungiyekela ngize ngiye endaweni yabafileyo, njalo kawusoze wekele othembekileyo wakho ezwe ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
11 Makandizivisa nzira youpenyu; muchandizadza nomufaro uri pamberi penyu, nezvinofadza zvisingaperi muruoko rwenyu rworudyi.
Usungazisile indlela yempilo; uzangigcwalisa ngokuthaba phambi kwakho, ngenjabulo engapheliyo kwesokunene sakho.
