Mapisarema 20

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Jehovha ngaakupindure paunotambudzika; zita raMwari waJakobho ngarikudzivirire.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

2 Ngaakutumire rubatsiro runobva panzvimbo tsvene, uye akupe rutsigiro runobva kuZioni.

May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

3 Ngaarangarire zvibayiro zvako zvose uye agogamuchira zvibayiro zvako zvinopiswa. Sera

May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah)

4 Ngaakupe zvinodikanwa nomwoyo wako, uye aite kuti urongwa hwako hwose hubudirire.

May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

5 Tichadanidzira nomufaro pakukunda kwako, uye tichasimudza mireza yedu muzita raMwari wedu. Jehovha ngaakupe zvose zvawakakumbira.

We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

6 Zvino ndava kuziva kuti Jehovha anoponesa muzodziwa wake; anomupindura ari kudenga rake dzvene, nesimba rokuponesa kworuoko rwake rworudyi.

Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

7 Vamwe vanovimba nengoro, vamwe namabhiza, asi isu tinovimba nezita raJehovha Mwari wedu.

Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

8 Vanowisirwa pasi namabvi avo vagowa, asi isu tinosimuka tigomira takasimba.

They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

9 Haiwa Jehovha, ponesai mambo! Tipindurei patinodana!

Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.
