Mapisarema 20

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

To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

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

He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

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

He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

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

He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

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

We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

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

Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

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

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

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

They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

9 Haiwa Jehovha, ponesai mambo! Tipindurei patinodana!

O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
