Mapisarema 23

1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Jehovha ndiye mufudzi wangu, hapana chandingashayiwa.

A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 Anondivatisa pamafuro manyoro, anondisesedza pamvura inozorodza,

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters.

3 anoponesa mweya wangu. Anondifambisa panzira dzokururama nokuda kwezita rake.

He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Kunyange ndikafamba nomumupata womumvuri worufu, handingatyi zvakaipa, nokuti imi muneni; tsvimbo yenyu nomudonzvo wenyu zvinondinyaradza.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

5 Munondigadzirira tafura pamberi pavavengi vangu. Munozodza musoro wangu namafuta; mukombe wangu unopfachukira.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

6 Zvirokwazvo kunaka kwenyu norudo rwenyu zvichanditevera, mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu, uye ndichagara mumba maJehovha nokusingaperi.

Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever.
