Mapisarema 23

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

A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

2 Anondivatisa pamafuro manyoro, anondisesedza pamvura inozorodza,

He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

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

He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

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

For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

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

Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

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

And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
