Mapisarema 23

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

A psalm of David. Since the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.

2 Anondivatisa pamafuro manyoro, anondisesedza pamvura inozorodza,

He gives me rest in green fields. He leads me towards quietly flowing streams.

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

He revives me. He guides me along the right paths because that's the kind of person he is.

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

Even when I walk through the valley dark as death, I'm not afraid of any evil, because you are right there with me; your rod and your staff protect me.

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

You prepare a banquet for me before my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with olive oil. My cup is so full it overflows!

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

I'm absolutely certain that your goodness and trustworthy love will be with me all through my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
