< Mapisarema 23 >
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Jehovha ndiye mufudzi wangu, hapana chandingashayiwa.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack.
2 Anondivatisa pamafuro manyoro, anondisesedza pamvura inozorodza,
He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.
3 anoponesa mweya wangu. Anondifambisa panzira dzokururama nokuda kwezita rake.
He restores my soul: he leads 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 you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.
5 Munondigadzirira tafura pamberi pavavengi vangu. Munozodza musoro wangu namafuta; mukombe wangu unopfachukira.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
6 Zvirokwazvo kunaka kwenyu norudo rwenyu zvichanditevera, mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu, uye ndichagara mumba maJehovha nokusingaperi.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
