Mapisarema 23

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

A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.

2 Anondivatisa pamafuro manyoro, anondisesedza pamvura inozorodza,

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside tranquil water.

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

He brings back my life; he guides me along right paths for his name's sake.

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

Even though I walk through a valley of darkest shadow, I will not fear harm since you are with me; your rod and your staff 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 my enemies; you have anointed 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 covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life; and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!
