Mapisarema 28

1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndinodana kwamuri, imi Jehovha Dombo rangu; musandinyararira. Nokuti kana mukaramba munyerere, ini ndichaita savaya vakaburukira kugomba.

By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

2 Inzwai kuchemera ngoni kwangu, sezvo ndichichemera rubatsiro kwamuri, sezvo ndichisimudza maoko angu ndakatarira kuNzvimbo yenyu Tsvene-tsvene.

Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3 Musandikwekweredzera kure pamwe chete navakaipa, naavo vanoita zvakaipa, vanotaura rugare navavakidzani vavo asi vakaviga zvakaipa mumwoyo yavo.

Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.

4 Vatsivei pamabasa avo napabasa ravo rakaipa, vatsivei pane zvakaitwa namaoko avo; mugodzosera pamusoro pavo zvakavafanira.

Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them.

5 Sezvo vasina hanya namabasa aJehovha uye nezvakaitwa namaoko ake, achavaputsira pasi akasavavakazve.

For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.

6 Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, nokuti akanzwa kuchemera kwangu ngoni.

Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7 Jehovha ndiye simba rangu nenhoo yangu; mwoyo wangu unovimba naye, uye ndinobatsirwa. Mwoyo wangu unokwakuka nomufaro uye ndichamuvonga nenziyo.

Jehovah [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.

8 Jehovha ndiye simba ravanhu vake, nhare yoruponeso yomuzodziwa wake.

Jehovah [is] strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.

9 Ponesai vanhu venyu uye muropafadze nhaka yenyu; ivai mufudzi wavo uye muvatakure nokusingaperi.

Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
