< Mapisarema 3 >
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Panguva yaakatiza Abhusaromu mwanakomana wake. Haiwa Jehovha, vadzivisi vangu vakawanda sei! Vakawanda sei vanondimukira!
[A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] Jehovah, how my adversaries have increased. Many rise up against me.
2 Vazhinji vanoti kwandiri, “Mwari haangamudzikinuri.” Sera
Many there are who say of my soul, "There is no salvation for him in God." (Selah)
3 Asi imi Jehovha, muri nhoo yakandipoteredza; munoisa rukudzo pandiri uye munosimudza musoro wangu.
But you, Jehovah, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Kuna Jehovha ndinodana nenzwi guru, uye anondipindura ari pagomo rake dzvene. Sera
I cried out to Jehovah with my voice, and he answered me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Ndinovata pasi ndigokotsira; ndinomukazve, nokuti Jehovha anonditsigira.
I lay down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
6 Handizotyi makumi ezviuru vakandikomba kuti vandirwise.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Simukai, imi Jehovha! Ndirwirei, imi Mwari wangu! Rovai vavengi vangu vose pashaya; gurai meno avakaipa.
Arise, Jehovah. Save me, my God. For you slap all my enemies in the face. You break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Rusununguko runobva kuna Jehovha. Maropafadzo enyu ngaave pamusoro pavanhu venyu. Sera
Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
