Mapisarema 3
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Panguva yaakatiza Abhusaromu mwanakomana wake. Haiwa Jehovha, vadzivisi vangu vakawanda sei! Vakawanda sei vanondimukira!
“A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.” How many, O LORD, are mine enemies! How many are they who rise up against me!
2 Vazhinji vanoti kwandiri, “Mwari haangamudzikinuri.” Sera
How many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him with God”! (Pause)
3 Asi imi Jehovha, muri nhoo yakandipoteredza; munoisa rukudzo pandiri uye munosimudza musoro wangu.
But thou, O LORD! art my shield, My glory, and the lifter-up of my head.
4 Kuna Jehovha ndinodana nenzwi guru, uye anondipindura ari pagomo rake dzvene. Sera
I call upon the LORD with my voice, And he heareth me from his holy hill. (Pause)
5 Ndinovata pasi ndigokotsira; ndinomukazve, nokuti Jehovha anonditsigira.
I lay me down and sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Handizotyi makumi ezviuru vakandikomba kuti vandirwise.
I will not fear the ten thousands of people Who on every side set themselves against me.
7 Simukai, imi Jehovha! Ndirwirei, imi Mwari wangu! Rovai vavengi vangu vose pashaya; gurai meno avakaipa.
Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For thou smitest the cheek of all my enemies; Thou breakest the teeth of the wicked.
8 Rusununguko runobva kuna Jehovha. Maropafadzo enyu ngaave pamusoro pavanhu venyu. Sera
Deliverance cometh from the LORD: May thy blessing be with thy people! (Pause)
