< 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 Absalom his son. Yahweh, how many are my enemies! Many have risen against me.
2 Vazhinji vanoti kwandiri, “Mwari haangamudzikinuri.” Sera
Many say about me, “There is no help for him from God.” (Selah)
3 Asi imi Jehovha, muri nhoo yakandipoteredza; munoisa rukudzo pandiri uye munosimudza musoro wangu.
But you, Yahweh, 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 lift up my voice to Yahweh, and he answers me from his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Ndinovata pasi ndigokotsira; ndinomukazve, nokuti Jehovha anonditsigira.
I lay down and slept; I awoke, for Yahweh protected me.
6 Handizotyi makumi ezviuru vakandikomba kuti vandirwise.
I will not be afraid of the multitudes 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.
Rise up, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you will hit all my enemies on the jaw; you will break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Rusununguko runobva kuna Jehovha. Maropafadzo enyu ngaave pamusoro pavanhu venyu. Sera
Salvation comes from Yahweh. May your blessings be on your people. (Selah)
