< 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. LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Vazhinji vanoti kwandiri, “Mwari haangamudzikinuri.” Sera
Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” (Selah)
3 Asi imi Jehovha, muri nhoo yakandipoteredza; munoisa rukudzo pandiri uye munosimudza musoro wangu.
But you, LORD, 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 cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Ndinovata pasi ndigokotsira; ndinomukazve, nokuti Jehovha anonditsigira.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.
6 Handizotyi makumi ezviuru vakandikomba kuti vandirwise.
I will not be afraid of tens of 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, LORD! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Rusununguko runobva kuna Jehovha. Maropafadzo enyu ngaave pamusoro pavanhu venyu. Sera
Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
