Mapisarema 31

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndinovanda mamuri, imi Jehovha; itai kuti ndisatombonyadziswa; ndirwirei mukururama kwenyu.

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] In you, Jehovah, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.

2 Rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri, kurumidzai kundinunura; ivai dombo rangu rokuvanda, nhare yakasimba inondiponesa.

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

3 Sezvo murimi dombo rangu nenhare yangu, nditungamirirei uye mundisesedze nokuda kwezita renyu.

For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name's sake lead me and guide me.

4 Ndisunungurei pamusungo wandakadzikirwa, nokuti imi muri utiziro hwangu.

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.

5 Ndinoisa mweya wangu mumaoko enyu; ndidzikinurei, imi Jehovha, Mwari wechokwadi.

Into your hands I commit my spirit. You redeem me, Jehovah, God of truth.

6 Ndinovenga vanonamatira kuzvifananidzo zvisina maturo; ndinovimba naJehovha.

I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Jehovah.

7 Ndichafara nokufarisisa murudo rwenyu, nokuti makaona kutambudzika kwangu mukaziva kurwadziwa kwomwoyo wangu.

I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

8 Hamuna kundiisa kumuvengi, asi makamisa tsoka dzangu panzvimbo yakafarikana.

You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.

9 Haiwa Jehovha, ndinzwirei ngoni nokuti ndine nhamo; meso angu aneta nokuchema, mwoyo wangu nomuviri wangu zvarwadziwa.

Have mercy on me, Jehovah, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.

10 Upenyu hwangu hwopera nokurwadziwa, uye namakore angu nokugomera; simba rangu rapera nokuda kwokutambudzika kwangu, uye mapfupa angu arukutika.

For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones waste away.

11 Nokuda kwavavengi vangu, ndava chinhu chinovengwa navavakidzani vangu; ndava chinhu chinotyisa kushamwari dzangu; vanondiona munzira dzomumisha vanonditiza.

Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, A fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.

12 Ndakanganwikwa navo sendakafa; ndafanana nehari yakaputsika,

I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.

13 nokuti ndinonzwa guhwa ravazhinji; kumativi ose kune zvinotyisa; vanorangana pamusoro pangu uye vanoronga kundiuraya.

For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.

14 Asi ndinovimba nemi, imi Jehovha; ndinoti, “Ndimi Mwari wangu.”

But I trust in you, Jehovah. I said, "You are my God."

15 Nguva dzangu dziri mumaoko enyu; ndirwirei kuvavengi vangu nokuna avo vanonditeverera.

My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

16 Chiso chenyu ngachipenye pamusoro pomuranda wenyu; ndiponesei norudo rwenyu rusingaperi.

Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.

17 Haiwa Jehovha, itai kuti ndisanyadziswa, nokuti ndakadana kwamuri; asi vakaipa ngavanyadziswe uye vavate vakati mwiro muguva. (Sheol h7585)

Let me not be disappointed, Jehovah, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

18 Miromo yavo inoreva nhema ngainyaradzwe, nokuti vanotaura namanyawi nokuzvikudza pamusoro pavakarurama.

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

19 Haiwa, kunaka kwenyu kukuru sei, kwamakachengetera vaya vanokutyai, kwamunoisa pamberi pavanhu, pamusoro paivo vanovanda mamuri.

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the descendants of Adam.

20 Mukudzivirira kwokuvapo kwenyu munovavanza kubva parangano dzavanhu; munovachengeta zvakanaka pamunogara kubva pandimi dzinopomera.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

21 Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, nokuti akaratidza rudo rwake runoshamisa kwandiri pandakanga ndiri muguta rakakombwa.

Praise be to Jehovah, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a besieged city.

22 Mukuvhunduka kwangu, ndakati, “Ndabviswa pamberi penyu!” Asi makanzwa kuchemera nyasha kwangu pandakadanidzira kwamuri ndichida rubatsiro.

As for me, I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before your eyes." Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

23 Idai Jehovha, imi vatsvene mose! Jehovha anochengetedza vakatendeka, asi anotsiva zvizere vanozvikudza.

Oh love Jehovah, all you his faithful ones. Jehovah preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.

24 Simbai uye mutsunge mwoyo, imi mose munorindira Jehovha.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Jehovah.
