Mapisarema 31

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

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

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

Bow down thy ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.

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

For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

4 Ndisunungurei pamusungo wandakadzikirwa, nokuti imi muri utiziro hwangu.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou [art] my strength.

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

Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

6 Ndinovenga vanonamatira kuzvifananidzo zvisina maturo; ndinovimba naJehovha.

I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

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

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

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

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my foot in a large room.

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

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, [yes], my soul and my belly.

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 grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

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

I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.

12 Ndakanganwikwa navo sendakafa; ndafanana nehari yakaputsika,

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

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

For I have heard the slander of many: fear [was] on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

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

But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God.

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

My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me.

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

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

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

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585)

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

Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

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

[Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

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

Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

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

Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath showed me his wonderful kindness in a strong city.

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

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thy eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried to thee.

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

O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

24 Simbai uye mutsunge mwoyo, imi mose munorindira Jehovha.

Be of good courage, and he will strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
