Mapisarema 36

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi muranda waJehovha. Shoko riri mumwoyo mangu pamusoro pokutadza kweakaipa rinoti: Hakuna kutya Mwari pamberi pake.

TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,

2 Pamaonero ake anozvirumbidza, nokuti anozvibata kumeso kwazvo pakuona kwake, zvokuti anotadza kuona kana kuvenga chivi chake.

For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

3 Mashoko omuromo wake akaipa uye anonyengera; haachisiri munhu akachenjera kana anoita zvakanaka.

The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.

4 Kunyange panhoo yake anofunga zvakaipa; anozvifambisa panzira yezvakaipa uye haarambi chakaipa.

He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”

5 Rudo rwenyu, imi Jehovha, runosvika kudenga denga, kutendeka kwenyu kunosvika kumakore.

O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.

6 Kururama kwenyu kwakaita segomo guru guru, kururamisira kwenyu sepakadzika dzika. Haiwa Jehovha, imi munochengetedza zvose munhu nemhuka.

Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.

7 Haiwa rudo rwenyu rusingatongoperi runokosha sei! Vose vakuru navaduku pakati pavanhu vanovanda mumumvuri wamapapiro enyu.

How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.

8 Vanogutswa nezvakawanda zvomumba menyu; munovanwisa kubva parwizi rwenyu runofadza.

They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.

9 Nokuti kwamuri ndiko kune chitubu choupenyu; muchiedza chenyu tinoona chiedza.

For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.

10 Rambai muchiitira rudo kuna avo vanokuzivai, uye kururama kwenyu kuna vane mwoyo yakarurama.

Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.

11 Rutsoka rwounozvikudza ngarurege kusvika kwandiri, kunyange ruoko rweakaipa ngarurege kundidzingira kure.

Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.

12 Tarirai vaiti vezvakaipa kuti vawa sei, vakandwa pasi, havagoni kumuka.

Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
