Mapisarema 4
1 Kumutungamiri wenziyo nemitengeranwa. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndipindurei pandinodana kwamuri, imi Mwari wangu makarurama. Ndisunungurei pakutambudzika kwangu; ndinzwirei ngoni uye munzwe munyengetero wangu.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 Nhai imi vanhu, muchashandura kukudzwa kwangu kukava chinyadziso kusvikira riniko? Muchada kutsauswa nokutsvaka vamwari venhema kusvikira riniko? Sera
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 Zivai kuti Jehovha akazvitsaurira vanomuda; Jehovha achandinzwa pandinodana kwaari.
But know that Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is holy. Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
4 Pakutsamwa kwenyu, regai kutadza; pamunenge muri pamibhedha yenyu, nzverai mwoyo yenyu uye munyarare. Sera
Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Ipai zvibayiro zvakarurama uye muvimbe naJehovha.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
6 Vazhinji vanobvunza vachiti, “Ndianiko angatiratidza chakanaka?” Chiedza chechiso chenyu ngachipenye pamusoro pedu, imi Jehovha.
Many there are who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Makazadza mwoyo wangu nomufaro mukuru kupfuura zviyo zvavo newaini yavo itsva yakawanda.
Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 Ndichavata pasi ndigokotsira norugare, nokuti imi moga, Jehovha, munoita kuti ndigare pakasimba.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou, Jehovah, alone make me dwell in safety.
