< Mapisarema 4 >
1 Kumutungamiri wenziyo nemitengeranwa. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndipindurei pandinodana kwamuri, imi Mwari wangu makarurama. Ndisunungurei pakutambudzika kwangu; ndinzwirei ngoni uye munzwe munyengetero wangu.
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. You set me free in my distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 Nhai imi vanhu, muchashandura kukudzwa kwangu kukava chinyadziso kusvikira riniko? Muchada kutsauswa nokutsvaka vamwari venhema kusvikira riniko? Sera
You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
3 Zivai kuti Jehovha akazvitsaurira vanomuda; Jehovha achandinzwa pandinodana kwaari.
But know that Jehovah works wonders for his godly one; Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
4 Pakutsamwa kwenyu, regai kutadza; pamunenge muri pamibhedha yenyu, nzverai mwoyo yenyu uye munyarare. Sera
Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (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 say, "Who will show us any good?" Jehovah, lift up the light of your face upon us.
7 Makazadza mwoyo wangu nomufaro mukuru kupfuura zviyo zvavo newaini yavo itsva yakawanda.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
8 Ndichavata pasi ndigokotsira norugare, nokuti imi moga, Jehovha, munoita kuti ndigare pakasimba.
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Jehovah alone, make me live in safety.
