Mapisarema 41

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Akaropafadzwa uyo ane hanya navasina simba; Jehovha anomurwira panguva dzokutambudzika.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the time of trouble.

2 Jehovha achamudzivirira uye achachengetedza upenyu hwake; achamuropafadza panyika uye haangamuisi kuchido chavavengi vake.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

3 Jehovha achamuraramisa panhoo yake yourwere uye achamuponesa panhoo yake yourwere.

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

4 Ini ndakati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndinzwirei ngoni; ndiporesei, nokuti ndakakutadzirai.”

I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5 Vavengi vangu vachindigodora vanoti, “Achafa riniko uye zita rake rigoparara?”

My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

6 Kana mumwe achiuya kuzondiona, anotaura zvenhema, mwoyo uchiunganidza makuhwa; ipapo anobuda ondozviparadzira kumwe.

And if he cometh to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

7 Vavengi vangu vose vanoita zevezeve pamwe chete pamusoro pangu; vanondifungira zvakaipisisa, vachiti,

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

8 “Chirwere chakaipa chakamubata, haachambomukizve panzvimbo paakarara.”

An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast to him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise no more.

9 Kunyange neshamwari yangu yapedyo yandaivimba nayo, yandaigovana zvokudya nayo, yandisimudzira chitsitsinho chayo.

Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

10 Asi imi, iyemi Jehovha, mune tsitsi neni, ndisimudzei, kuti ndivatsive.

But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

11 Ndinoziva kuti munofadzwa neni, nokuti muvengi wangu haandikundi.

By this I know that thou favorest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 Munonditsigira pakutendeka kwangu, uye munondiisa pamberi penyu nokusingaperi.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

13 Kurumbidzwa ngakuve kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira nokusingaperi.

Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and amen.
