Mapisarema 43

1 Ndiruramisirei, imi Mwari, uye mundireverere mhaka yangu parudzi rusina Mwari; ndinunurei pavanhu vanonyengera nevakaipa.

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

2 Ndimi Mwari nhare yangu. Mandirambireiko? Ndinofambireiko pose ndichichema ndichidzvinyirirwa navavengi?

For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?

3 Tumirai chiedza chenyu nechokwadi chenyu, ngazvinditungamirire; ngazvindisvitse kugomo renyu dzvene, kunzvimbo yamunogara.

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain, and to the place where You dwell.

4 Ipapo ndichaenda kuaritari yaMwari, kuna Mwari, iye mufaro wangu nomudikani wangu. Ndichakurumbidzai nembira, imi Mwari, Mwari wangu.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

5 Wakasuwireiko, nhai mweya wangu? Unotambudzwa neiko mukati mangu? Isa tariro yako muna Mwari, nokuti ndichamurumbidzazve, Muponesi wangu naMwari wangu.

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
