1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba waVanakomana vaKora. Namaimbirwo earamoti. Rwiyo. Mwari ndiye utiziro hwedu nesimba redu, ndiye mubatsiri anogara aripo panguva yokutambudzika.
“For the leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever present help in trouble.
2 Naizvozvo hatizotyi, kunyange nyika ikashanduka, uye makomo akawira mukatikati megungwa,
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be changed; Though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;
3 kunyange mvura yaro ikatinhira uye ikapupuma furo, uye makomo akadengenyeswa namafungu aro. Sera
Though its waters roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)
4 Pane rwizi rwuripo rune hova dzinofadza guta raMwari, nzvimbo tsvene yeWokumusoro-soro.
A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling-place of the Most High.
5 Mwari ari mukati maro, haringawiri pasi; Mwari acharibatsira panguva yemambakwedza.
God is the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.
6 Ndudzi dzinoita bope, umambo hunoondomoka; anotaura nenzwi guru, nyika yonyongodeka.
The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Jehovha Wamasimba Ose anesu; Mwari waJakobho ndiye nhare yedu. Sera
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Pause)
8 Uyai muone mabasa aJehovha, kuparadza kwaakaita panyika.
Come, behold the doings of the LORD; What desolations he hath made in the earth!
9 Anoita kuti hondo dzigume kusvikira kumagumo enyika; anovhuna uta uye anovhuna-vhuna mapfumo, anopisa nhoo nomoto.
He causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in fire.
10 “Mirai, muzive kuti ndini Mwari; ndichakudzwa pakati pendudzi, ndichasimudzirwa panyika.”
“Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout the earth!”
11 Jehovha Wamasimba Ose anesu; Mwari waJakobho ndiye nhare yedu. Sera
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
