Mapisarema 5

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Nenyere. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rerekerai nzeve yenyu kumashoko angu, imi Jehovha. Rangarirai chikumbiro changu.

For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.

2 Teererai inzwi rokuchema kwangu, Mambo wangu naMwari wangu, nokuti ndinonyengetera kwamuri.

Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.

3 Mangwanani, munonzwa inzwi rangu, imi Jehovha; mangwanani ndinoisa zvikumbiro zvangu pamberi penyu uye ndichimirira netariro.

In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

4 Imi hamusi Mwari anofarira zvakaipa; munhu akaipa haangagari nemi.

For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.

5 Munhu anozvikudza haangamiri pamberi penyu; munovenga vose vanoita zvakaipa.

The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.

6 Munoparadza vose vanoreva nhema; vanoteura ropa navanhu vanonyengera, Jehovha anovasema.

You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

7 Asi ini, nenyasha dzenyu huru, ndichapinda mumba menyu; norukudzo, ndichakotamira pasi pamberi penyu, ndakatarira kutemberi yenyu tsvene.

But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.

8 Nditungamirirei, imi Jehovha, mukururama kwenyu nokuda kwavavengi vangu, ruramisai nzira yenyu pamberi pangu.

Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.

9 Hakuna shoko rinobva mumuromo mavo ringavimbwa naro; mwoyo yavo izere nokuparadza. Huro dzavo iguva rakashama; vanotaura zvinonyengera norurimi rwavo.

For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

10 Haiwa Mwari, vapei mhosva! Ngavawisirwe pasi nerangano dzavo. Vabvisei nokuda kwezvivi zvavo zvizhinji, nokuti vakakumukirai.

Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

11 Asi vose vanovanda mamuri ngavafare; ngavagare vachiimba nomufaro. Tambanudzirai pamusoro pavo kudzivirira kwenyu, kuitira kuti vaya vanoda zita renyu vafare mamuri.

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

12 Nokuti zvirokwazvo, imi Jehovha, munoropafadza vakarurama; munovakomberedza nenyasha dzenyu sokunge nenhoo.

For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
