Mapisarema 5

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

For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.

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

Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.

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

Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.

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

For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.

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

The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

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

You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

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

But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

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

Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

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

Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

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

God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, 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 may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.

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

For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
