Mapisarema 54

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba nemitengeranwa ine hungiso. Rwiyo rweMasikiri rwaDhavhidhi. VaZefati pavakaenda kuna Sauro kundoti, “Ko, Dhavhidhi haana kuvanda pakati pedu here?” Ndiponesei, imi Mwari, nezita renyu; ndiruramisirei nesimba renyu.

Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might.

2 Inzwai munyengetero wangu, imi Mwari; teererai kumashoko omuromo wangu.

Hear my prayer, O God. Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 Vatorwa vanondirwisa; vanhu vane utsinye vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu, vanhu vasingazivi Mwari. Sera

For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul. They have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Zvirokwazvo Mwari ndiye mubatsiri wangu; ishe ndiye anonditsigira.

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is of those who uphold my soul.

5 Zvakaipa ngazvimonere pane avo vanondireva; muvaparadze pakutendeka kwenyu.

He will requite the evil to my enemies. Destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 Ndichakubayirai chipiriso chokungopa; ndicharumbidza zita renyu, imi Jehovha, nokuti rakanaka.

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to thee. I will give thanks to thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

7 Nokuti akandirwira pamatambudziko angu ose, uye mukukunda, meso angu akatarisa vavengi vangu.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble, and my eye has seen it upon my enemies.
