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.

Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

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

O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.

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

For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

4 Zvirokwazvo Mwari ndiye mubatsiri wangu; ishe ndiye anonditsigira.

For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

5 Zvakaipa ngazvimonere pane avo vanondireva; muvaparadze pakutendeka kwenyu.

Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.

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

I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

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

For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
