Mapisarema 56

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaririro e“Njiva paMiouki iri kure.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo rweMikitami. Paakabatwa navaFiristia paGati. Ndinzwirei ngoni, imi Mwari, nokuti vanhu vanondidzinganisa nehasha; zuva rose vanorwa neni.

Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up. Fighting all the day long he oppresses me.

2 Vavengi vangu vanondidzinganisa zuva rose; vazhinji vanorwa neni mukuzvikudza kwavo.

My enemies would swallow me up all the day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

3 Pandinenge ndotya, ndichavimba nemi.

What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

4 Muna Mwari, iye ane shoko randinorumbidza, muna Mwari ndinovimba; handichazotyi. Ko, munhu anofa angandiitei?

In God I will praise his word. In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

5 Zuva rose vanomonyorora mashoko angu; vanogara vachirangana kundikuvadza.

All the day long they wrest my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 Vanorangana, vanovandira, vanocherechedza mafambiro angu, vachishuva kundiuraya.

They gather themselves together. They hide themselves. They mark my steps, even as they have waited for my soul.

7 Ngavasapunyuka savasina mhaka; koromorerai ndudzi pasi mukutsamwa kwenyu imi Mwari.

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

8 Nyorai kuchema kwangu; isai misodzi yangu parugwaro rwenyu, ko, hazvina kuiswa muzvinyorwa zvenyu here?

Thou number my wanderings. Put thou my tears into thy bottle. Are they not in thy book?

9 Ipapo vavengi vangu vachadzokera shure pandinodanidzira kuti ndibatsirwe. Nechinhu ichi, ndichaziva kuti Mwari ari kurutivi rwangu.

Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. This I know, that God is for me.

10 Muna Mwari, iye ane shoko randinorumbidza, muna Jehovha, ane shoko randinorumbidza,

In God I will praise his word. In Jehovah I will praise his word.

11 muna Mwari ndinovimba; handichazotyi chinhu. Ko, munhu angandiitei?

In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 Ndinosungwa nemhiko kwamuri, imi Mwari; ndichakuvigirai zvipo zvangu zvokuvonga.

Thy vows are upon me, O God. I will render thank offerings to thee.

13 Nokuti makandirwira parufu, uye netsoka dzangu pakugumburwa, kuti ndifambe pamberi penyu muchiedza choupenyu.

For thou have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
