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.

TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresses me,

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

My enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O Most High,

3 Pandinenge ndotya, ndichavimba nemi.

[In] the day I am afraid I am confident toward You.

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

In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I do not fear what flesh does to me.

5 Zuva rose vanomonyorora mashoko angu; vanogara vachirangana kundikuvadza.

All the day they wrest my words, All their thoughts [are] for evil concerning me,

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

They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

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

They escape by iniquity, In anger put down the peoples, O God.

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

You have counted my wandering, You place my tear in Your bottle, Are they not in Your scroll?

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

Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

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

In God I praise the word, In YHWH I praise the word.

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

In God I trusted, I do not fear what man does to me,

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

On me, O God, [are] Your vows, I repay thank-offerings to You.

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

For You have delivered my soul from death, Do You not [keep] my feet from falling? To habitually walk before God in the light of the living!
