1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbiro anoti, “Musaparadza.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo rweMikitami. Sauro paakanga atuma varume kundorinda imba yaDhavhidhi kuti amuuraye. Ndirwirei pavavengi vangu, imi Mwari; Ndidzivirirei kubva kuna avo vanondimukira.
For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me.
2 Ndirwirei pavaiti vezvakaipa, uye mundiponese pavanhu vanokarira kuteura ropa.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the men of blood.
3 Tarirai kundivandira kwavakaita! Vanhu vanotyisa vanondirangana pasina mhosva yandapara kana chivi, nhai Jehovha.
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4 Handina chandakakanganisa, asi ivo vagadzirira kundirwisa. Simukai mundibatsire; tarirai dambudziko rangu!
Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold.
5 Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri, mukai murange ndudzi dzose; musanzwira ngoni vakaipa navapanduki. Sera
Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. (Selah)
6 Vanodzoka madekwana, vachihonʼa sembwa, uye vachinyahwaira muguta.
They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Onai zvavanorutsa mumiromo yavo: vanorutsa minondo kubva pamiromo yavo, uye vanoti, “Ndiani angatinzwa?”
Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: 'For who doth hear?'
8 Asi imi, iyemi Jehovha, munovaseka; munodadira ndudzi dzose.
But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the nations in derision.
9 Haiwa imi simba rangu, ndinokurindirai; imi, iyemi Mwari, ndimi nhare yangu,
Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower.
10 Mwari anondida achanditungamirira uye achanditendera kuti ndifare pamusoro pavanondireva.
The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon mine adversaries.
11 Asi musavauraya, imi Ishe nhoo yedu, zvimwe vanhu vangu vangakanganwa. Musimba renyu itai kuti vadzungaire, uye muvaderedze.
Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 Nokuda kwezvivi zvemiromo yavo, nokuda kwamashoko emiromo yavo, ngavabatwe pakuzvikudza kwavo. Nokuda kwokutuka nenhema dzavanotaura,
For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13 vaparadzei nehasha dzenyu, vaparadzei kusvikira vapera. Ipapo zvichazivikanwa kumigumo yenyika kuti Mwari anotonga pamusoro paJakobho. Sera
Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more; and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Vanodzoka madekwana, vachihonʼa sembwa, uye vachinyahwaira muguta.
And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city;
15 Vanodzungaira vachitsvaka zvokudya, uye vanohuhudza kana vasina kuguta.
They wander up and down to devour, and tarry all night if they have not their fill.
16 Asi ini ndichaimba nezvesimba renyu, ndichaimba nezvorudo rwenyu mangwanani; nokuti imi muri nhare yangu, utiziro hwangu panguva dzokutambudzika.
But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; for Thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Haiwa imi simba rangu, ndinokuimbirai nziyo dzokukurumbidzai; imi, Mwari, ndimi nhare yangu, Mwari anondida.
O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
