Mapisarema 60
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbirwo e“Ruva reMahapa reSungano.” Rwiyo rweMikitami rwaDhavhidhi. Rwokudzidzisa. Paakarwa neAramu Naharaimu neAramu Zobha, uye panguva yakadzoka Joabhu akaparadza zviuru gumi nezviviri zvavaEdhomu muMupata woMunyu. Makatiramba, imi Mwari, uye mukatirwisa; makanga makatsamwa, zvino tidzorei henyu!
“For the leader of the music; upon the Shushan-Eduth; a psalm of David for instruction; when he was at strife with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zoba; when Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt.” O God! thou hast forsaken us; thou hast broken us in pieces; Thou hast been angry! O revive us again!
2 Makazungunusa nyika mukaitsemura napakati; gadzirai henyu mitswe yayo, nokuti iri kudengenyeka.
Thou hast made the land tremble; thou hast rent it; O heal its breaches, for it tottereth!
3 Makaratidza vanhu venyu nguva dzakaoma; makatipa waini inotidzedzeresa.
Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us drink the wine of reeling.
4 Asi kuna vanokutyai, makasimudza mureza kuti urege kupfaranyurwa neuta. Sera
Lift up a banner for them that fear thee, For the sake of thy faithfulness, that they may escape!
5 Tiponesei uye tibatsirei noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, kuti avo vamunoda varwirwe.
That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!
6 Mwari akataura ari muimba yake tsvene achiti: “Ndichaganhura Shekemu nesimba uye ndichayera Mupata weSukoti.
God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gireadhi nderangu, uye Manase ndowangu; Efuremu inguwani yangu yakasimba, Judha itsvimbo yangu.
Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre;
8 Moabhu ndiwo mudziyo wangu wokushambira, pamusoro paEdhomu ndipo pandinokanda shangu yangu; pamusoro paFiristia ndinopururudza mukukunda.”
Moab shall be my wash-bowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia!
9 Ndianiko achandiisa kuguta rakakomberedzwa? Ndianiko achanditungamirira kuenda kuEdhomu?
Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
10 Hamusimi, iyemi Mwari, iyemi makatiramba here, uye mukarega kubuda nehondo dzedu?
Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, And didst not go forth with our armies?
11 Tibatsirei pavavengi vedu, nokuti rubatsiro rwavanhu haruna maturo.
Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!
12 NaMwari wedu, tichakunda, uye achatsikira vavengi vedu pasi.
Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
