Mapisarema 61

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba, nomutengeranwa une hungiso. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Inzwai kuchema kwangu, imi Mwari; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kumunyengetero wangu.

To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David. Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

2 Kubva kumigumo yenyika, ndinodanidzira kwamuri, ndinodana sezvo mwoyo wangu woziya; nditungamirirei kudombo rakakwirira kundipfuura.

From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

3 Nokuti imi makanga muri utiziro hwangu, shongwe yakasimba pamusoro pavavengi vangu.

For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

4 Ndinopanga kugara mutende renyu nokusingaperi, uye nokuvanda mumumvuri wamapapiro enyu. Sera

I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah)

5 Nokuti makanzwa mhiko dzangu, imi Mwari; makandipa nhaka yaavo vanotya zita renyu.

For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

6 Wedzerai mazuva oupenyu hwamambo, makore ake kumarudzi namarudzi.

You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

7 Ngaagare pachigaro choushe pamberi paMwari nokusingaperi; gadzai rudo nokutendeka kwenyu kuti zvimudzivirire.

May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

8 Ipapo ndichagara ndichirumbidza zita renyu nenziyo, uye ndichazadzisa mhiko dzangu zuva nezuva.

So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.
