Mapisarema 61

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

For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

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

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

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

I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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

For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Wedzerai mazuva oupenyu hwamambo, makore ake kumarudzi namarudzi.

You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

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

He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfil my vows daily.
