Mapisarema 61

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

To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.

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

From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.

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

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

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

I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. (Selah)

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

For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

6 Wedzerai mazuva oupenyu hwamambo, makore ake kumarudzi namarudzi.

Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

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

He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.

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

So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
