Mapisarema 63
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi paakanga ari murenje reJudha. Haiwa Mwari, ndimi Mwari wangu, ndinokutsvakai nomwoyo wose; mwoyo wangu une nyota kwamuri, muviri wangu unokupangai, munyika yakaoma uye yasakara isina mvura.
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh [longed] after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
2 Ndakakuonai munzvimbo yenyu tsvene, uye ndikaona simba renyu nokubwinya kwenyu.
Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.
3 Nokuti rudo rwenyu runokunda upenyu, miromo yangu ichakurumbidzai.
For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.
4 Ndichakurumbidzai ndichiri mupenyu, uye ndichasimudza maoko angu muzita renyu.
Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.
5 Mweya wangu uchagutswa kunge wadya zvakakora kwazvo; muromo wangu uchakurumbidzai nemiromo inofara kwazvo.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise your name.
6 Ndinokurangarirai ndiri pamubhedha wangu; ndinokufungai panguva dzose dzousiku.
Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.
7 Nokuti muri mubatsiri wangu, ndinoimba ndiri mumumvuri wamapapiro enyu.
For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.
8 Mweya wangu unonamatira kwamuri; ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runonditsigira.
My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.
9 Vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu vachaparadzwa; vachaburukira kwakadzika kwepasi.
But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
10 Vachaiswa kumunondo vagova zvokudya zvamakava.
They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
11 Asi mambo achafara muna Mwari; vose vanopika nezita raMwari vachamurumbidza, asi miromo yavanoreva nhema ichafumbirwa.
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
