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 Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:

2 Ndakakuonai munzvimbo yenyu tsvene, uye ndikaona simba renyu nokubwinya kwenyu.

To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;

3 Nokuti rudo rwenyu runokunda upenyu, miromo yangu ichakurumbidzai.

For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

4 Ndichakurumbidzai ndichiri mupenyu, uye ndichasimudza maoko angu muzita renyu.

So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5 Mweya wangu uchagutswa kunge wadya zvakakora kwazvo; muromo wangu uchakurumbidzai nemiromo inofara kwazvo.

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips.

6 Ndinokurangarirai ndiri pamubhedha wangu; ndinokufungai panguva dzose dzousiku.

When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:

7 Nokuti muri mubatsiri wangu, ndinoimba ndiri mumumvuri wamapapiro enyu.

For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.

8 Mweya wangu unonamatira kwamuri; ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runonditsigira.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

9 Vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu vachaparadzwa; vachaburukira kwakadzika kwepasi.

But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth;

10 Vachaiswa kumunondo vagova zvokudya zvamakava.

They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of 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 sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
