< 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 longeth for thee in a dry land, and it is faint without water.
2 Ndakakuonai munzvimbo yenyu tsvene, uye ndikaona simba renyu nokubwinya kwenyu.
As I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, seeing thy strength and thy glory;
3 Nokuti rudo rwenyu runokunda upenyu, miromo yangu ichakurumbidzai.
Because thy kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee:
4 Ndichakurumbidzai ndichiri mupenyu, uye ndichasimudza maoko angu muzita renyu.
Thus will I bless thee while I live; in thy name will I lift up my hands.
5 Mweya wangu uchagutswa kunge wadya zvakakora kwazvo; muromo wangu uchakurumbidzai nemiromo inofara kwazvo.
As with fat and marrow will my soul be satisfied; and with tuneful lips shall my mouth praise thee.
6 Ndinokurangarirai ndiri pamubhedha wangu; ndinokufungai panguva dzose dzousiku.
When I remember thee upon my couch, I meditate on thee in the night-watches.
7 Nokuti muri mubatsiri wangu, ndinoimba ndiri mumumvuri wamapapiro enyu.
Because thou hast been a help unto me; and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing rejoicingly.
8 Mweya wangu unonamatira kwamuri; ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runonditsigira.
My soul cleaveth unto following thee: me thy right hand upholdeth.
9 Vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu vachaparadzwa; vachaburukira kwakadzika kwepasi.
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go down into the lowest deeps of the earth.
10 Vachaiswa kumunondo vagova zvokudya zvamakava.
They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword: they shall become a prey for jackals.
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 glorify himself; for the mouth of those that speak falsehood shall be stopped.
