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. God, you are my God! I earnestly search for you, my soul thirsts for you, and my flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

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

So I have looked on you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory.

3 Nokuti rudo rwenyu runokunda upenyu, miromo yangu ichakurumbidzai.

Because your covenant faithfulness is better than life, my lips will praise you.

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

So I will bless you while I live; I will lift up my hands in your name.

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

It will be as if I ate a meal of marrow and fatness; with joyful lips my mouth will praise you,

6 Ndinokurangarirai ndiri pamubhedha wangu; ndinokufungai panguva dzose dzousiku.

when I think about you on my bed and meditate on you in the night hours.

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

For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.

8 Mweya wangu unonamatira kwamuri; ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runonditsigira.

I cling to you; your right hand supports me.

9 Vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu vachaparadzwa; vachaburukira kwakadzika kwepasi.

But those who seek to destroy my life will go down into the lowest parts of the earth;

10 Vachaiswa kumunondo vagova zvokudya zvamakava.

they will be given over to those whose hands use the sword, and they will become food for the jackals.

11 Asi mambo achafara muna Mwari; vose vanopika nezita raMwari vachamurumbidza, asi miromo yavanoreva nhema ichafumbirwa.

But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by him will be proud of him, but the mouth of those who speak lies will be stopped up.
