< 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 and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 Ndakakuonai munzvimbo yenyu tsvene, uye ndikaona simba renyu nokubwinya kwenyu.
To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Nokuti rudo rwenyu runokunda upenyu, miromo yangu ichakurumbidzai.
Because thy loving-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: 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 shall be 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, [and] meditate on thee in the [night] watches.
7 Nokuti muri mubatsiri wangu, ndinoimba ndiri mumumvuri wamapapiro enyu.
Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
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 fall by the sword: they shall be a portion 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 sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
