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, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.

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

So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.

3 Nokuti rudo rwenyu runokunda upenyu, miromo yangu ichakurumbidzai.

Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.

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

So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.

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

As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise.

6 Ndinokurangarirai ndiri pamubhedha wangu; ndinokufungai panguva dzose dzousiku.

If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches — I meditate on Thee.

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

For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.

8 Mweya wangu unonamatira kwamuri; ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runonditsigira.

Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.

9 Vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu vachaparadzwa; vachaburukira kwakadzika kwepasi.

And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.

10 Vachaiswa kumunondo vagova zvokudya zvamakava.

They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.

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

And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!
