Mapisarema 64

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndinzweiwo, imi Mwari, pandinotaura chichemo changu; dzivirirai upenyu hwangu pakutyisidzira kwavavengi.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Ndivanzei pakurangana kwavakaipa, ndibve pazhowezhowe yeungano yavaiti vezvakaipa.

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

3 Vanorodza ndimi dzavo seminondo, uye vanonanga namashoko avo semiseve inouraya.

Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

4 Vanopfura vari pakavanda munhu asina mhosva; vanomupfura pakarepo, vasingatyi.

That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 Vanokurudzira mumwe nomumwe wavo pakufunga zvakaipa, vanotaura pamusoro pokuteya misungo yavo, uye vanoti, “Ndianiko achaiona?”

They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?

6 Vanorangana kusaruramisira vachiti, “Tafunga zano rakakwana!” Zvirokwazvo mwoyo nomurangariro womunhu zvinonyengera.

They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, [say they], a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

7 Asi Mwari achavapfura nemiseve; pakarepo vachawira pasi.

But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.

8 Achaita kuti ndimi dzavo dzivashandukire, uye achavaisa pakuparadzwa; vose vanovaona vachavadzungudzira misoro vachivaseka.

So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.

9 Marudzi ose avanhu achatya; achaparidza mabasa aMwari, uye achafungisisa zvaakaita.

And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing.

10 Vakarurama ngavafare muna Jehovha uye vavande maari; vose vakarurama mumwoyo ngavamurumbidze!

The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory.
