Mapisarema 64

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

For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

2 Ndivanzei pakurangana kwavakaipa, ndibve pazhowezhowe yeungano yavaiti vezvakaipa.

You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

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

who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

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

to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

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

They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

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

They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

7 Asi Mwari achavapfura nemiseve; pakarepo vachawira pasi.

and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

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

and their tongues have set him at nothing, all that saw them were troubled;

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

and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

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

The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
