Mapisarema 64

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

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy.

2 Ndivanzei pakurangana kwavakaipa, ndibve pazhowezhowe yeungano yavaiti vezvakaipa.

You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquity.

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

For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thing,

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

so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate.

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

They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid. They are resolute in their wicked talk. They have discussed hidden snares. They have said, “Who will see them?”

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

They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heart,

7 Asi Mwari achavapfura nemiseve; pakarepo vachawira pasi.

and God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds,

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

and their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubled;

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

and every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his acts.

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

The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised.
