Mapisarema 64
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndinzweiwo, imi Mwari, pandinotaura chichemo changu; dzivirirai upenyu hwangu pakutyisidzira kwavavengi.
“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: preserve my life from the dread of the enemy.
2 Ndivanzei pakurangana kwavakaipa, ndibve pazhowezhowe yeungano yavaiti vezvakaipa.
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous assault of the workers of wickedness;
3 Vanorodza ndimi dzavo seminondo, uye vanonanga namashoko avo semiseve inouraya.
Who whet their tongue like a sword, who aim with their arrow, the bitter word:
4 Vanopfura vari pakavanda munhu asina mhosva; vanomupfura pakarepo, vasingatyi.
To shoot in secret at the innocent; 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 plan; they tell secretly of laying snares: they say, Who will see them?
6 Vanorangana kusaruramisira vachiti, “Tafunga zano rakakwana!” Zvirokwazvo mwoyo nomurangariro womunhu zvinonyengera.
They search out iniquities; “We are ready with the carefully searched out device:” and the inward thought and heart of each is deeply [hidden].
7 Asi Mwari achavapfura nemiseve; pakarepo vachawira pasi.
But God shooteth at them suddenly [his] arrow; —[thence] are come their wounds.
8 Achaita kuti ndimi dzavo dzivashandukire, uye achavaisa pakuparadzwa; vose vanovaona vachavadzungudzira misoro vachivaseka.
And their own tongues will stumble over themselves: all that look on them will shake their head.
9 Marudzi ose avanhu achatya; achaparidza mabasa aMwari, uye achafungisisa zvaakaita.
All men shall fear, and shall declare the deeds of God, and understand his works.
10 Vakarurama ngavafare muna Jehovha uye vavande maari; vose vakarurama mumwoyo ngavamurumbidze!
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify themselves.
