Mapisarema 64

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

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) You keep my life from the fear of an enemy,

2 Ndivanzei pakurangana kwavakaipa, ndibve pazhowezhowe yeungano yavaiti vezvakaipa.

Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

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

Who sharpened their tongue as a sword, They directed their arrow—a bitter word.

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

To shoot the perfect in secret places, Suddenly they shoot him, and do not fear.

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

They strengthen an evil thing for themselves, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, “Who looks at it?”

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

They search out perverse things, “We perfected a searching search,” And the inward part of man, and the heart, [are] deep.

7 Asi Mwari achavapfura nemiseve; pakarepo vachawira pasi.

And God shoots them [with] an arrow, Their wounds have been sudden,

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

And they cause him to stumble, Their own tongue [is] against them, Every looker on them flees away.

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

And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And they have wisely considered His deed.

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

The righteous rejoice in YHWH, And have trusted in Him, And all the upright of heart boast!
