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 prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Ndivanzei pakurangana kwavakaipa, ndibve pazhowezhowe yeungano yavaiti vezvakaipa.
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Vanorodza ndimi dzavo seminondo, uye vanonanga namashoko avo semiseve inouraya.
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 Vanopfura vari pakavanda munhu asina mhosva; vanomupfura pakarepo, vasingatyi.
That they may shoot in secret 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 matter: they speak of laying snares secretly; they say, Who shall see them?
6 Vanorangana kusaruramisira vachiti, “Tafunga zano rakakwana!” Zvirokwazvo mwoyo nomurangariro womunhu zvinonyengera.
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 Asi Mwari achavapfura nemiseve; pakarepo vachawira pasi.
But God shall 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 make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 Marudzi ose avanhu achatya; achaparidza mabasa aMwari, uye achafungisisa zvaakaita.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 Vakarurama ngavafare muna Jehovha uye vavande maari; vose vakarurama mumwoyo ngavamurumbidze!
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
