Mapisarema 7
1 Rwiyo rwaDhavhidhi, rwaakaimbira Jehovha pamusoro paKushi, muBhenjamini. Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, ndinovanda mamuri; ndiponesei uye mundirwire pane vose vanondidzinganisa,
A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in you have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
2 kuti varege kundibvambura seshumba nokundibvambura-bvambura pasina anondinunura.
Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.
3 Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, kana ndichinge ndakaita izvi uye ndine mhosva pamaoko angu,
O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands; )
4 kana ndakaita zvakaipa kuno uya akanga ane rugare neni kana kupamba muvengi wangu pasina mhaka,
if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
5 ipapo muvengi wangu ngaandidzinganise andibate; ngaatsike-tsike upenyu hwangu muvhu uye andivatise muguruva.
Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. (Pause)
6 Simukai, imi Jehovha pakutsamwa kwenyu; simukai murwise hasha dzavavengi vangu. Simukai, Mwari wangu; rayirai kururamisira.
Arise, O Lord, in your wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which you did command.
7 Marudzi akaungana ngaaungane akakupoteredzai. Vatongei imi muri kumusoro;
And the congregation of the nations shall compass you: and for this cause do you return on high.
8 Jehovha ngaatonge marudzi. Nditongei, imi Jehovha, zvakafanira kururama kwangu, zvakafanira kukwaniswa kwangu, imi Wokumusoro-soro.
The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
9 Haiwa, Mwari akarurama, iyemi munonzvera ndangariro nomwoyo, gumisai kuita nesimba kwavakaipa mugoita kuti vakarurama vagare zvakanaka.
Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] you shall direct the righteous, O God that search the hearts and reins.
10 Nhoo yangu ndimi Mwari Wokumusoro-soro, iye anoponesa vane mwoyo yakarurama.
My help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.
11 Mwari ndiye mutongi akarurama, iye Mwari anoratidza hasha dzake zuva nezuva.
God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
12 Kana munhu asingatendeuki, iye acharodza munondo wake; achakunga uta hwake agogadzirira.
If you will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 Agadzirira zvombo zvake zvinouraya; anozvigadzirira miseve yake inopisa.
And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
14 Iye ane mimba yezvakaipa akatakura mimba yokutambudzika achabereka nhema.
Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
15 Uyo anochera gomba, akaridzikisa achawira mugomba raachera.
He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
16 Zvakashata zvake zvichadzokera pamusoro wake; uye kumanikidza kwake kuchauya pamusoro wake.
His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
17 Ndichatenda Jehovha nokuda kwokururama kwake, uye ndichaimbira zita raJehovha Wokumusoro-soro nziyo dzokurumbidza.
I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
