Mapisarema 70

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Chikumbiro. Kurumidzai kundiponesa, imi Mwari; Haiwa Jehovha kurumidzai kuuya mundibatsire.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David, in remembrance that the Lord had saved him. O God, reach out to help me. O Lord, hasten to assist me.

2 Vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu ngavanyadziswe uye vakanganiswe; vose vanofarira kuparara kwangu ngavadzorwe shure vanyare.

May those who seek my soul be confounded and awed.

3 Vanoti kwandiri, “Hekani waro! Hekani waro!” ngavadzorerwe shure nokuda kwenyadzi dzavo.

May those who wish evils upon me be turned back and blush with shame. May they be turned away immediately, blushing with shame, who say to me: “Well, well.”

4 Asi vose vanokutsvakai ngavafare nokufarisisa mamuri; vanoda ruponeso rwenyu ngavagare vachiti, “Mwari ngaakudzwe!”

Let all who seek you exult and rejoice in you, and let those who love your salvation forever say: “The Lord be magnified.”

5 Asi ndiri murombo nomushayiwi; uyai nokukurumidza kwandiri, imi Mwari. Imi muri mubatsiri wangu nomurwiri wangu; Haiwa Jehovha, musanonoka.

I am truly destitute and poor. O God, assist me. You are my helper and my deliverer. O Lord, do not delay.
