Mapisarema 71
1 Ndinovanda mamuri, imi Jehovha; ngandirege kutongonyadziswa.
By David, [a Psalm sung by] the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. O Lord, I have hoped in you: let me never be put to shame.
2 Ndinunurei uye mundirwire mukururama kwenyu; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri uye mundiponese.
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me: incline your ear to me, and save me.
3 Ivai bako rangu rokuvanda kwandingaramba ndichienda; rayirai kuti ndiponeswe, nokuti ndimi dombo rangu nenhare yangu.
Be to me a protecting God, and a strong hold to save me: for you are my fortress and my refuge.
4 Haiwa Mwari wangu, ndirwirei, paruoko rwowakaipa, pakubatwa navanhu vakaipa uye vane utsinye.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man.
5 Nokuti muri tariro yangu, imi Ishe Jehovha, ndakavimba nemi kubva pauduku hwangu.
For you are my support, O Lord; O Lord, [you are] my hope from my youth.
6 Ndakazendamira pamuri kubva pakuberekwa kwangu; ndimi makandibudisa mudumbu ramai vangu. Ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai.
On you have I been stayed from the womb: from the belly of my mother you are my protector: of you is my praise continually.
7 Ndava sechishamiso kuvazhinji, asi imi muri utiziro hwangu hwakasimba.
I am become as it were a wonder to many: but you are [my] strong helper.
8 Muromo wangu uzere nerumbidzo yenyu, ndinoparidza kubwinya kwenyu zuva rose.
Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may hymn your glory, [and] your majesty all the day.
9 Regai kundirasa pandinenge ndakwegura; musandisiya kana simba rangu rapera.
Cast me not off at the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
10 Nokuti vavengi vangu vanotaura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu; avo vakamirira kundiuraya vanorangana pamwe chete.
For mine enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together,
11 Vanoti, “Mwari amusiya; muteverei mumubate, nokuti hakuna achamununura.”
saying, God has forsaken him: persecute you and take him; for there is none to deliver [him].
12 Regai kuva kure neni, imi Mwari; uyai nokukurumidza, imi Mwari wangu, mundibatsire.
O God, go not far from me, O my God, draw near to my help.
13 Vapomeri vangu ngavaparare vanyadziswe; vaya vanoda kundikuvadza ngavafukidzwe nokusekwa nokunyadziswa.
Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: let those that seek my hurt be clothed with shame and dishonour.
14 Asi kana ndirini, ndichagara ndine tariro; ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai zvakanyanya.
But I will hope continually, and will praise you more and more.
15 Muromo wangu uchareva zvokururama kwenyu, nezvoruponeso rwenyu zuva rose, kunyange ndisingazivi chiyero charwo.
My mouth shall declare your righteousness openly, [and] your salvation all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs [of men].
16 Ndichauya ndichiparidza mabasa enyu makuru, imi Ishe Jehovha; ndichaparidza kururama kwenyu, iyemi moga.
I will go on in the might of the Lord: O Lord, I will make mention of your righteousness only.
17 Kubva pauduku hwangu, imi Mwari, makandidzidzisa, nanhasi uno ndinoparidza mabasa enyu anoshamisa.
O God, you have taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare your wonders;
18 Kunyange pandinenge ndakwegura uye bvudzi rachena, musandisiya, imi Mwari, kusvikira ndaparidza simba renyu kurudzi runotevera, nesimba renyu kuna vose vari kuzouya.
even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared your arm to all the generation that is to come:
19 Kururama kwenyu kunosvika kudenga kumusoro, imi Mwari, iyemi makaita zvinhu zvikuru. Haiwa Mwari, ndiani akafanana nemi?
even your power and your righteousness, O God, up to the highest [heavens, even] the mighty works which you has done: O God, who is like to you?
20 Kunyange imi makandiratidza matambudziko mazhinji uye anorwadza, muchadzosa upenyu hwangu zvakare; kubva kwakadzika kwepasi muchandibudisazve.
What afflictions many and sore have you showed me! yet you did turn and quicken me, and brought me again from the depths of the earth.
21 Muchawedzera kukudzwa kwangu, uye muchandinyaradzazve.
You did multiply your righteousness, and did turn and comfort me, and brought me again out of the depths of the earth.
22 Ndichakurumbidzai nembira nokuda kwokutendeka kwenyu, imi Mwari wangu; ndichakurumbidzai nenziyo nomutengeranwa, imi Mutsvene woga waIsraeri.
I will also therefore give thanks to you, O God, [because of] your truth, on an instrument of psalmody: I will sing psalms to you on the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Miromo yangu ichadanidzira nomufaro pandinokurumbidzai nenziyo, iyeni, wamakadzikinura.
My lips shall rejoice when I sing to you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.
24 Rurimi rwangu ruchataura nezvamabasa enyu akarurama zuva rose, nokuti avo vaida kundikuvadza vanyadziswa uye vakanganiswa.
Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon your righteousness; when they shall be ashamed and confounded that seek my hurt.
