Mapisarema 71
1 Ndinovanda mamuri, imi Jehovha; ngandirege kutongonyadziswa.
In you, O Lord, I take refuge, let me never be put to shame.
2 Ndinunurei uye mundirwire mukururama kwenyu; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri uye mundiponese.
In your faithfulness save me and rescue me, bend 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 rock of defence, a fortified house, to save me; for my rock and my fortress are you.
4 Haiwa Mwari wangu, ndirwirei, paruoko rwowakaipa, pakubatwa navanhu vakaipa uye vane utsinye.
Save me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
5 Nokuti muri tariro yangu, imi Ishe Jehovha, ndakavimba nemi kubva pauduku hwangu.
For you, Lord, are my hope, in whom from my youth I have trusted.
6 Ndakazendamira pamuri kubva pakuberekwa kwangu; ndimi makandibudisa mudumbu ramai vangu. Ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai.
On you have I leaned from my birth; from my mother’s womb it was you who did draw me. In you is my hope evermore.
7 Ndava sechishamiso kuvazhinji, asi imi muri utiziro hwangu hwakasimba.
I have been as a wonder to many, for you are my refuge and strength.
8 Muromo wangu uzere nerumbidzo yenyu, ndinoparidza kubwinya kwenyu zuva rose.
All the day long my mouth is filled with your praise and your glory.
9 Regai kundirasa pandinenge ndakwegura; musandisiya kana simba rangu rapera.
Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength is spent, forsake me not.
10 Nokuti vavengi vangu vanotaura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu; avo vakamirira kundiuraya vanorangana pamwe chete.
For my foes whisper against me, they who watch me take counsel together;
11 Vanoti, “Mwari amusiya; muteverei mumubate, nokuti hakuna achamununura.”
“God has left him,” they say: “pursue and seize him, for he is helpless.”
12 Regai kuva kure neni, imi Mwari; uyai nokukurumidza, imi Mwari wangu, mundibatsire.
O God, be not far from me, haste, O my God, to my help.
13 Vapomeri vangu ngavaparare vanyadziswe; vaya vanoda kundikuvadza ngavafukidzwe nokusekwa nokunyadziswa.
Put my foes to shame and dishonor, with insult and shame be they covered.
14 Asi kana ndirini, ndichagara ndine tariro; ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai zvakanyanya.
But I will never stop hoping, and more and yet more will I praise you.
15 Muromo wangu uchareva zvokururama kwenyu, nezvoruponeso rwenyu zuva rose, kunyange ndisingazivi chiyero charwo.
All the day long shall my mouth tell your faithfulness and your salvation, though I know not how they may be counted.
16 Ndichauya ndichiparidza mabasa enyu makuru, imi Ishe Jehovha; ndichaparidza kururama kwenyu, iyemi moga.
I will tell of the might of the Lord, and your faithfulness praise, you alone.
17 Kubva pauduku hwangu, imi Mwari, makandidzidzisa, nanhasi uno ndinoparidza mabasa enyu anoshamisa.
You have taught me, O God, from my youth, and till now have I told of 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 in old age and grey hair, O God, do not forsake me. Still would I tell of your might unto all generations to come.
19 Kururama kwenyu kunosvika kudenga kumusoro, imi Mwari, iyemi makaita zvinhu zvikuru. Haiwa Mwari, ndiani akafanana nemi?
Your power and your justice, O God, extend as far as the heavens: for great are the things you have done. Who is like you, O God?
20 Kunyange imi makandiratidza matambudziko mazhinji uye anorwadza, muchadzosa upenyu hwangu zvakare; kubva kwakadzika kwepasi muchandibudisazve.
You have caused us to see troubles many, but you will revive us again. From the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.
21 Muchawedzera kukudzwa kwangu, uye muchandinyaradzazve.
You will multiply my greatness, and comfort me again.
22 Ndichakurumbidzai nembira nokuda kwokutendeka kwenyu, imi Mwari wangu; ndichakurumbidzai nenziyo nomutengeranwa, imi Mutsvene woga waIsraeri.
So with harp I will praise you, and your faithfulness, O my God; and make music to you on the lyre, O you Holy One of Israel.
23 Miromo yangu ichadanidzira nomufaro pandinokurumbidzai nenziyo, iyeni, wamakadzikinura.
My lips shall ring out their joy, my mouth shall sing praises to you; all of me, which you have redeemed.
24 Rurimi rwangu ruchataura nezvamabasa enyu akarurama zuva rose, nokuti avo vaida kundikuvadza vanyadziswa uye vakanganiswa.
Yes, all the day long shall my tongue utter your righteousness; for ashamed and confounded are they who were seeking my hurt.
