Mapisarema 84

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbirwo egititi. Pisarema ravanakomana vaKora. Ugaro hwenyu hwakanaka sei, imi Jehovha Wamasimba Ose!

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

2 Mweya wangu unopanga, uye unotoziya, nokuda kwezvivanze zvaJehovha; mwoyo wangu nenyama yangu zvinodana kuna Mwari mupenyu.

My soul longeth, and even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

3 Kunyange shiri diki yakazviwanira imba, nenyenganyenga yakazviwanirawo dendere kwaingachochonyera vana vayo, iyo nzvimbo iri pedyo nearitari yenyu, imi Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mambo wangu naMwari wangu.

Yes, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thy altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

4 Vakaropafadzwa avo vanogara mumba menyu; vanogara vachikurumbidzai. Sera

Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)

5 Vakaropafadzwa avo vane simba ravo mamuri, vakaisa mwoyo yavo parwendo rweZioni.

Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in whose heart [are] the ways [of them].

6 Pavanopfuura nomuMupata weBhaka, vanouita nzvimbo yamatsime; mvura yomuzhizha inouzadzawo namadziva.

[Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

7 Vanowedzera simba pasimba, kusvikira mumwe nomumwe wavo amira pamberi paMwari muZioni.

They go from strength to strength, [every one of them] in Zion appeareth before God.

8 Inzwai munyengetero wangu, imi Jehovha Mwari Wamasimba Ose; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri, imi Mwari waJakobho. Sera

O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

9 Haiwa Mwari, tariraiwo nhoo yedu; ringirai nenyasha dzenyu pamuzodziwa wenyu.

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thy anointed.

10 Zviri nani kuva pavazhe dzenyu kwezuva rimwe chete, kupfuura mazuva zviuru ndiri kumwe; ndingada zvangu kuva murindi womukova weimba yaMwari wangu kukunda kugara mumatende avakaipa.

For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 Nokuti Jehovha Mwari ndiye zuva nenhoo; Jehovha anopa nyasha nokukudzwa; hapana chinhu chakanaka chaanganyima avo vanofamba zvakarurama.

For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 Haiwa Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, akaropafadzwa munhu anovimba nemi.

O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in thee.
