Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
2 Ngatisvikei pamberi pake nokuvonga uye timukudze nenziyo.
We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
3 Nokuti Jehovha ndiye Mwari mukuru, Mambo mukuru pamusoro pavamwari vose.
Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
4 Nzvimbo dzakadzika dzapanyika dziri muruoko rwake, uye misoro yamakomo ndeyake.
He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
5 Gungwa nderake, nokuti ndiye akariita, uye maoko ake akaumba nyika yakaoma.
The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
6 Uyai tikotame, tinamate, ngatipfugamei pamberi paJehovha Muiti wedu;
We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
7 nokuti ndiye Mwari wedu, uye isu tiri vanhu vanofudzwa naye, makwai anochengetwa naye. Nhasi kana muchinzwa inzwi rake,
He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 musaomesa mwoyo yenyu sezvamakaita paMeribha, sezvamakaita pazuva riya paMasa mugwenga,
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 pandakaedzwa namadzibaba enyu kunyange vakanga vaona zvandakanga ndaita.
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 Ndakatsamwira rudzi urwu kwamakore makumi mana; ndakati, “Ava vanhu vane mwoyo yakatsauka, uye havana kuziva nzira dzangu.”
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 Saka ndakapika pakutsamwa kwangu ndikati, “Havangazombopindi pazororo rangu.”
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
