1 Jehovha anobata ushe, nyika ngaifare; zviwi zviri kure ngazvifare.
The LORD reigneth, let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of isles be glad!
2 Makore nerima guru zvakamukomberedza; kururama nokururamisira ndidzo nheyo dzechigaro chake choushe.
Clouds and darkness are round about him; Justice and equity are the foundation of his throne.
3 Moto unoenda mberi kwake uchipisa vavengi vake kumativi ose.
Before him goeth a fire, Which burneth up his enemies around.
4 Mheni yake inovhenekera pasi; nyika inozviona igodedera.
His lightnings illumine the world; The earth beholdeth and trembleth.
5 Makomo anonyungudika senamo pamberi paJehovha, pamberi paIshe wenyika yose.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Kudenga denga kunoparidza kururama kwake, uye vanhu vose vanoona kubwinya kwake.
The heavens declare his righteousness, And all nations behold his glory.
7 Vose vanonamata zvifananidzo vanonyadziswa, avo vanozvirumbidza nezvifananidzo, munamatei, imi vamwari vose!
Confounded be they who worship graven images, Who glory in idols! To him, all ye gods, bow down!
8 Zioni rinonzwa rigofara uye misha yeJudha inofara nokuda kwezvamakatonga, imi Jehovha.
Zion hath heard, and is glad, And the daughters of Judah exult On account of thy judgments, O LORD!
9 Nokuti imi, iyemi Jehovha, ndimi Wokumusoro-soro pasi pose; makasimudzirwa kupfuura vamwari vose.
For thou, O LORD! art most high above all the earth; Thou art far exalted above all gods!
10 Vanoda Jehovha ngavavenge zvakaipa, nokuti anorinda upenyu kwavanhu vake vakatendeka uye anovarwira muruoko rwowakaipa.
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil! He preserveth the lives of his servants, And delivereth them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Chiedza chinovhenekera pamusoro pavakarurama, nomufaro pamusoro pavane mwoyo yakarurama.
Light is sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright in heart.
12 Farai muna Jehovha, imi vakarurama, uye mukudze zita rake dzvene.
Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD, And praise his holy name!
