Mapisarema 97
1 Jehovha anobata ushe, nyika ngaifare; zviwi zviri kure ngazvifare.
INkosi iyabusa; kawuthokoze umhlaba, kazijabule izihlenge ezinengi.
2 Makore nerima guru zvakamukomberedza; kururama nokururamisira ndidzo nheyo dzechigaro chake choushe.
Amayezi lomnyama kuyiphahlile; ukulunga lesahlulelo kuyisisekelo sesihlalo sayo sobukhosi.
3 Moto unoenda mberi kwake uchipisa vavengi vake kumativi ose.
Umlilo uhamba phambi kwayo, utshisa izitha zayo inhlangothi zonke.
4 Mheni yake inovhenekera pasi; nyika inozviona igodedera.
Imibane yayo ikhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba wabona, wathuthumela.
5 Makomo anonyungudika senamo pamberi paJehovha, pamberi paIshe wenyika yose.
Izintaba zancibilika njengengcino phambi kweNkosi, phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.
6 Kudenga denga kunoparidza kururama kwake, uye vanhu vose vanoona kubwinya kwake.
Amazulu atshumayela ukulunga kwayo, labantu bonke babona inkazimulo yayo.
7 Vose vanonamata zvifananidzo vanonyadziswa, avo vanozvirumbidza nezvifananidzo, munamatei, imi vamwari vose!
Bayayangeka bonke abakhonza izithombe, abazikhukhumeza ngezithixo; ikhonzeni, lonke bonkulunkulu.
8 Zioni rinonzwa rigofara uye misha yeJudha inofara nokuda kwezvamakatonga, imi Jehovha.
IZiyoni yezwa, yathokoza, lamadodakazi akoJuda athaba ngenxa yezahlulelo zakho, Nkosi.
9 Nokuti imi, iyemi Jehovha, ndimi Wokumusoro-soro pasi pose; makasimudzirwa kupfuura vamwari vose.
Ngoba wena, Nkosi, uphakeme phezu komhlaba wonke, uphakanyiswe kakhulu phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
10 Vanoda Jehovha ngavavenge zvakaipa, nokuti anorinda upenyu kwavanhu vake vakatendeka uye anovarwira muruoko rwowakaipa.
Lina elithanda iNkosi, zondani okubi; iyagcina imiphefumulo yabangcwele bayo, ibakhulule esandleni sababi.
11 Chiedza chinovhenekera pamusoro pavakarurama, nomufaro pamusoro pavane mwoyo yakarurama.
Ukukhanya kuhlanyelelwe olungileyo, lentokozo abaqotho ngenhliziyo.
12 Farai muna Jehovha, imi vakarurama, uye mukudze zita rake dzvene.
Thokozani eNkosini, lina balungileyo, libonge ekukhumbuleni ubungcwele bayo.
