1 Jehovha anobata ushe, ndudzi ngadzidedere; anogara pachigaro choushe chiri pakati pamakerubhi, nyika ngaizungunuke.

Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.

2 Jehovha mukuru paZioni; iye akasimudzirwa pamusoro pendudzi dzose.

Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

3 Ngavarumbidze zita renyu guru rinotyisa, iye mutsvene.

They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —

4 Mambo mukuru, anoda kururamisira, imi makasimbisa kururama; muna Jakobho makaita kururamisira nokururama.

And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Kudzai Jehovha Mwari wedu nokunamata pachitsiko chetsoka dzake; iye mutsvene.

Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 Akataura kwavari ari mushongwe yegore; vakachengeta zvaakatema nemitemo yaakavapa.

He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

8 Haiwa Jehovha Mwari wedu, imi makavapindura; makanga muri Mwari anokanganwira kuna Israeri, kunyange makavaranga pane zvavakaita.

Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

9 Kudzai Jehovha Mwari wedu mumunamate pagomo rake dzvene, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wedu ndiye mutsvene.

Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.
