Mapisarema 11

¹Ndinovimba naJehovha; Munoreva seiko kumweya wangu, muchiti, Tizira kugomo rako seshiri?In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

²Nokuti, tarira, vakaipa vanohwembura uta, Vanogadzira museve wavo parukungiso, Kuti vafure anomoyo wakarurama parima.For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

³Kana nheyo dzakaparadzwa, Akarurama angaiteiko?If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

⁴Jehovha uri mutemberi yake tsvene, Iye Jehovha, chigaro chake choushe chiri kudenga; Meso ake anotarira, mafungiro ameso ake anoidza vana vavanhu.The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

⁵Jehovha anoidza vakarurama; Asi mweya wake unovenga wakaipa neanomanikidza.The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

⁶Achanisira misungo pamusoro pavakaipa; Moto nesuriferi nemhepo inopisa, ndiwo uchava mukombe wavo wavakagoverwa.Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

⁷Nokuti Jehovha akarurama; anoda zvakarurama; Vakarurama vachaona chiso chake.For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
