Mapisarema 129

¹Vakanditambudza kazhinji kubva pauduku hwangu, Isiraeri ngaadaro zvino;Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

²Vakanditambudza kazhinji kubva pauduku hwangu; Kunyange zvakadaro havana kundikunda.Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

³Varimi vakarima pamusana wangu; Vakaita mihoronga yavo mirefu.The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

⁴Jehovha akarurama; Akaguranya mabote avakaipa.The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

⁵Ngavanyadziswe, vadzoserwe shure, Ivo vose vanovenga Ziyoni.Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

⁶Ngavave souswa pamatenga eimba, Hunooma husati hwakura;Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

⁷Mucheki haazadzi ruoko rwake nahwo, Uye anosunga zvisote, fungatwa rake.Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

⁸Navanopfuura havangati, Jehovha ngaakuropafadzei; Tinokuropafadzai nezita raJehovha.Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
