Mapisarema 138

¹Ndichakuvongai nomoyo wangu wose; Ndichakuimbirai nziyo dzokurumbidza pamberi pavamwari.I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

²Ndichanamata ndakatarira kutemberi yenyu tsvene, Nokuvonga zita renyu nokuda kwounyoro hwenyu nokutendeka kwenyu; Nokuti makakurisa shoko renyu kupfuura zita renyu rose.I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

³Pazuva randakadana makandipindura, Makandisimbisa nesimba pamweya wangu.In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

⁴Madzimambo ose enyika achakuvongai, Jehovha, Nokuti vakanzwa mashoko omuromo wenyu.All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

⁵Zvirokwazvo, vachaimba vachireva nzira dzaJehovha; Nokuti kubwinya kwaJehovha kukuru.Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

⁶Nokuti Jehovha ari kumusoro, kunyange zvakadaro ane hanya neanozvininipisa; Asi anamanyawi Jehovha anomuziva ari kure.Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

⁷Kana ndichifamba pakati penhamo, imi muchandiponesa; Muchatambanudza ruoko rwenyu kudzivisa kutsamwa kwavavengi vangu, Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi ruchandiponesa.Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

⁸Jehovha achandikwanisira zvinhu zvangu; Ngoni dzenyu, Jehovha, dzinogara nokusingaperi; Musarega mabasa amaoko enyu.The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
