Mapisarema 142

¹Ndinodanidzira nenzwi rangu kuna Jehovha; Nenzwi rangu ndinonyengetera kuna Jehovha.I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

²Ndinodurura kuchema kwangu pamberi pake; Ndinomuzivisa kutambudzika kwangu.I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

³Panguva yokumanikidzwa kwomweya wangu mukati mangu, makaziva nzira yangu. Panzira yandinofamba nayo vakandivanzira musungo.When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

⁴Tarirai kurudyi rwangu, muone; nokuti hakuna munhu anondiziva; Ndashaiwa utiziro; hakuna munhu ane hanya nomweya wangu.I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

⁵Ndakadanidzira kwamuri, Jehovha; Ndakati, Ndimi utiziro hwangu, Nomugove wangu panyika yavapenyu.I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

⁶Teererai kudanidzira kwangu; nokuti ndinoshaiwa simba kwazvo; Ndirwirei panavanonditambudza; nokuti vanondikurira nesimba.Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

⁷Budisai mweya wangu patorongo, kuti ndivonge zita renyu; Vakarurama vachandipoteredza; Nokuti muchandiitira zvakanaka kwazvo.Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
