Mapisarema 146

¹Hareruya! Rumbidzai Jehovha, iwe mweya wangu!Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

²Ndicharumbidza Jehovha ndichiri mupenyu; Ndichaimbira Mwari wangu nziyo dzokurumbidza, ini ndichiripo.While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

³Regai kuvimba namachinda, Kana noMwanakomana womunhu, asingagoni kubatsira.Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

⁴Mweya wake unobuda, iye ndokudzokera pasi pake; Nezuva iro mano ake anopera.His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

⁵Anomufaro munhu uyo kana Mwari waJakobho ari mubatsiri wake, Anotarira kuna Jehovha Mwari wake.Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

⁶Iye, akaita kudenga napasi, Negungwa, nezvose zviri mukati mazvo; Iye, anoramba akatendeka nokusingaperi;Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

⁷Anoruramisira vanomanikidzwa; Anopa vane nzara zvokudya; Jehovha anosunungura vasungwa;Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

⁸Jehovha anosvinudza meso amapofu; Jehovha anosimudza vakakotamiswa pasi; Jehovha anoda vakarurama;The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

⁹Jehovha anochengeta vatorwa; Jehovha anotsigira nherera nechirikadzi; Asi nzira yavakaipa anoipesanisa.The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

¹⁰Jehovha achabata ushe nokusingaperi, Mwari wako, iwe Ziyoni, kusvikira kumarudzi namarudzi. Hareruya!The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
