Mapisarema 16

¹Ndichengetei, Mwari, nokuti ndinovimba nemi.Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

²Ndakati kuna Jehovha, Ndimi Ishe wangu; Kunze kwenyu handine chinhu chakanaka.O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

³Kana vari vatsvene, vari panyika, Ndivo vakaisvonaka vandinofarira zvikuru.But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

⁴Kuchema kuchawanzwa kwavanovigira mumwe mwari zvipo; Zvipiriso zvavo zvinodururwa zveropa handingazvidururi, Namazita avo handingaarevi nemiromo yangu.Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

⁵Jehovha ndiye mugove wenhaka yangu nowomukombe wangu; Munochengeta mugove wangu.The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

⁶Rwonzi rwokuyera rwakandiyerera nzvimbo dzakanaka; Zvirokwazvo, nhaka yangu yakaisvonaka.The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

⁷Ndicharumbidza Jehovha akandipa mano, Zvirokwazvo, itsvo dzangu dzinondidzidzisa panguva dzousiku.I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

⁸Ndakaisa Jehovha pamberi pangu nguva dzose; Zvaari kurudyi rwangu, handingazununguswi.I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁹Naizvozvo moyo wangu unofara, kukudzwa kwangu kunofarisisa; Nyama yanguvo ichagara yakachengetwa.Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

¹⁰Nokuti hamungasiyi mweya wangu muSheori; Hamungatenderi mutsvene wenyu kuti aone kuora.For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

¹¹Mundiratidza nzira youpenyu; Mufaro wakazara uri pamberi pangu; Paruoko rwenyu rworudyi panezvinofadza nokusingaperi.Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
