Mapisarema 23

¹Jehovha ndiye mufudzi wangu; Hapana chandingashaiwa.The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

²Anondivatisa pasi pamafuro manyoro; Anondisesedza pamvura inozorodza.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

³Anoponesa mweya wangu; Anondifambisa panzira dzokururama nokuda kwezita rake.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

⁴Zvirokwazvo, kunyange ndikafamba mumupata womumvuri worufu, Handingatongotyi zvakaipa; nokuti imi muneni; Tsvimbo yenyu nomudonzvo wenyu zvinondinyaradza.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

⁵Munondigadzirira chokudya pamberi pavadzivisi vangu; Makazodza musoro wangu namafuta; mukombe wangu unopfachuka.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

⁶Zvirokwazvo unyoro nenyasha zvichanditevera mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu; Ini ndichagara mumba maJehovha mazuva namazuva.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
