Mapisarema 30

¹Ndichakukudzai zvikuru, Jehovha; nokuti makandisimudza, Hamuna kutendera vavengi vangu kufara nokuda kwangu.I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

²Jehovha, Mwari wangu, Ndakachema kwamuri, imi mukandiponesa.O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

³Jehovha, makabudisa mweya wangu paSheori; Makachengeta upenyu hwangu, kuti ndirege kuburukira kugomba.O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

⁴Imbirai Jehovha nziyo dzokurumbidza, imi vatsvene vake, Muvonge kana muchirangarira zita rake dzvene.Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

⁵Nokuti kutsamwa kwake kuripo chinguva chiduku; Asi ngoni dzake ndedzoupenyu hwose. Kuchema kungavapo madekwana, Asi mufaro unosvika mangwanani.For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

⁶Kana ndirini, ndakati pakufara kwangu, Handingatongozununguswi.And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

⁷Imi Jehovha, nengoni dzenyu makamisa gomo rangu nesimba; Makavanza chiso chenyu; ini ndikatambudzika.LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

⁸Ndakachema kwamuri, Jehovha; Uye ndakakumbira kuna Jehovha;I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

⁹Ropa rangu ringandibatsireiko, kana ndichaburukira kugomba? Guruva ringakurumbidzai here? Ringadudzira zvokwadi yenyu here?What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

¹⁰Inzwai Jehovha, mundinzwirei tsitsi; Jehovha, ivai mubatsiri wangu.Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

¹¹Makashandura kuchema kwangu kukava kutamba; Makasunungura gumbo rangu, mukasunga chiuno changu nomufaro;Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

¹²Kuti mweya wangu ukuimbirei nziyo dzokurumbidza, urege kunyarara. Jehovha Mwari wangu, ndichakuvongai nokusingaperi.To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
