Mapisarema 4

¹Ndipindurei kana ndichidana,Mwari wokururama kwangu;Pakumanikidzwa kwangu makandiisa pakafarikana;ndinzwirei tsitsi, munzwe munyengetero wangu.Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

²Nhai vanakomana vavanhu kukudzwa kwangu kuchashandurwa kunyadziswa kusvikira rinhiko? Muchada zvisina maturo , nekutsvaka nhema kusvikira rinhi?O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

³Asi zivai kuti Jehovha akazvitsaurira munhu ,anomuda Jehovha uchanzwa kana ndichidana kwaari.But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

⁴Ityai murege kutadza; Tauriranai nemoyo yenyu panhovo dzenyu,muti mwii.Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

⁵Bayirai zvibayiro zvokururama, muvimbe naJehovhaOffer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

⁶Vazhinji variko vanoti, Ndianiko achatiratidza zvakanaka? Jehovha simudzirai pamusoro pedu chiedza chechiso chenyu.There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

⁷makaisa mufaro mumoyo mangu,Unopfuura wavanhu kana zviyo zvavo newaini yavo zvawanzwa.Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

⁸ndichavata pasi nerugare, ndibatwe nehope; Nokuti ndimi moga Jehovha munondigarisa pakasimba.I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
