Mapisarema 43

¹Nditongerei Mwari, mundireverere pamhosva yangu parudzi rusina tsitsi; Ndirwirei pamunhu anonyengera asina kururama.Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

²Nokuti ndimi Mwari simba rangu; mandirasireiko? Ndinofambireiko ndichichema nokuda kwokumanikidza kwomuvengi?For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

³Tumai chiedza chenyu nezvokwadi yenyu; zvinditungamirire; Zvindisvitse kugomo renyu dzvene, Nokutabhenakeri dzenyu.O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

⁴Ipapo ndichasvika kuaritari yaMwari, Kuna Mwari, iye mufaro wangu mukuru; Ndichakurumbidzai nembira, imi Mwari, Mwari wangu.Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

⁵Unosuwireiko, mweya wangu? Unoshaiwa rugare neiko mukati mangu? Tarira kuna Mwari; nokuti ndichazomurumbidza hangu, Iye muponesi wechiso changu, naMwari wangu.Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
