Mapisarema 57

¹. Ndinzwirei tsitsi, Mwari, ndinzwirei tsitsi; Nokuti mweya wangu unotizira kwamuri; Zvirokwazvo, ndichatizira kumumvuri wamapapiro enyu, Kusvikira njodzi dzapfuura.Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

²Ndichadanidzira kuna Mwari Wokumusorosoro; Kuna Mwari anondiitira zvose.I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

³Achatuma mubatsiri ari kudenga, andiponese, Kana iye, anovavarira kundimedza, achindishora; Mwari achatuma tsitsi dzake nezvokwadi yake.He shall send from heaven, and save from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

⁴Mweya wangu uri pakati peshumba; Ndinovata pasi pakati pavanopfuta somoto, Ivo vanakomana vavanhu, vana meno anenge mapfumo nemiseve, Uye rurimi rwavo munondo unopinza.My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

⁵Imwi mukudzwe Mwari, pamusoro pokudenga-denga; Kurumbidzwa kwenyu ngakuve kumusoro kwapasi pose.Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.

⁶Vakateyira tsoka dzangu mumbure; Mweya wangu wakakotamiswa; Vakachera hunza pamberi pangu; Vawira mukati mayo vamene.They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

⁷moyo wangu wakasimba, Mwari, moyo wangu wakasimba; Ndichaimba, zvirokwazvo, ndichaimba nziyo dzokurumbidza.My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

⁸Muka iwe moyo wangu, muka iwe mutengeranwa nembira; Ini ndimene ndichamuka mangwanani.Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

⁹Ndichakuvongai, Ishe, pakati pendudzi dzavanhu; Ndichakuimbirai nziyo dzokurumbidza pakati pavahedheni.I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

¹⁰Nokuti ngoni dzenyu ihuru kusvikira kudenga-denga, Zvokwadi yenyu inosvikira kudenga rose.For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

¹¹Imi mukudzwe Mwari, kumusoro kwokudenga-denga; Kurumbidzwa kwenyu ngakuve kumusoro kwapasi pose.Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
