Mapisarema 59

¹Ndirwirei pavavengi vangu, Mwari wangu; Ndiisei pakakwirira kure navanondimukira.Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

²Ndirwirei pavaiti vezvakaipa, Ndiponesei pavanhu veropa.Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

³Nokuti tarirai, vanovandira mweya wangu; Vane simba vakaungana kuzorwa neni; Hakuzi nokuda kwokudarika kwangu kana kwezvivi zvangu, Jehovha.For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

⁴Vanomhanya nokuzvigadzira, ini ndisina mhosva hangu; Mukai mundibatsire, muone.They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

⁵Iyemi Jehovha, Mwari wehondo, Mwari waIsiraeri, Mukai mushanyire vahedheni vose; Musanzwira tsitsi mudariki upi noupi akaipa.Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

⁶Vanodzoka madekwana, vanohuhudza sembwa, Vanopota neguta.They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

⁷Tarirai, vanodzvova nemiromo Minondo iri pamiromo yavo; Nokuti vanoti, Ndianiko anganzwa?Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

⁸Asi imi Jehovha muchavaseka; Muchadadira vahedheni vose.But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

⁹Imi simba rangu, ndichakumirirai; Nokuti Mwari ndiye nhare yangu yakakwirira.Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

¹⁰Mwari wangu achandichingura netsitsi dzake; Mwari achandionesa kukundwa kwavavengi vangu.The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

¹¹Musavauraya, kuti vanhu vangu varege kukanganwa; Muvaparadzire nesimba renyu, muvawisire pasi, Ishe nhovo yedu.Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

¹²Nokuda kwechivi chomuromo wavo, namashoko emiromo yavo, Ngavabatwe pakuzvikudza kwavo, Uye nokuda kwokutuka nenhema dzavanotaura.For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

¹³Vapedzei nehasha, vapedzei, varege kuzovapo; Ngavazive kuti Mwari anobata ushe pakati paJakobho, Kusvikira kumigumo yenyika.Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

¹⁴Panguva yamadekwana ngavadzoke, ngavahuhudze sembwa, Ngavapote-pote neguta.And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

¹⁵Vachadzungaira vachitsvaka zvokudya, Vachagara usiku hwose kana vasingaguti.Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

¹⁶Asi ini ndichaimba ndichireva simba renyu; Zvirokwazvo ndicharumbidza tsitsi dzenyu mangwanani; Nokuti makanga muri nhare yangu yakakwirira, Noutiziro hwangu pazuva rokutambudzika kwangu.But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

¹⁷Ndichakuimbirai nziyo dzokurumbidza, imi simba rangu; Nokuti Mwari ndiye nhare yangu yakakwirira, iye Mwari anondinzwira tsitsi.Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
