Mapisarema 7

¹Jehovha Mwari wangu, ndinovimba nemi; Ndiponesei kuna vose vanonditeverera, mundirwire;O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

²Kuti arege kubvambura mweya wangu seshumba, aubvamburanye, ndichishaiwa anondirwira.Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

³Jehovha Mwari wangu, kana ndichinge ndakaita izvozvi; Kana zvakaipa zvirimo mumaoko angu;O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

⁴Kana ndichinge ndakaitira zvakaipa munhu aiva noukama neni; (Izvo, ndakarwira waiva mudzivisi wangu asina mhosva;)If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

⁵Muvengi ngaateverere mweya wangu, aubate; Ngaatsikire upenyu hwangu pasi, Aise kukudzwa kwangu muguruva.Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

⁶Simukai Jehovha, pakutsamwa kwenyu, Simukirai hasha dzavadzivisi vangu; Mumuke nokuda kwangu; ndimi makaraira kuti zvakarurama zviitwe.Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

⁷Ungano yendudzi dzavanhu ngaikupoteredzei; Mudzokere kumusoro pamusoro pavo.So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

⁸Jehovha anotonga ndudzi dzavanhu; Nditongei Jehovha sokururama kwangu, uye nezvokwadi zviri mandiri.The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

⁹Haiwa, kuipa kwavakaipa ngakugume, asi simbisai akarurama; Nokuti Mwari akarurama anoidza moyo netsvo.Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

¹⁰nhovo yangu iri kuna Mwari, Iye anoponesa vane moyo yakarurama.My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

¹¹Mwari mutongi akarurama, Zvirokwazvo, ndiMwari unosvotwa zuva rimwe nerimwe.God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

¹²Kana munhu asingatendeuki, iye acharodza munondo wake; Akakunga uta hwake, akahugadzira.If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

¹³Akazvigadzirirawo nhumbi dzokuuraya nadzo; Anozviitira miseve inopisa.He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

¹⁴Tarira, anotambudzika pakubereka zvakaipa; Zvirokwazvo, akava nemimba yezvakashata, akabereka nhema.Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

¹⁵Akachera hunza, akaidzikisa, Akawira mugomba raakachera iye.He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

¹⁶Zvakashata zvake zvichadzokera pamusoro wake amene, Uye kumanikidza kwake kuchauya pamusoro pedehenya rake.His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

¹⁷Ndichavonga Jehovha nokuda kwokururama kwake; Ndichaimbira zita raJehovha Wokumusoro soro.I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
