Mapisarema 97

¹Jehovha anobata ushe; nyika ngaifare kwazvo; Zviwi zvizhinji ngazvifare.The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

²Makore nerima zvinomukomberedza; Kururama nokururamisa ndidzo nheyo dzechigaro chake choushe.Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

³Moto unotungamira pamberi pake, Uchipisa vadzivisi vake pamativi ose.A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

⁴Mheni dzake dzakavheneka nyika yose; Pasi pakaona, ndokubvunda.His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

⁵Makomo akanyauka senamo pamberi paJehovha, Pamberi paShe wapasi pose.The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

⁶Kudenga-denga kunoparidza kururama kwake, Ndudzi dzose dzakaona kubwinya kwake.The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

⁷Vose, vanoshumira mifananidzo yakaveziwa, vanonyadziswa, Ivo vanozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvifananidzo; Namatai kwaari, imi vamwari voseConfounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

⁸Ziyoni rakanzwa ndokufara, Navakunda vaJudha vakafara kwazvo; Nokuda kwezvamakatonga, imi Jehovha.Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.

⁹Nokuti imi Jehovha, muri kumusoro-soro kwapasi pose; Makakwirira kupfuura vamwari vose.For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰Vengai zvakaipa, imi munoda Jehovha; Iye anochengeta mweya yavatsvene vake; Unovarwira paruoko rwawakaipa.Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

¹¹Chiedza chinodzvarirwa wakarurama, Nomufaro vane moyo yakarurama.Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

¹²Farai munaJehovha, imi vakarurama; Vongai pakurangarira utsvene hwake.Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
