Shabach

Exalt the LORD our God who is worthy of praise and honour!

He is clothed in glory and adorned in strength.

Surely there is no God like our God,

He who is dressed in splendour and clad with valour,

Ndianiko akaita saMwari uyu?

The Great and Awesome God,

Whose Name is remembered by the waves and the torrents,

Whose breath quakes the mountains,

And stops the heavenly stars in their orbits,

Hakuna kani wakaita saye!

The LORD our Rock and Shield, our rear and fore-guard,

Our shade by day and fire by night,

He who is a consuming Fire,

Devouring His enemies and yet showing mercy to those who seek His Name,

Omnipotent and omniscient,

Anoshamisa kani Mwari uyu!

I will sing of all His great deeds,

I will extol the LORD our God and fall prostrate before His throne,

In thanksgiving and praise, for He is good,

Awesome in His ways, true to His word

Faithful to His very own nature,

Ndati murumbidzei kani Mwari uyu!

Kuita kwake kunoshamisa, muchinda werugare,

Mambo wemadzimambo, Ishe wemadzishe,

Mudzikinuri mukuru anerudo rusingaperi,

Ayiwa, anoshamisa ngaArumbidzwe!

Amen and amen!
