2 Nʼchifukwa chiyani pamene ndinabwera kudzakupulumutsani panalibe munthu?

Pamene ndinayitana, nʼchifukwa chiyani panalibe wondiyankha?

Kodi dzanja langa ndi lalifupi kuti nʼkulephera kukuwombolani?

Kodi ndilibe mphamvu zokupulumutsirani?

Ndi kudzudzula kokha ndinawumitsa nyanja yayikulu,

mitsinje ndinayisandutsa chipululu;

nsomba za mʼmenemo zinawola chifukwa chosowa madzi;

ndipo zinafa ndi ludzu.

3 Ndinaphimba thambo ndi mdima

ndipo chiguduli chinakhala chofunda chake."

4 Ambuye Yehova anandiphunzitsa mawu oyenera kuyankhula
