1 Ine ndine munthu amene ndaona masautso

2 Wandipititsa kutali ndipo wandiyendetsa

3 zoonadi anandikantha ndi dzanja lake

4 Wakalambitsa khungu langa ndi mnofu wanga,

ndipo waphwanya mafupa anga.

5 Wandizinga ndi kundizungulira

ndi zowawa ndi zolemetsa.

6 Wandikhazika mu mdima

7 Wandimangira khoma kotero kuti sindingathawe,

8 Ngakhale pamene ndifuwula kapena kupempha chithandizo,

9 Wanditsekera njira yanga ndi miyala yosema;

ndipo wakhotetsa tinjira tanga.

10 Wandidikirira ngati chimbalangondo,

11 Wandikokera pambali ndi kundingʼambangʼamba,

ndipo wandisiya wopanda thandizo.

12 Wakoka uta wake

13 Walasa mtima wanga

14 Ndinakhala choseketsa cha anthu anga onse;

amandinyodola mʼnyimbo zawo tsiku lonse.

15 Wandidyetsa zowawa

16 Wathyola mano anga ndi miyala;

17 Wandichotsera mtendere;

ndayiwala kuti kupeza bwino nʼchiyani.

18 Choncho ndikuti, "Ulemerero wanga wachoka

19 Kukumbukira masautso anga ndi kusowa pokhala,

zili ngati zowawa ndi ndulu.

20 Ine ndikuzikumbukira bwino izi,

ndipo moyo wanga wathedwa mʼkati mwanga.

21 Komabe ndimakumbukira zimenezi,

22 Ife sitinawonongekeretu chifukwa chikondi cha Yehova ndi chachikulu,

ndi chifundo chake ndi chosatha.

23 Zimaoneka zatsopano mmawa uliwonse;

24 Mu mtima mwanga ndimati, "Yehova ndiye zanga zonse;

motero ndimamuyembekezera."

25 Yehova ndi wabwino kwa amene amayembekezera Iye,

kwa munthu amene amafunafuna Iyeyo;

26 nʼkwabwino kudikira chipulumutso cha

Yehova modekha.

27 Nʼkwabwino kuti munthu asenze goli

28 Akhale chete pa yekha,

29 Abise nkhope yake mʼfumbi

30 Apereke tsaya lake kwa iye amene angamumenye,

ndipo amuchititse manyazi.

31 Chifukwa Ambuye satayiratu

32 Ngakhale amabweretsa zowawa, Iye adzawachitira chifundo,

chifukwa chikondi chake ndi chosatha.

33 Pakuti sabweretsa masautso mwadala,

kapena zowawa kwa ana a anthu.

34 Kuphwanya ndi phazi

a mʼndende onse a mʼdziko,

35 kukaniza munthu ufulu wake

pamaso pa Wammwambamwamba,

36 kumana munthu chiweruzo cholungama—

37 Kodi ndani angayankhule zinthu nʼkuchitika

38 Kodi zovuta ndi zabwino sizituluka

39 Kodi nʼchifukwa chiyani munthu aliyense wamoyo amadandaula

40 Tiyeni tisanthule ndi kuyesa njira zathu,

ndipo tiyeni tibwerere kwa Yehova.

41 Tiyeni tikweze mitima yathu ndi manja athu

kwa Mulungu kumwamba ndipo tinene kuti:

42 "Ife tachimwa ndi kuwukira

ndipo inu simunakhululuke.

43 "Mwadzikuta ndi mkwiyo ndi kutilondola ndipo

44 Mwadzikuta mu mtambo

kotero mapemphero athu sakukufikani.

45 Mwatisandutsa zinyatsi ndi zinyalala

pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.

46 "Adani anthu atitsekulira pakamwa.

47 Ife tadzazidwa ndi mantha pakuti tagwa mʼdzenje,

tapasuka ndi kuwonongedwa."

48 Misozi mʼmaso mwanga ikungoti mbwembwembwe

49 Misozi idzatsika kosalekeza,

50 mpaka Yehova ayangʼane pansi

51 Mtima wanga ukupweteka poona zimenezi

52 Akundisaka ngati mbalame,

55 Ndinayitana dzina lanu Inu Yehova,

57 Munafika pafupi pamene ndinakuyitanani,
