1 Inu Yehova ndikukuyitanani; bwerani msanga kwa ine.

Imvani mawu anga pamene ndiyitana Inu.

2 Pemphero langa lifike kwa Inu ngati lubani;

kukweza manja kwanga kukhale ngati nsembe yamadzulo.

3 Yehova ikani mlonda pakamwa panga;

londerani khomo la pa milomo yanga.

4 Musalole kuti mtima wanga ukokedwere ku zoyipa;

kuchita ntchito zonyansa

pamodzi ndi anthu amene amachita zoyipa;

musalole kuti ndidye nawo zokoma zawo.

5 Munthu wolungama andikanthe, chimenecho ndiye chifundo;

andidzudzule ndiye mafuta pa mutu wanga.

Mutu wanga sudzakana zimenezi.

Komabe pemphero langa nthawi zonse ndi lotsutsana ndi ntchito za anthu ochita zoyipa.

6 Olamulira awo adzaponyedwa pansi kuchokera pa malo okwera kwambiri,

ndipo anthu oyipa adzaphunzira kuti mawu anga anayankhulidwa bwino.

7 Iwo adzati, "Monga momwe nkhuni zimamwazikira akaziwaza,

ndi momwenso mafupa athu amwazikira pa khomo la manda."

8 Koma maso anga akupenyetsetsa Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse;

ndimathawira kwa Inu, musandipereke ku imfa.

9 Mundipulumutse ku misampha imene anditchera,

ku makhwekhwe amene anthu oyipa andikonzera.

10 Anthu oyipa akodwe mʼmaukonde awo,

mpaka ine nditadutsa mwamtendere.
