1 Ndikulirira Yehova mofuwula;

ndikukweza mawu anga kwa Yehova kupempha chifundo.

2 Ndikukhuthula madandawulo anga pamaso pake;

ndikufotokoza za masautso anga pamaso pake.

3 Pamene mzimu wanga walefuka mʼkati mwanga,

ndinu amene mudziwa njira yanga.

Mʼnjira imene ndimayendamo

anthu anditchera msampha mobisa.

4 Yangʼanani kumanja kwanga ndipo onani;

palibe amene akukhudzika nane.

Ndilibe pothawira;

palibe amene amasamala za moyo wanga.

5 Ndilirira Inu Yehova;

ndikuti, "Ndinu pothawirapo panga,

gawo langa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo."

6 Mverani kulira kwanga

pakuti ndathedwa nzeru;

pulumutseni kwa amene akundithamangitsa

pakuti ndi amphamvu kuposa ine.

7 Tulutseni mʼndende yanga

kuti nditamande dzina lanu.

Ndipo anthu olungama adzandizungulira

chifukwa cha zabwino zanu pa ine.
