1 Yehova imvani pemphero langa,

mvetserani kulira kwanga kopempha chifundo;

mwa kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chilungamo chanu

bwerani kudzandithandiza.

2 Musazenge mlandu mtumiki wanu,

pakuti palibe munthu wamoyo amene ndi wolungama pamaso panu.

3 Mdani akundithamangitsa,

iye wandipondereza pansi;

wachititsa kuti ndikhale mu mdima

ngati munthu amene anafa kale.

4 Choncho mzimu wanga ukufowoka mʼkati mwanga;

mʼkati mwanga, mtima wanga uli ndi nkhawa.

5 Ndimakumbukira masiku amakedzana;

ndimalingalira za ntchito yanu yonse,

ndimaganizira zimene manja anu anachita.

6 Ndatambalitsa manja anga kwa Inu;

moyo wanga uli ndi ludzu lofuna Inu monga nthaka yowuma.

Sela

7 Yehova ndiyankheni msanga;

mzimu wanga ukufowoka.

Musandibisire nkhope yanu,

mwina ndidzakhala ngati iwo amene atsikira ku dzenje.

8 Lolani kuti mmawa ubweretse mawu achikondi chanu chosasinthika,

pakuti ine ndimadalira Inu.

Mundisonyeze njira yoti ndiyendemo,

pakuti kwa Inu nditukulira moyo wanga.

9 Pulumutseni kwa adani anga, Inu Yehova,

pakuti ndimabisala mwa Inu.

10 Phunzitseni kuchita chifuniro chanu,

popeza ndinu Mulungu wanga;

Mzimu wanu wabwino unditsogolere

pa njira yanu yosalala.

11 Sungani moyo wanga Inu Yehova chifukwa cha dzina lanu;

mwa chilungamo chanu tulutseni mʼmasautso anga.

12 Mwa chikondi chanu chosasinthika khalitsani chete adani anga;

wonongani adani anga,

pakuti ndine mtumiki wanu.
