1 Yehova, ndani angathe kukhala mʼmalo anu opatulika?

Kodi ndani angathe kukhala mʼphiri lanu loyera?

2 Munthu wa makhalidwe abwino,

amene amachita zolungama,

woyankhula choonadi chochokera mu mtima mwake,

3 ndipo mʼkamwa mwake simutuluka mawu osinjirira,

amene sachitira choyipa mnansi wake

kapena kufalitsa mbiri yoyipa ya munthu mnzake,

4 amene sapereka ulemu kwa munthu woyipa.

Koma amalemekeza amene amaopa Yehova,

amene amakwaniritsa zomwe walonjeza

ngakhale pamene zikumupweteka,

5 amene amakongoletsa ndalama zake popanda chiwongoladzanja

ndipo salandira chiphuphu pofuna kutsutsa anthu osalakwa.

Iye amene amachita zinthu zimenezi

sadzagwedezeka konse.
