1 Kwa Inu ine ndiyitana, Yehova ndinu Thanthwe langa;

musakhale osamva kwa ine.

Pakuti mukapitirira kukhala chete,

ndidzakhala ngati iwo amene atsikira ku dzenje.

2 Imvani kupempha chifundo kwanga

pomwe ndikuyitana kwa Inu kuti mundithandize,

pomwe ndikukweza manja anga

kuloza ku malo anu oyeretsetsa.

3 Musandikokere kutali pamodzi ndi anthu oyipa,

pamodzi ndi iwo amene amachita zoyipa,

amene amayankhula mwachikondi ndi anzawo

koma akusunga chiwembu mʼmitima mwawo.

4 Muwabwezere chifukwa cha zochita zawo

ndi ntchito zawo zoyipa;

abwezereni chifuwa cha zimene manja awo achita

ndipo mubweretse pa iwo zimene zowayenera.

5 Popeza iwowo sakhudzidwa ndi ntchito za Yehova,

ndi zimene manja ake anazichita,

Iye adzawakhadzula

ndipo sadzawathandizanso.

6 Matamando apite kwa Yehova,

popeza Iye wamva kupempha chifundo kwanga.

7 Yehova ndiye mphamvu yanga ndi chishango changa;

mtima wanga umadalira Iye, ndipo Ine ndathandizidwa.

Mtima wanga umalumphalumpha chifukwa cha chimwemwe

ndipo ndidzayamika Iye mʼnyimbo.

8 Yehova ndi mphamvu ya anthu ake,

linga la chipulumutso kwa wodzozedwa wake.

9 Pulumutsani anthu anu ndipo mudalitse cholowa chanu;

mukhale mʼbusa wawo ndipo muwakweze kwamuyaya.
