1 Mofatsa ndinadikira Yehova

Iye anatembenukira kwa ine ndipo anamva kulira kwanga.

2 Ananditulutsa mʼdzenje lachitayiko,

mʼthope ndi mʼchithaphwi;

Iye anakhazikitsa mapazi anga pa thanthwe

ndipo anandipatsa malo oyimapo olimba.

3 Iye anayika nyimbo yatsopano mʼkamwa mwanga,

nyimbo yamatamando kwa Mulungu wanga.

Ambiri adzaona,

nadzaopa ndipo adzakhulupirira Yehova.

4 Ndi wodala munthu

amakhulupirira Yehova;

amene sayembekezera kwa odzikuza,

kapena kwa amene amatembenukira kwa milungu yabodza.

5 Zambiri, Yehova Mulungu wanga,

ndi zodabwitsa zimene Inu mwachita.

Zinthu zimene munazikonzera ife

palibe amene angathe kukuwerengerani.

Nditati ndiyankhule ndi kufotokozera,

zidzakhala zambiri kuzifotokoza.

6 Nsembe ndi zopereka Inu simuzifuna,

koma makutu anga mwawatsekula;

zopereka zopsereza ndi zopereka chifukwa cha tchimo

Inu simunazipemphe.

7 Kotero ndinati, "Ndili pano, ndabwera.

Mʼbuku mwalembedwa za ine.

8 Ndikufuna kuchita chifuniro chanu, Inu Mulungu wanga;

lamulo lanu lili mu mtima mwanga."

9 Ndikulalikira uthenga wa chilungamo chanu mu msonkhano waukulu;

sinditseka milomo yanga

monga mukudziwa Inu Yehova.

10 Sindibisa chilungamo chanu mu mtima mwanga;

ndinayankhula za kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chipulumutso chanu.

Ine sindiphimba chikondi chanu ndi choonadi chanu

pa msonkhano waukulu.

11 Musandichotsere chifundo chanu Yehova;

chikondi chanu ndi choonadi chanu zinditeteze nthawi zonse.

12 Pakuti mavuto osawerengeka andizungulira;

machimo anga andigonjetsa, ndipo sindingathe kuona.

Alipo ambiri kuposa tsitsi la mʼmutu mwanga,

ndipo mtima wanga ukufowoka mʼkati mwanga.

13 Pulumutseni Yehova;

Bwerani msanga Yehova kudzandithandiza.

14 Onse amene akufunafuna kuchotsa moyo wanga

achititsidwe manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa;

onse amene amakhumba chiwonongeko changa

abwezedwe mwamanyazi.

15 Iwo amene amanena kwa ine kuti, "Hee! Hee!"

abwerere akuchita manyazi.

16 Koma iwo amene amafunafuna Inu

akondwere ndi kusangalala mwa Inu;

iwo amene amakonda chipulumutso chanu

nthawi zonse anene kuti, "Yehova akwezeke!"

17 Komabe Ine ndine wosauka ndi wosowa;

Ambuye andiganizire.

Inu ndinu thandizo langa ndi wondiwombola wanga;

Inu Mulungu wanga, musachedwe.
