Samu ya Davida.
143 Wena Jehova, uutwe tapelo yaka;+
Uutwe kupo yaka ya kuli unituse.
Unialabe ka kusepahala kwahao ni ka kuluka kwahao.
2 Usike wazekisa mutangaa hao,
Kakuli ku babapila hakuna yakona kuba yalukile fapilaa hao.+
3 Kakuli sila sinindongwami;
Sihatikezi bupilo bwaka fafasi.
Sitahisize kuli nipile mwa lififi sina batu babashwile kale-kale.
4 Moya waka wafokola;+
Pilu yaka imbumbile.+
5 Nihupula mazazi a kwakale;
Nikengeyela zeuezize kaufela;+
Ninahanisisa hahulu musebezi wa mazoho ahao.
6 Ninanulela mazoho aka ku wena;
Niswana sina naha yeomile yenyolezwi wena.+ (Selah)
7 Unialabe kapili, wena Jehova;+
Maata aka afelile.+
Usike wanipatela pata yahao,+
Kuli nisike naswana sina babashetumukela mwa mukoti.+
8 Uniutwise lilato lahao lelisa feli kakusasana,
Kakuli nikusepile.
Unizibise nzila yeniswanela kuzamaya ku yona,+
Kakuli nisikuluhela ku wena.
9 Unilamulele kwa lila zaka, wena Jehova.
Nibata kusilelezwa ki wena.+
10 Unilute kueza tato yahao,+
Kakuli ki wena Mulimu waka.
Moya wahao ki omunde;
Haike unietelele mwa naha yepatami.
11 Wena Jehova, ubukeleze bupilo bwaka kabakala libizo lahao.
Unilamulele mwa ziyezi ka kuluka kwahao.+
12 Uyundise lila zaka kabakala lilato lahao lelisa feli;+
Utimeze kaufela baba ninyandisa,+
Kakuli ni mutangaa hao.+
