31 “Ine ndacita cibverano na maso anga.+
Mphapo, ndinakwanisa tani kuyang’ana mwali na cifuno ca kunsirira?+
2 Ndingacita pyenepi, ndinapaswanji na Mulungu bulukira kudzulu,
Ndi unthaka wanji unafuna ine kupaswa na Wamphambvu Zonsene?
3 Kodi pinthu pyakuipa nee pisadikhira kugwera nyakuipa,
Pontho nyatwa nee zisadikhira kugwera ale anacita pinthu pyakuipa?+
4 Kodi iye nee asaona njira zanga,+
Mbalengesa mathanyo anga onsene?
5 Kodi ine ndafamba kale munjira zauthambi?*
Kodi miyendo yanga yathamanga kale toera kuenda kanyengeza?+
6 Mulungu mbandipime na bhalansa yakulinganira;+
Penepo anadzaona kuti ndine munthu wakukhulupirika.+
7 Khala miyendo yanga yasiya kufamba munjira,+
Khala ntima wanga wanyengererwa na maso anga,+
Peno khala manja anga aphata pinthu pyakuipa,
8 Ine ndingabzwala, unango mbadye pidabzwala ine,+
Pontho pire pinabzwala ine, mbapidulwe.*
9 Khala ntima wanga wanyengererwa na nkazi,+
Mbandibisala+ cifupi na nsuwo wa nyumba ya ndzanga toera ndigone na nkazace,
10 Nkazanga mbapeere ufa mamuna unango,
Amuna anango mbapite naye m’mabonde.+
11 Thangwi pyenepi mbapidakhala pinthu pyakupasa manyadzo,
Nseru wakuti mbidathema kutcunyuswa nawo na anyakutonga miseru.+
12 Mbudakhala moto wakuti mbudapisa, mbufudza,+
Mbupisa pinthu pyanga pyonsene.
13 Khala ndakhondera ulungami ntumiki wanga wamamuna peno wankazi,
Pikhali iwo na mulando na ine,
14 Ndinacitanji Mulungu anganditonga?
Ndinantawira tani angandibvundza?+
15 Kodi ule adandicita m’mimba, siye tayu adacitambo iwo?+
Si m’bodzi ene tayu adaticita mbatidzati kubalwa?+
16 Khala ndikhakhonda kupasa anyakutcerenga pinthu pikhafuna iwo,+
Peno kucitisa nzice kuluza cidikhiro;+
17 Khala ndikhadya ndekhene cakudya canga,
Mbandikhonda kupasambo ana aumphawi;+
18 (Thangwi kutomera mu uphale wanga ndakuza mwana waumphawi ninga ndine babace,
Pontho kutomera mu uwana wanga ndisaphedza azice.)
19 Khala ndaona munthu mbakathabuka na mphepo,
Peno nyakutcerenga mbasowa cakufinika;+
20 Khala iye nee akhapereka takhuta kuna ine,+
Mu ndzidzi ukhapisirwa iye na maweya a mabira anga;
21 Khala ndathusa mwana waumphawi na nkono wanga,+
Mu ndzidzi ukhafuna iye ciphedzo canga pansuwo wa nzinda;+
22 Nkono wanga mbugwe buluka paphewa panga,
Nkono wanga mbukhumuke pa cigunkunu canga.
23 Thangwi ine ndikhagopa kuoneswa nyatwa na Mulungu,
Pontho, nee mbidakwanisa kulimira pamaso pa mbiri yace.
24 Khala ndanyindira ouro,
Peno ndapanga ouro yadidi kuti: ‘Iwe ndiwe citsidzikizo canga!’+
25 Khala ndakomerwa thangwi yakunjipa kwa mpfuma yanga,+
Thangwi ya pinthu pizinji piri na ine;+
26 Khala ndaona dzuwa mbigaka,
Peno mwezi mbukafamba na kuyetimira kudzulu;+
27 Ntima wanga mbunyengererwa ncibisobiso,
Mulomo wanga mbumpswompswona manja anga toera kupilambira;+
28 Anewa mbadakhala madodo akuti mbidathema kutcunyuswa nawo na anyakutonga miseru,
Thangwi mbapidapangiza kuti ndakhonda Mulungu wandimomwene.
29 Kodi ine ndakomerwa kale thangwi yakufudzwa kwa nyamalwa wanga,+
Peno ndakomerwa kale thangwi iye agwerwa na nyatwa?
30 Ine cipo ndatawirisa kuti mulomo wanga udawe,
Mbandimpasa dzedze toera iye afe.+
31 Kodi anthu a panyumba panga nee akhalonga kuti:
‘Mbani anadziwa imwe wakuti nee adya cakudya cace mbakhuta naco?’+
32 Nkhabe mulendo akhagona panja namasiku;+
Ndikhafungula misuwo yanga toera kutambira anthu akhapita na njira.
33 Kodi ndayesera kuphimbira madawo anga ninga pinacita anthu anango,+
Mbandibisa madodo anga m’borosa ya nguwo yanga?
34 Kodi ine ndagopa kuti anthu analonganji,
Peno ndagopa kuti mabanja anango anandipwaza,
Mbandimatama, pontho mbandigopa na kubuluka kwene kunja?
35 Mbadaoneka munthu toera kundibvesera!+
Ine mbidalemba dzina yanga pantsi pa pinthu pidalonga ine.
Wamphambvu Zonsene mbanditawire!+
Mbapidakhala mwadidi ule adandisumira alembe pa tsamba pinthu pidandipambizira iye!
36 Ine mbidapithuka paphewa panga,
Pontho mbidapiikha pa nsolo panga ninga nthimba.
37 Ine mbidampangiza mathanyo anga onsene;
Mbidanfendedzera dhuzi mwakukhonda gopa, ninga ntsogoleri.
38 Khala mataka anga akhuwa kuna ine toera kuphemba ciphedzo,
Pontho pikhudhi pyace pyalira pabodzi pene;
39 Khala ndadya misapo yace mwakukhonda lipa,+
Peno khala ndacitisa anaciro ace kuluza cidikhiro;+
40 Natenepa mbimere minga tayu tirigu,
Mbimere miti yakununkha tayu sevadha.”
