Masalmo
Kuna nyakutsogolera nyimbo; maimbiro a Yedhutuni.*+ Nyimbo ya Dhavidhi.
39 Ine ndalonga: “Ndinaonera njira zanga
Toera ndikhonde kudawa na lirimi yanga.+
Ndinafunga mulomo wanga toera kuuonera+
Khala pana ine pana munthu wakuipa.”
2 Ine ndamatama, mbandikhonda kulonga cinthu;+
Ngakhale cinthu cikhale cadidi ine ndapitiriza kumatama,
Mbwenye kupha kukhabva ine kukhali kukulu kakamwe.
3 Ntima wanga ukhapisa kakamwe.
Ndzidzi ukhanyerezera ine, moto ukhapitiriza kugaka.
Natenepa ine ndalonga:
4 “Yahova ndiphedzeni toera ndidziwe kuti mamalisiro anga anakhala api,
Pontho ndidziwe kuti ntsiku zanga ndi zingasi,+
Toera ndidzindikire kuti umaso wanga ndi wa ndzidzi wakucepa.
5 Mwandimomwene, ntsiku zidandipasa imwe ndi zakucepa;+
Pontho pamaso panu, ntsiku za umaso wanga si pinthu tayu.+
Maseze munthu mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi aoneke ninga ndi wakutsidzikizika, iye basi ene ndi ninga muya.+ (Sela)
6 Mwandimomwene, umaso wa munthu wakhala ninga nʼthundzi.
Iye asathamanga-thamanga papezi.
Asagumanya mpfuma mbakhonda dziwa kuti mbani anafuna kuiphatisira.+
7 Imwe Yahova, ninji pontho cinafunika ine kudikhira?
Cidikhiro canga ndimwe basi.
8 Ndiomboleni mʼmadawo anga onsene.+
Lekani kutawirisa kuti ndipwazwe na munthu wakusowa ndzeru.
10 Bulusani kuna ine nyatwa zinandithabusa na imwe.
Ine nkhabebve mphambvu thangwi yakuthabuswa na djanja yanu.
11 Imwe musasandika munthu mbamuntcunyusa thangwi ya madodo ace;+
Imwe musafudza pinthu pinalemedza iye ninga pinacita berethe.
Mwandimomwene anthu onsene ndi ninga muya.+ (Sela)
12 Yahova, bveserani phembero yanga,
Bveserani nʼkhuwo wanga wakuphemba ciphedzo.+
Lekani kupwaza misozi yanga.
Thangwi ine ndine mulendo kuna imwe,+
Munthu anapita pyace na njira* ninga pidacita ambuyanga onsene.+
13 Lekani kundiyangʼana mwakuipirwa toera ine ndikomerwe
Mbandidzati kufa.”
