Masalmo

1 Wakutsandzaya ndi munthu anakhonda kufamba munjira za anyakuipa,

Wakuti nkhabe kufamba munjira za anyakudawa,+

Pontho nkhabe kukhala na nsoka wa anyakusingirira.+

 2 Mbwenye iye asakomerwa na mwambo wa Yahova,+

Pontho iye asaleri mwambo Wace mwakukhonda galuza* masiku na masikati.+

 3 Iye anadzakhala ninga muti wakutcekwa nʼkhundu-nʼkhundu mwa madzi,

Muti wakuti usabala misapo ndzidzi wace ungafika,

Masamba ace nkhabe bunyala.

 4 Mbwenye anthu anacita pyakuipa nee ali tenepo;

Iwo akhala ninga mapwepwa a tirigu anamburuka na mphepo.

 5 Na thangwi ineyi, anthu anacita pyakuipa anadzatongwa;+

Pontho anyakudawa nee anadzagumanika pakati pa anthu akulungama.+

 6 Thangwi Yahova asadziwa njira za anthu akulungama,+

Mbwenye njira za anthu anacita pyakuipa nee zinadzaonekabve.+
