51 Mulungu, ndibvereni ntsisi thangwi ya ufuni wanu wakukhonda mala.+
Fudzani madawo anga thangwi ya ntsisi zanu zikulu.+
Natenepa, pinalonga imwe ndi pyakulungama,
Njira yanu yakutonga ndi yadidi.+
5 Onani! Ine ndabalwa na mulando wa madawo,
Pontho ndine nyakudawa kutomera mu ndzidzi udamita mai wanga mimba yanga.+
6 Mwandimomwene, imwe musakomerwa mungaona undimomwene muntima mwa munthu;+
Ndiphedzeni toera ndikhale na ntima waudziwisi.
7 Tsukani madawo anga na isopo toera ine ndikhale wakucena;+
Ndisambiseni toera ndikhale wakucena kakamwe ninga matalala.+
8 Ndicitiseni kukhala wakukomerwa na wakutsandzaya,
Toera atsandzaye magogodo adaswa imwe.+
9 Lekani kuyangʼana* madawo anga,+
Pontho fudzani* madodo anga onsene.+
11 Lekani kundithamangisa pamaso panu;
Pontho lekani kubulusa nzimu wanu wakucena kuna ine.
12 Ndipaseni pontho kutsandzaya kukhali na ine mu ndzidzi udandipulumusa imwe;+
Ndicitiseni kukhala na cifuno* cakukubverani.
13 Ndinadzapfundzisa njira zanu ale anaswa mitemo yanu,+
Toera anyakudawa abwerere kuna imwe.
14 Imwe Mulungu, Mulungu wacipulumuso canga,+ ndipulumuseni ku mulando wa ciropa,+
Toera lirimi yanga ilonge ulungami wanu mwakutsandzaya.+
15 Yahova, fungulani mulomo wanga,
Toera ndikwanise kukusimbani.+
16 Thangwi imwe nkhabe kufuna ntsembe, mbidakhala tenepo, ine mbidaipereka kuna imwe;+
Imwe nkhabe kukomerwa na ntsembe zakupiswa.+
17 Mulungu asatawira ntsembe za ntima wakusandikika;
Mulungu, imwe nkhabe kukhonda* ntima wakutcunyuka na wakutsukwala.+
18 Citani pinthu pyadidi kuna Sioni;
Mangani pontho mipanda ya Yerusalemu.
19 Penepo imwe munadzakomerwa na ntsembe za anthu akulungama,
Ntsembe zakupiswa na ntsembe zamumphu;
Buluka penepo, ngʼombe zimuna zinadzaperekwa ninga ntsembe pa guwa yanu.+
