2 “Mpaka lini munapi­tiriza kunditsukwalisa,+

Mbamundiphekesa na mafala?+

 3 Mwamala kundisandika* kacikhumi;

Imwe nee musakhala na manyadzo thangwi ya kunditsalakana mwa­kuipa.+

 4 Khala mwandimomwene ndacita madodo,

Madodo anga anapitiriza kukhala na ine.

 5 Mungapitiriza kudzikuza pamaso panga,

Mbamulonga kuti ndathema kuona nyatwa,

 6 Dziwani kuti ndi Mulungu adandinyengeza,

Mbandimanga na nsampha wace.

 7 Bveserani! Ine ndisakhuwa: ‘Ndiri kuthabuswa!’, mbwenye nkhabe ananditawira;+

Ndisapitiriza kuphemba ciphedzo, mbwenye nkhabe anandicitira cilungamo.+

 8 Iye asafunga njira yanga na mpanda wa miyala, mbandicimwana kupita;

Iye aphimbira njira zanga na cidima.+

 9 Iye andibulusira mbiri yanga,

Mbabulusa nthimba munsolo mwanga.

10 Iye asafudza umaso wanga mpaka ine kufa;

Iye asadula cidikhiro canga ninga pinacitwa muti.

11 Iye asaipirwa kakamwe na ine,

Mbandiona ninga nyamalwa wace.+

12 Anyankhondo ace asabwera pabodzi, mbandizungulira,

Pontho iwo asazungulira nsasa wanga.

13 Iye aikha abale anga kutali na ine,

Ale anandidziwa andi­thawa.+

14 Axamwali anga a pantima* andisiya,

Ale akhadziwa ine mwadidi andiduwala.+

15 Alendo a panyumba panga+ na atumiki anga akazi asakhala ninga nee asandidziwa;

Pamaso pawo, ndisakhala ninga ndine munthu wakudza.

16 Ndisacemera ntumiki wanga, mbwenye iye nee asanditawira;

Ndisadembetera na mulomo wanga toera iye andibvere ntsisi.

17 Muya wanga wadzakhala wakunyevusa ntima kuna nkazanga,+

Abale anga* asanyanya­sirwa na khwema yanga. 

18 Na anang’ono ene asandipwaza;

Ndingalamuka, iwo asatoma kundisingirira.

19 Axamwali anga onsene a pantima asandiida,+

Ale akuti ndikhaafuna, andisandukira.+

20 Manungo anga asala magogodo okha-okha,+

Ine ndisabwerera dhuzi na kufa.

21 Ndibvereni ntsisi axamwali anga, ndibvereni ntsisi,

Thangwi djanja ya Mulungu yandikhuya.+

22 Thangwi yanji musapitiriza kundifambira nduli ninga pinacita Mulungu,+

Kodi imwe nkhabe neta na kundithabusa?+

23 Mbapidakhala mwadidi kuti mafala anga alembwe,

Mbapidakhala mwadidi kuti alembwe m’bukhu!

24 Kuti alembwe pamwala toera akhale kwenda na kwenda,

Alembwe na utale, pontho na ntobve!

25 Thangwi ine ndisadziwa mwadidi kuti muomboli wanga+ ali m’maso;

Iye anadzabwera, mbalimira pa dziko yapantsi.*

26 Cincino khanda yanga yamala kudyiwa,

Mbwenye nakuti manungo anga ndiciri nawo, ine ndinadzaona Mulungu,

27 Ine ndinadzamuona na maso anga,

Maso anga anadzamuona, tayu maso a munthu unango.+

29 Ndimwe anafunika kugopa supada,+

Thangwi supada isatcunyusa munthu anadawa;
