22 Mulungu wanga, Mulungu wanga, thangwi yanji mwandisiya?+
Thangwi yanji nee mwabwera kudzandipulumusa,
Thangwi yanji nee mwabva nʼkhuwo wa kubulira kwanga?+
2 Mulungu wanga, ine ndisakucemerani namasikati, mbwenye imwe nkhabe kunditawira;+
Ngakhale namasiku, ine ndisapitiriza kukucemerani.
5 Iwo akhakhuwa kuna imwe, pontho akhapulumuswa;
8 “Iye aperekeka kuna Yahova. Natenepa Iye mbampulumuse!
Nakuti Mulungu akomerwa naye, Iye mbampulumuse!”+
9 Ndimwe adandibulusa mʼmimba mwa mai wanga,+
Imwe mwanditsidzikiza mu ndzidzi ukhandiyamwisa mai wanga.
10 Kutomera ntsiku idabalwa ine, ndaperekwa mʼmanja mwanu toera munditsalakane;
Imwe ndimwe Mulungu wanga kutomera ndzidzi ukhali ine mʼmimba mwa mai wanga.
11 Lekani kukhala kutali na ine, thangwi nyatwa ziri dhuzi+
Pontho nkhabe munthu unango toera kundiphedza.+
13 Izo zisafungula milomo yazo toera kundidya,+
Ninga nkhalamu yakulira yakuti isakhwedzula nyama idaphata iyo.+
14 Ine ndathirirwa pantsi ninga madzi;
Magogodo anga onsene amala lekana-lekana.
15 Ine nkhabebve mphambvu, basi ene ndasala ninga dzinga;+
Lirimi yanga yaphatirira nkanwa mwanga;+
Imwe mwandibweresa nʼdjenje toera ndife.+
16 Thangwi anambwa andizungulira;+
Iwo andizungulira ninga pinacita nsoka wa mapanga,+
Ninga nkhalamu, iwo akuluma manja anga na manyalo anga.+
17 Ine ndinakwanisa kulengesa magogodo anga onsene.+
Anyamalwa anga asandiona, mbapitiriza kundiyangʼana.
19 Mbwenye imwe Yahova, lekani kukhala kutali na ine.+
Imwe ndimwe mphambvu yanga, bwerani mudzandiphedze mwakucimbiza.+
20 Ndipulumuseni toera ndikhonde kuphiwa na supada,
Pulumusani umaso wanga wakufunika kakamwe* mʼmanyalo* mwa anambwa;+
21 Ndipulumuseni nkanwa mwa nkhalamu,+ pontho toera ndikhonde kulaswa na nyanga za nyati;
Nditawireni, pontho ndipulumuseni.
23 Imwe anagopa Yahova, nsimbeni!
Imwe monsene a dzindza* ya Yakobe, mpaseni mbiri!+
Mulemedzeni imwe monsene a dzindza* ya Izraeli.
24 Iye nee afunga maso ace toera akhonde kuona kuthabuka kwa munthu anapondererwa;+
Iye nee amʼbisira nkhope yace.+
Pidakhuwa iye toera kuphemba ciphedzo, iye amubva.+
25 Ndinakusimbani mu mpingo ukulu;+
Ndinadzakwanirisa mapikiro anga pamaso pa ale anakugopani.
Khalani na umaso* kwenda na kwenda.
27 Anthu onsene pa dziko yonsene yapantsi anadzakumbuka Yahova mbabwerera kuna iye.
Misoka yonsene ya madzindza inadzagodama pamaso panu.+
28 Yahova ndi Mambo;+
Iye asatonga madzindza onsene.
29 Anthu onsene akupfuma* pa dziko yapantsi anadzadya mbanʼgodamira;
Onsene ale anaenda kupfumbi anadzagodama pamaso pace;
Nee mʼbodzi wa iwo anakwanisa kupulumusa umaso wace.
30 Dzindza* yawo inadzantumikira;
Ubalwi wantsogolo unadzapangwa pya Yahova.
31 Iwo anadzalonga pya mabasace akulungama.
Iwo anadzalonga pinthu pinacita iye kuna anthu anafuna kubalwa.
