Munthu wokhulupirira Mulungu akhazikika mtima, osaopa kutayika

Mikitamu wa Davide.

¹ Ndisungeni ine, Mulungu: pakuti ndakhulupirira Inu.

² Ndinati kwa Yehova, Inu ndinu Ambuye wanga, ndilibe chabwino china choposa Inu.

³ Za oyera mtima okhala padziko lapansi, iwo ndiwo omveka mbiri, mwa iwowo muli chikondwero changa chonse.

⁴ Zidzachuluka zisoni zao za iwo otsata Mulungu wina. Sindidzathira nsembe zao zamwazi, ndipo sindidzatchula maina ao pakamwa panga.

⁵ Yehova ndiye gawo la cholowa changa ndi chikho changa, ndinu wondigwirira cholandira changa.

⁶ Zingwe zandigwera mondikondweretsa; inde cholowa chokoma ndili nacho.

⁷ Ndidzadalitsa Yehova, amene anandichitira uphungu, usikunso impso zanga zindilangiza.

⁸ Ndaika Yehova patsogolo panga nthawi zonse; popeza ali padzanja langa lamanja, sindidzagwedezeka.

⁹ Chifukwa chake wasekera mtima wanga, nukondwera ulemu wanga; mnofu wanganso udzakhala mokhazikika.

¹⁰ Pakuti simudzasiya moyo wanga kumanda; simudzalola wokondedwa wanu avunde.

¹¹ Mudzandidziwitsa njira ya moyo, pankhope panu pali chimwemwe chokwanira; m'dzanja lanu lamanja muli zokondweretsa zomka muyaya.
