1Ine ndine munthu amene ndaona masautso

2Wandipititsa kutali ndipo wandiyendetsa
mu mdima osati mʼkuwala;
3zoonadi anandikantha ndi dzanja lake
mobwerezabwereza tsiku lonse.
4Wakalambitsa khungu langa ndi mnofu wanga,
ndipo waphwanya mafupa anga.
5Wandizinga ndi kundizungulira
ndi zowawa ndi zolemetsa.
6Wandikhazika mu mdima
ngati amene anafa kale.
7Wandimangira khoma kotero kuti sindingathawe,
wandimanga ndi maunyolo.
8Ngakhale pamene ndifuwula kapena kupempha chithandizo,
amakana pemphero langa.
9Wanditsekera njira yanga ndi miyala yosema;
ndipo wakhotetsa tinjira tanga.
10Wandidikirira ngati chimbalangondo,
wandibisalira ngati mkango.
11Wandikokera pambali ndi kundingʼambangʼamba,
ndipo wandisiya wopanda thandizo.
12Wakoka uta wake
ndipo walunjikitsa mivi yake pa ine.
13Walasa mtima wanga
ndi mivi ya mʼphodo mwake.
14Ndinakhala choseketsa cha anthu anga onse;
amandinyodola mʼnyimbo zawo tsiku lonse.
15Wandidyetsa zowawa
ndipo wandimwetsa ndulu.
16Wathyola mano anga ndi miyala;
wandiviviniza mʼfumbi;
17Wandichotsera mtendere;
ndayiwala kuti kupeza bwino nʼchiyani.
18Choncho ndikuti, “Ulemerero wanga wachoka
ndi zonse zimene ndimayembekeza kwa Yehova.”
19Kukumbukira masautso anga ndi kusowa pokhala,
zili ngati zowawa ndi ndulu.
20Ine ndikuzikumbukira bwino izi,
ndipo moyo wanga wathedwa mʼkati mwanga.
21Komabe ndimakumbukira zimenezi,
nʼchifukwa chake ndili ndi chiyembekezo.
22Ife sitinawonongekeretu chifukwa chikondi cha Yehova ndi chachikulu,
ndi chifundo chake ndi chosatha.
23Zimaoneka zatsopano mmawa uliwonse;
kukhulupirika kwanu nʼkwakukulu.
24Mu mtima mwanga ndimati, “Yehova ndiye zanga zonse;
motero ndimamuyembekezera.”
25Yehova ndi wabwino kwa amene amayembekezera Iye,
kwa munthu amene amafunafuna Iyeyo;
26nʼkwabwino kudikira chipulumutso cha
Yehova modekha.
27Nʼkwabwino kuti munthu asenze goli
pamene ali wamngʼono.
28Akhale chete pa yekha,
chifukwa Yehova wamusenzetsa golilo.
29Abise nkhope yake mʼfumbi
mwina chiyembekezo nʼkukhalapobe.
30Apereke tsaya lake kwa iye amene angamumenye,
ndipo amuchititse manyazi.
31Chifukwa Ambuye satayiratu
anthu nthawi zonse.
32Ngakhale amabweretsa zowawa, Iye adzawachitira chifundo,
chifukwa chikondi chake ndi chosatha.
33Pakuti sabweretsa masautso mwadala,
kapena zowawa kwa ana a anthu.
34Kuphwanya ndi phazi
a mʼndende onse a mʼdziko,
35kukaniza munthu ufulu wake
pamaso pa Wammwambamwamba,
36kumana munthu chiweruzo cholungama—
kodi Ambuye saona zonsezi?
37Kodi ndani angayankhule zinthu nʼkuchitika
ngati Ambuye sanavomereze?
38Kodi zovuta ndi zabwino sizituluka
mʼkamwa mwa Wammwambamwamba?
39Kodi nʼchifukwa chiyani munthu aliyense wamoyo amadandaula
akalangidwa chifukwa cha machimo ake?
40Tiyeni tisanthule ndi kuyesa njira zathu,
ndipo tiyeni tibwerere kwa Yehova.
41Tiyeni tikweze mitima yathu ndi manja athu
kwa Mulungu kumwamba ndipo tinene kuti:
42“Ife tachimwa ndi kuwukira
ndipo inu simunakhululuke.
43“Mwadzikuta ndi mkwiyo ndi kutilondola ndipo
mwatitha mopanda chifundo.
44Mwadzikuta mu mtambo
kotero mapemphero athu sakukufikani.
45Mwatisandutsa zinyatsi ndi zinyalala
pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
46“Adani anthu atitsekulira pakamwa.
47Ife tadzazidwa ndi mantha pakuti tagwa mʼdzenje,
tapasuka ndi kuwonongedwa.”
48Misozi mʼmaso mwanga ikungoti mbwembwembwe
chifukwa anthu anga akuwonongedwa.
49Misozi idzatsika kosalekeza,
ndipo sidzasiya,
50mpaka Yehova ayangʼane pansi

51Mtima wanga ukupweteka poona zimenezi

52Akundisaka ngati mbalame,

53Ayesa kundipha pondiponya mʼdzenje

54madzi anamiza mutu wanga
ndipo ndinkaganiza kuti imfa yayandikira.
55Ndinayitana dzina lanu Inu Yehova,
kuchokera mʼdzenje lozama.
56Inu munamva kudandaula kwanga. “Mundimvere
kulira kwanga kopempha thandizo.”
57Munafika pafupi pamene ndinakuyitanani,
ndipo munati, “Usaope.”
58Inu Ambuye munandiwombola ku mlandu wanga;
munapulumutsa moyo wanga.
59Yehova, mwaona zoyipa zimene andichitira.
Mundiweruzire ndinu!
60Mwaona kuzama kwa kubwezera kwawo,

61Inu Yehova mwamva kunyoza kwawo,

63Tawaonani! Kaya ali pansi kapena kuyimirira,
