27Nsembe ya anthu oyipa imamunyansa Yehova,
nanji akayipereka ndi cholinga choyipa!
28Mboni yonama idzawonongeka,
koma mawu a munthu wakumva adzakhala nthawi zonse.
29Munthu woyipa amafuna kudzionetsa ngati wolimba mtima,
koma munthu wowongoka amaganizira njira zake.
30Palibe nzeru, palibe kumvetsa bwino, palibenso uphungu,
