1Yehova akuti,
“Kalata imene ndinasudzulira amayi
anu ili kuti?
Kapena mwa anthu amene ndili nawo ngongole,
ndinakugulitsani kwa ati?
Inu munagulitsidwa ku ukapolo chifukwa cha machimo anu;
amayi anu anachotsedwa chifukwa cha kulakwa kwanu.
2Nʼchifukwa chiyani pamene ndinabwera kudzakupulumutsani panalibe munthu?
Pamene ndinayitana, nʼchifukwa chiyani panalibe wondiyankha?
Kodi dzanja langa ndi lalifupi kuti nʼkulephera kukuwombolani?
Kodi ndilibe mphamvu zokupulumutsirani?
Ndi kudzudzula kokha ndinawumitsa nyanja yayikulu,
mitsinje ndinayisandutsa chipululu;
nsomba za mʼmenemo zinawola chifukwa chosowa madzi;
ndipo zinafa ndi ludzu.
3Ndinaphimba thambo ndi mdima
ndipo chiguduli chinakhala chofunda chake.”
4Ambuye Yehova anandiphunzitsa mawu oyenera kuyankhula
kudziwa mawu olimbitsa mtima anthu ofowoka.
Mmawa mulimonse amandidzutsa,

5Ambuye Yehova wanditsekula makutu anga,
ndipo sindinakhale munthu wowukira
ndipo sindinabwerere mʼmbuyo.
6Ndinapereka msana wanga kwa ondimenya
masaya anga ndinawapereka kwa anthu ondizula ndevu;

7Popeza Ambuye Yehova amandithandiza,

Tsono ndalimba mtima ngati msangalabwi,

8Wondikhalira kumbuyo ali pafupi,

9Ambuye Yehova ndiye amene amandithandiza.
Ndaninso amene adzanditsutsa?

11Koma tsopano inu nonse amene mumasonkha moto
