Psalms 109 – NIV & CCL

New International Version

Psalms 109:1-31

Psalm 109

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1My God, whom I praise,

do not remain silent,

2for people who are wicked and deceitful

have opened their mouths against me;

they have spoken against me with lying tongues.

3With words of hatred they surround me;

they attack me without cause.

4In return for my friendship they accuse me,

but I am a man of prayer.

5They repay me evil for good,

and hatred for my friendship.

6Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;

let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7When he is tried, let him be found guilty,

and may his prayers condemn him.

8May his days be few;

may another take his place of leadership.

9May his children be fatherless

and his wife a widow.

10May his children be wandering beggars;

may they be driven109:10 Septuagint; Hebrew sought from their ruined homes.

11May a creditor seize all he has;

may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

12May no one extend kindness to him

or take pity on his fatherless children.

13May his descendants be cut off,

their names blotted out from the next generation.

14May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord;

may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

15May their sins always remain before the Lord,

that he may blot out their name from the earth.

16For he never thought of doing a kindness,

but hounded to death the poor

and the needy and the brokenhearted.

17He loved to pronounce a curse—

may it come back on him.

He found no pleasure in blessing—

may it be far from him.

18He wore cursing as his garment;

it entered into his body like water,

into his bones like oil.

19May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,

like a belt tied forever around him.

20May this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,

to those who speak evil of me.

21But you, Sovereign Lord,

help me for your name’s sake;

out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.

22For I am poor and needy,

and my heart is wounded within me.

23I fade away like an evening shadow;

I am shaken off like a locust.

24My knees give way from fasting;

my body is thin and gaunt.

25I am an object of scorn to my accusers;

when they see me, they shake their heads.

26Help me, Lord my God;

save me according to your unfailing love.

27Let them know that it is your hand,

that you, Lord, have done it.

28While they curse, may you bless;

may those who attack me be put to shame,

but may your servant rejoice.

29May my accusers be clothed with disgrace

and wrapped in shame as in a cloak.

30With my mouth I will greatly extol the Lord;

in the great throng of worshipers I will praise him.

31For he stands at the right hand of the needy,

to save their lives from those who would condemn them.

Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero

Masalimo 109:1-31

Salimo 109

Kwa mtsogoleri wamayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide.

1Mulungu amene ndimakutamandani,

2pakuti anthu oyipa ndi achinyengo

atsekula pakamwa pawo kutsutsana nane;

iwo ayankhula motsutsana nane ndi malilime abodza.

3Andizungulira ndi mawu audani,

4Mʼmalo mwa chikondi changa amandineneza,

koma ine ndine munthu wapemphero.

5Iwo amandibwezera zoyipa mʼmalo mwa zabwino,

ndi udani mʼmalo mwa chikondi changa.

6Sankhani munthu woyipa kuti amutsutse iye;

lolani wotsutsa ayime ku dzanja lake lamanja.

7Pamene aweruzidwa, apezeke kuti ndi wolakwa,

ndipo mapemphero ake amutsutse.

8Masiku ake akhale owerengeka;

munthu wina atenge malo ake a utsogoleri.

9Ana ake akhale amasiye

ndipo mkazi wake akhale wopanda mwamuna.

10Ana ake akhale oyendayenda ndi opemphapempha;

apirikitsidwe kuchoka pa mabwinja a nyumba zawo.

11Wokongoza alande zonse zimene ali nazo;

alendo afunkhe ntchito za manja ake.

12Pasapezeke ndi mmodzi yemwe womukomera mtima

kapena kumvera chisoni ana ake amasiye.

13Zidzukulu zake zithe nʼkufa,

mayina awo afafanizidwe mu mʼbado wotsatirawo.

14Mphulupulu za makolo ake zikumbukiridwe pamaso pa Yehova;

tchimo la amayi ake lisadzafafanizidwe.

15Machimo awo akhale pamaso pa Yehova nthawi zonse,

kuti Iye achotse chikumbutso chawo pa dziko lapansi.

16Pakuti iye sanaganizirepo zochita chifundo,

koma anazunza mpaka kuwapha anthu osauka

ndi osweka mtima.

17Anakonda kutemberera,

matembererowo abwerere kwa iye;

sanakondwe nʼkudalitsa anthu ena,

choncho madalitso akhale kutali naye.

18Anavala kutemberera ngati chovala;

kutemberera kunalowa mʼthupi lake ngati madzi,

kulowa mʼmafupa ake ngati mafuta.

19Matemberero akhale ngati chofunda chodzikutira nacho,

ngati lamba wovala tsiku ndi tsiku.

20Awa akhale malipiro ochokera kwa Yehova pa onditsutsa anga,

kwa iwo amene amayankhula zoyipa za ine.

21Koma Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse,

muchite nane molingana ndi dzina lanu,

chifukwa cha ubwino wa chikondi chanu, pulumutseni.

22Pakuti ndine wosauka ndi wosowa,

ndipo mtima wanga ukuwawa mʼkati mwanga.

23Ndikuzimirira ngati mthunzi wa kumadzulo,

ndapirikitsidwa ngati dzombe.

24Mawondo anga afowoka chifukwa cha kusala zakudya,

thupi langa lawonda ndi mutu wanga womwe.

25Ndine chinthu chotonzedwa kwa otsutsana nane;

akandiona, amapukusa mitu yawo.

26Thandizeni Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga;

pulumutseni molingana ndi chikondi chanu.

27Adaniwo adziwe kuti limeneli ndi dzanja lanu,

kuti Inu Yehova mwachita zimenezi.

28Angathe kutemberera, koma Inu mudzadalitsa;

pamene iwo andiputa adzachititsidwa manyazi,

koma mtumiki wanu adzasangalala.

29Onditsutsa adzavekedwa mnyozo,

ndipo adzadzifunditsa manyazi ngati chovala.

30Ndi pakamwa panga ndidzathokoza Yehova kwambiri;

ndidzamutamanda mʼgulu lalikulu la anthu.

31Popeza Iye amayima ku dzanja lamanja la munthu wosowayo,

kupulumutsa moyo wake kwa iwo amene agamula molakwa.
