Alemekeza chipulumutso cha Mulungu, alalikira poyera chilungamo cha Mulungu
Kwa Mkulu wa Nyimbo. Salimo la Davide.
1 Kuyembekeza ndayembekeza Yehova;
ndipo anandilola, namva kufuula kwanga.
2 Ndipo anandikweza kunditulutsa m’dzenje la chitayiko,
ndi m’thope la pachithaphwi;
nandipondetsa pathanthwe, nakhazika mayendedwe anga.
3 Ndipo anapatsa nyimbo yatsopano m’kamwa mwanga,
chilemekezo cha kwa Mulungu wanga;
ambiri adzachiona, nadzaopa,
ndipo adzakhulupirira Yehova.
4 Wodala munthuyo wakuyesa Yehova wokhulupirika;
wosasamala odzikuza, ndi opatukira kubodza.
5 Inu, Yehova, Mulungu wanga,
zodabwitsa zanu mudazichita nzambiri,
ndipo zolingirira zanu za pa ife;
palibe wina wozifotokozera Inu;
ndikazisimba ndi kuzitchula,
zindichulukira kuziwerenga.
6 Nsembe ndi chopereka simukondwera nazo;
mwanditsegula makutu.
Nsembe yopsereza ndi yamachimo simunapemphe.
7 Pamenepo ndinati, Taonani, ndadza;
m’buku mwalembedwa za Ine,
8 kuchita chikondwero chanu kundikonda, Mulungu wanga;
ndipo malamulo anu ali m’kati mwamtima mwanga.
9 Ndalalikira chilungamo mu msonkhano waukulu;
onani, sindidzaletsa milomo yanga,
mudziwa ndinu Yehova.
10 Chilungamo chanu sindinachibise m’kati mwamtima mwanga;
chikhulupiriko chanu ndi chipulumutso chanu ndinachinena;
chifundo chanu ndi choonadi chanu
sindinachibisire msonkhano waukulu.
11 Inu Yehova, simudzandikaniza nsoni zanu,
chifundo chanu ndi choonadi chanu zindisunge chisungire.
Pemphero lopempha chithandizo
12 Pakuti zoipa zosawerengeka zandizinga,
zochimwa zanga zandipeza kotero kuti sindikhoza kupenya;
ziposa tsitsi la mutu wanga, ndipo wandichokera mtima.
13 Ndikupemphani, Yehova, ndilanditseni;
fulumirani kudzandithandiza, Yehova.
14 Achite manyazi nadodome
iwo akulondola moyo wanga kuti auononge.
Abwerere m’mbuyo, nachite manyazi
iwo okondwera kundichitira choipa.
15 Apululuke, mobwezera manyazi ao
amene anena nane, Hede, hede.
16 Asekerere nakondwerere mwa Inu onse akufuna Inu;
iwo akukonda chipulumutso chanu
asaleke kunena, Abuke Yehova.
17 Ndipo ine ndine wozunzika ndi waumphawi;
koma Ambuye andikumbukira ine.
Inu ndinu mthandizi wanga, ndi Mpulumutsi wanga,
musamachedwa, Mulungu wanga.
