17 Mwe Yehova, umfweni ukupaapaata kwandi ukwa kuti bemfyenga;

Umfweni ifyo ndepaapaata ukuti mungafwe;

Umfweni ipepo lyandi ilyo ndepepa mu bufumacumi.+

 2 Mpingwileniko pa kuti bemfyenga;+

Amenso yenu nayamone icalungama.

 3 Mwaliceeceeta umutima wandi, mwalinceeceeta ubushiku;+

Mwalindopolola;+

Na lintu pakapita inshita mukasanga ukuti nshipanga ukucita ifyabipa,

Kabili akanwa kandi takabembuka.

 4 Na kabili nshikonka inshila sha fipondo+ nge fyo abantu bambi bacita,

Pantu ndakonka ifyo imilomo yenu ilanda.

 5 Lekeni intampulo shandi shitwalilile ukuba mu nshila shenu

Pa kuti amakasa yandi yekaipununa.+

 7 Citeni ifisuma pa kuti mulange ukutemwa kwenu ukushipwa,+

Mwe bapususha abooba mu kuboko kwenu ukwa ku kulyo

Ku bamupondokela.

 8 Ncingilileni nge mboni ya linso lyenu;+

Mfiseni mu cintelelwe ca mapindo yenu.+

 9 Ncingilileni ku babifi abansaansa,

Ku balwani bandi* abanshinguluka.+

10 Balikunkuma;*

Balanda cilumba cilumba;

11 Nomba nabanshinguluka pamo na bo ndi nabo;+

Balefwaya inshila ya kutuwishishamo.*

12 Umubifi aba nge nkalamo iilefwaisha ukusantaula inama ilefwaya ukwikata,

Aba nge nkalamo iyana iya masense iili umwafisama ilebendelela inama.

13 Imeni mwe Yehova; mumukumanye+ kabili mumucimfye;

Bomfyeni ulupanga lwenu pa kumpokolola* ku mubifi;

14 Mpusushisheni ku kuboko kwenu, mwe Yehova,

Mpususheni ku bantu ba muli cino calo,* ababika fye amano ku mikalile ino,+

Abekuta ifisuma ifyo mubapeela+

Kabili abashiila abana babo abengi ubupyani.

15 Lelo ine apo ndacita icalungama nkamona icinso cenu;

Nga nabuuka ndatemwa pantu mulaba mupepi na ine.*+
