27 Kwa munthu wokhalabe woyera, mudzadzisonyeza kuti ndinu woyera,+

Kwa munthu wopotoka maganizo mudzachita zinthu ngati wopusa.+

28 Anthu odzichepetsa mudzawapulumutsa.+

43 Ndidzawapera kukhala ngati fumbi la padziko lapansi.

Ndidzawapondaponda ngati matope a mumsewu,+

Ndipo ndidzawasasantha.

44 Inu mudzandipulumutsa kwa anthu a mtundu wanga onditola zifukwa.+

Mudzanditeteza kuti ndikhale mtsogoleri wa mitundu yonse.+

45 Alendo adzabwera kwa ine akunthunthumira.+

Anthu adzamvetsera mawu anga ndi kuwatsatira.+

46 Alendo adzatha mphamvu,

Ndipo adzatuluka m’malo awo achitetezo akunjenjemera.+

47 Yehova ndi wamoyo.+ Lidalitsike Thanthwe langa.+

Kwa Davide ndi mbewu yake mpaka kalekale.”+
