Masalimo
Kwa wotsogolera nyimbo. Salimo la Davide.
40 Ndinayembekezera Yehova ndi mtima wonse,+
Choncho iye anatchera khutu kwa ine ndipo anamva kufuula kwanga kopempha thandizo.+
2 Iye ananditulutsanso m’dzenje la madzi a mkokomo,+
Ananditulutsa m’chithaphwi cha matope.+
Kenako anapondetsa phazi langa pathanthwe.+
Anandiyendetsa panthaka yolimba.+
3 Komanso anaika mawu a nyimbo yatsopano m’kamwa mwanga,
Nyimbo yotamanda Mulungu wathu.+
Ambiri adzaona zimenezi ndipo adzachita mantha,+
Iwo adzakhulupirira Yehova.+
4 Wodala ndi munthu wamphamvu amene amakhulupirira Yehova,+
Munthu amene sanacheukire anthu otsutsa,
Kapena anthu amene anapatukira m’njira za mabodza.+
5 Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga, mwatichitira zinthu zambiri zodabwitsa,+
Ndipo mumatiganizira.+
Palibe angafanane ndi inu.+
Ndikafuna kulankhula ndi kunena za zodabwitsazo,
Zimachuluka kwambiri moti sindingathe kuzifotokoza.+
6 Nsembe ndiponso zopereka, simunasangalale nazo.+
Inu munatsegula makutu anga.+
Simunapemphe nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe yamachimo.+
8 Ndimakondwera ndi kuchita chifuniro chanu, inu Mulungu wanga,+
Ndipo chilamulo chanu chili mumtima mwanga.+
9 Ndanena za uthenga wabwino wachilungamo mumpingo waukulu.+
Onani! Sindinatseke pakamwa panga.+
Inu Yehova, mukudziwa bwino zimenezi.+
10 Chilungamo chanu sindinachibise mumtima mwanga.+
Ndinalengeza za kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chipulumutso chanu.+
Sindinabise kukoma mtima kwanu kosatha ndi choonadi chanu mumpingo waukulu.”+
11 Inu Yehova, musasiye kundimvera chisoni.+
Kukoma mtima kwanu kosatha komanso choonadi chanu zinditeteze nthawi zonse.+
12 Pakuti masoka anandizungulira moti sindinathe kuwawerenga.+
Zolakwa zanga zochuluka zinandifikira modzidzimutsa moti sindinathe kuziona mmene zinachulukira.+
Zinachuluka kwambiri kuposa tsitsi la kumutu kwanga,+
Ndipo ndinataya mtima.+
14 Onse amene akufunafuna moyo wanga kuti aufafanize+
Achite manyazi ndi kuthedwa nzeru.+
Amene akukondwera ndi tsoka langa abwerere ndipo anyazitsidwe.+
