37 “Chifukwa cha zimenezi, mtima wanga ukugunda kwambiri,
Ukungokhala ngati uchoka mʼmalo mwake.
2 Mvetserani mwatcheru mawu amphamvu a Mulungu,
Komanso mabingu ochokera mʼkamwa mwake.
4 Pambuyo pake pamamveka phokoso.
Iye amabangula ndi mawu amphamvu,+
Ndipo mphezi zimakhala zikuwala iye akamalankhula.
5 Mulungu amabangula ndi mawu ake+ mochititsa chidwi kwambiri.
Amachita zinthu zazikulu zimene sitingathe kuzimvetsa.+
6 Chifukwa amauza matalala kuti, ‘Gwerani padziko lapansi,’+
Ndipo mvula amaiuza kuti, ‘Igwa mwamphamvu kwambiri.’+
8 Nyama zakutchire zimapita mʼnyumba zawo,
Ndipo zimakhalabe mʼmalo amene zimakhala.
10 Pogwiritsa ntchito mpweya wake Mulungu amapangitsa kuti madzi aundane,+
Komanso kuti madzi aundane chifukwa cha kuzizira.+
11 Iye amachititsa kuti mitambo ilemedwe ndi chinyontho.
Amamwaza mphezi+ zake mʼmitambo.
12 Mitamboyo imayenda mozungulira ndipo iye amailamula kuti ipite kumene akufuna.
Imachita chilichonse chimene iye walamula+ panthaka yapadziko lapansi.*
13 Amagwiritsa ntchito mitamboyo kuti apereke chilango,*+ kuti anyowetse dziko,
Komanso kuti asonyeze chikondi chokhulupirika.+
15 Kodi mukudziwa zimene Mulungu amachita kuti alamulire mitambo
Komanso zimene amachita kuti mphezi ziziwala mʼmitambo yake?
16 Kodi mukudziwa chimene chimachititsa kuti mitambo izikhala mʼmalere?+
Zimenezi ndi ntchito zodabwitsa za Mulungu amene amadziwa chilichonse.+
17 Nʼchifukwa chiyani zovala zanu zimatentha,
Pamene mphepo yakumʼmwera yachititsa dziko lapansi kuti likhale bata?+
18 Kodi inuyo limodzi ndi iyeyo mungatambasule kuthambo,+
Nʼkukumenyamenya kuti kukhale kolimba ngati chitsulo chonyezimira?*
19 Tiuzeni zoti timuuze.
Sitingathe kuyankha chifukwa tili mumdima.
20 Kodi auzidwe kuti ndikufuna kulankhula?
Kapena kodi munthu wina wanena zinazake zimene akufunika kuti auzidwe?+
21 Iwo sangathe nʼkomwe kuona kuwala,*
Ngakhale kuti kuthambo nʼkowala,
Mpaka mphepo itadutsa nʼkuchotsa mitambo.
22 Ulemerero wonyezimira ngati golide umachokera kumpoto.
Ulemerero wa Mulungu+ ndi wochititsa mantha.
23 Wamphamvuyonse sitingathe kumumvetsa.+
Iye ali ndi mphamvu zazikulu,+
Ndipo sachita zinthu zosemphana ndi chilungamo+ chake komanso kulungama kwake kodabwitsa.+
Chifukwa sakondera aliyense amene amadziona kuti ndi wanzeru.”*+
