12 Kenako Yobu anayankha kuti:
3 Koma inenso ndine wozindikira* ngati inuyo.
Si ine munthu wamba poyerekezera ndi inu.
Ndi ndani amene sakudziwa zimenezi?
4 Ine ndakhala chinthu choseketsa kwa anzanga,+
Ndakhala munthu amene akuitana Mulungu kuti amuyankhe.+
Munthu wolungama komanso wosalakwa wakhala choseketsa.
5 Amene zinthu zikuwayendera bwino amanyoza amene akumana ndi tsoka,
Iwo amaganiza kuti limagwera anthu okhawo amene akukumana kale ndi mavuto.*
6 Anthu akuba amakhala mwamtendere mʼmatenti awo,+
Amene amakwiyitsa Mulungu amakhala otetezeka,+
Anthu amene mulungu wawo ali mʼmanja mwawo.
7 Koma funsa nyama ndipo zidzakuphunzitsa.
Komanso mbalame zamumlengalenga, ndipo zidzakuuza.
8 Kapena chita chidwi* ndi dziko lapansi ndipo lidzakuphunzitsa,
Komanso nsomba zamʼnyanja ndipo zidzakuuza.
9 Kodi ndi ndani pa zonsezi amene sakudziwa
Kuti dzanja la Yehova ndi limene lachita zimenezi?
12 Kodi si paja okalamba amakhala ndi nzeru,+

13 Mulungu ali ndi nzeru komanso mphamvu.+
Iye amamvetsa zinthu ndipo adzakwaniritsa cholinga chake.+
16 Iye ali ndi mphamvu komanso nzeru zopindulitsa.+
Ali ndi mphamvu pa munthu amene akusochera ndi amene akusocheretsa ena.
17 Iye amachititsa kuti alangizi ayende opanda nsapato,*
Ndipo amapusitsa oweruza.+
19 Amachititsa kuti ansembe ayende opanda nsapato,+
Ndipo amachotsa paudindo olamulira amphamvu.+
20 Alangizi okhulupirika amawasowetsa chonena,
Ndipo amachotsa kuzindikira kwa amuna achikulire,*
21 Iye amachititsa manyazi anthu olemekezeka,+
Ndipo amachititsa anthu amphamvu kuti akhale ofooka.*
22 Amaulula zinthu zozama zimene zili mumdima,+
Ndipo amabweretsa kuwala mumdima wandiweyani.
23 Amachititsa mitundu kuti ikhale yamphamvu nʼcholinga choti aiwononge.
Amakulitsa mitundu kuti aipititse ku ukapolo.
