55 Inu Mulungu, mvetserani pemphero langa,+
Ndipo musanyalanyaze pempho langa lakuti mundichitire chifundo.*+
2 Ndimvetsereni ndipo mundiyankhe.+
Mtima wanga suli mʼmalo chifukwa cha nkhawa zanga,+
Ndipo ndikuvutika mumtima mwanga
3 Chifukwa cha zimene mdani wanga akunena
Komanso chifukwa chakuti woipa akundipanikiza.
Iwo andiunjikira mavuto,
Ndipo mwaukali akundisungira chidani.+
5 Ndagwidwa ndi mantha ndipo ndikunjenjemera,
Komanso ndikunthunthumira.
6 Nthawi zonse ndimanena kuti: “Ndikanakhala ndi mapiko ngati njiwa!
Ndikanaulukira kutali nʼkukakhala malo otetezeka.
Ndikanapita kukakhala mʼchipululu.+ (Selah)
8 Ndikanathawira kumalo otetezeka,
Kutali ndi mphepo yamphamvu, kutali ndi mphepo yamkuntho.”
9 Inu Yehova, sokonezani anthu oipa, ndipo sokonezani mapulani awo,*+
Chifukwa ndaona zachiwawa ndi mikangano mumzinda.
10 Masana ndi usiku amayenda pamwamba pa mpanda kuzungulira mzindawo.
Ndipo mumzindawo muli chidani ndi mavuto.+
Amene wandiukira si munthu wodana nane kwambiri.
Akanakhala munthu wodana nane kwambiri ndikanabisala.
14 Tinali mabwenzi apamtima.
Tinkayenda limodzi ndi gulu la anthu kupita kunyumba ya Mulungu.
Atsikire ku Manda* ali amoyo.
Chifukwa mʼmalo amene amakhala komanso mʼmitima yawo muli zoipa.
18 Iye adzandipulumutsa* kwa anthu amene akundiukira nʼkundipatsa mtendere,
Chifukwa gulu la anthu landiukira.+
19 Mulungu adzamva ndipo adzawapatsa chilango,+
Amene wakhala pampando wachifumu kuyambira kalekale.+ (Selah)
Iwo adzakana kusintha,
Anthu amene sanaope Mulungu.+
Mawu ake ndi osalala kuposa mafuta,
Koma ali ngati malupanga akuthwa.+
Iye sadzalola kuti munthu wolungama agwe.*+
23 Koma inu Mulungu, mudzatsitsira oipawo mʼdzenje lakuya.+
Anthu amene ali ndi mlandu wa magazi komanso achinyengowo, sadzakwanitsa kukhala ngakhale hafu ya moyo wawo.+
Koma ine ndidzakhulupirira inu.
