Salimo
Nyimbo ya Davide ya chikumbutso.
3 Thupi langa lonse likudwala* chifukwa cha mkwiyo wanu.
Mʼmafupa anga mulibe mtendere chifukwa cha tchimo langa.+
4 Chifukwa zolakwa zanga zakwera kupitirira mutu wanga.+
Sindingathe kuzisenza chifukwa zikulemera kwambiri ngati katundu wolemera.
5 Zilonda zanga zanyeka komanso zikununkha
Chifukwa cha kupusa kwanga.
6 Ndili ndi nkhawa komanso chisoni chachikulu.
Ndikuyendayenda ndili wachisoni tsiku lonse.
8 Thupi langa lonse lachita dzanzi ndipo ndilibiretu mphamvu.
Ndikubuula mokweza* chifukwa cha kuvutika kwa mtima wanga.
9 Inu Yehova, mukudziwa zinthu zonse zimene ndikulakalaka,
Nthawi zonse mumamva ndikamadandaula.
11 Anzanga komanso anthu amene ndimawakonda akundisala chifukwa cha mliri wanga,
Ndipo anthu oyandikana nawo sakufuna kukhala nane pafupi.
12 Anthu amene akufunafuna moyo wanga anditchera misampha,
Amene akufuna kundivulaza akukambirana zoti andiwononge,+
Tsiku lonse iwo amapanga pulani yoti andinamize.
13 Koma ine ndakhala ngati munthu wogontha ndipo sindikumvetsera,+
Ndakhala ngati munthu wosalankhula ndipo sindikutsegula pakamwa.+
14 Ndakhala ngati munthu wosamva,
Amene sangalankhule chilichonse podziteteza.
16 Ine ndinati: “Musalole kuti adani anga asangalale chifukwa cha mavuto anga
Kapena kuti adzikweze ngati phazi langa litaterereka.”
19 Koma adani anga ndi amphamvu kwambiri,
Ndipo odana nane popanda chifukwa anachuluka.
20 Iwo anandibwezera choipa mʼmalo mwa chabwino,
Ndikafuna kuchita zabwino iwo ankandiletsa.
21 Inu Yehova, musandisiye.
Inu Mulungu, musakhale kutali ndi ine.+
