 3 Mulungu wanga ndi thanthwe langa,+ ine ndimathawira kwa iye,

Iye ndi chishango changa,+ nyanga* yanga ya chipulumutso* ndi malo anga achitetezo.*+

Komanso ndi malo anga othawirako,+ mpulumutsi wanga+ amene amandipulumutsa kwa anthu achiwawa.

 4 Ndimapempha Yehova, amene ndi woyenera kutamandidwa, kuti andithandize.

Ndipo adzandipulumutsa kwa adani anga.

 5 Mafunde a imfa anandizungulira;+

Gulu la anthu opanda pake linkandiopseza.+

 6 Zingwe za Manda* zinandizungulira;+

Ndinatcheredwa misampha ya imfa.+

 7 Pa nthawi ya mavuto, ndinaitana Yehova,+

Ndinapitiriza kuitana Mulungu wanga.

Iye anamva mawu anga ali mʼkachisi wake,

Makutu ake anamva kulira kwanga kopempha thandizo.+

 8 Dziko lapansi linayamba kugwedezeka ndiponso kunjenjemera;+

Maziko akumwamba anagwedezeka.+

Anagwedezeka chifukwa Mulungu anakwiya.+

 9 Utsi unatuluka mʼmphuno mwake,

Ndipo moto wowononga unatuluka mʼkamwa mwake;+

Makala oyaka anatuluka mwa iye.

10 Iye anaweramitsa kumwamba pamene ankatsika,+

Mdima wandiweyani unali pansi pa mapazi ake.+

12 Kenako anaika mdima momuzungulira ngati tenti,+

Mʼmadzi akuda ndi mʼmitambo yakuda.

14 Kenako Yehova ali kumwamba anayamba kugunda ngati mabingu;+

Wamʼmwambamwamba anachititsa kuti mawu ake amveke.+

15 Anaponya mivi yake+ ndipo anawabalalitsa;

Anaponya mphezi ndipo anawasokoneza.+

16 Pansi pa nyanja panaonekera;+

Maziko a dziko lapansi anaonekera chifukwa cha kudzudzula kwa Yehova,

Chifukwa cha mphamvu ya mpweya wotuluka mʼmphuno mwake.+

17 Anatambasula dzanja lake kuchokera kumwamba;

Anandigwira nʼkundivuula mʼmadzi akuya.+

18 Anandipulumutsa kwa mdani wanga wamphamvu,+

Kwa anthu odana nane amene anali amphamvu kuposa ine.

19 Adaniwo anandiukira pa tsiku la tsoka,+

Koma Yehova anandithandiza.

20 Ananditenga nʼkundiika pamalo otetezeka;*+

Anandipulumutsa chifukwa ankasangalala nane.+

21 Yehova amandidalitsa mogwirizana ndi chilungamo changa;+

Amandipatsa mphoto mogwirizana ndi manja anga osalakwa.*+

22 Chifukwa ndasunga njira za Yehova,

Ndipo sindinachite chinthu choipa kwambiri, chomwe ndi kusiya Mulungu wanga.

23 Ndimakumbukira ziweruzo zake zonse;+

Ndipo sindidzasiya kutsatira malamulo ake.+

24 Ndidzakhalabe wosalakwa+ pamaso pake,

Ndipo ndidzayesetsa kupewa cholakwa.+

25 Yehova andipatse mphoto mogwirizana ndi chilungamo changa,+

Komanso chifukwa choti ndine wosalakwa pamaso pake.+

26 Munthu wokhulupirika, mumamuchitira mokhulupirika.+

Munthu wamphamvu komanso wosalakwa, mumamuchitira mwachilungamo.+

27 Munthu woyera, mumamusonyeza kuti ndinu woyera,+

Koma munthu wamaganizo opotoka mumamusonyeza kuti ndinu wochenjera.+

28 Mumapulumutsa anthu odzichepetsa,+

Koma mumanyansidwa ndi anthu odzikweza ndipo mumawatsitsa.+

29 Inu Yehova ndinu nyale yanga;+

Yehova ndi amene amandiunikira mumdima.+

30 Ndi thandizo lanu ndingalimbane ndi gulu la achifwamba;

Ndi mphamvu za Mulungu ndingakwere khoma.+

31 Njira ya Mulungu woona ndi yangwiro.+

Mawu a Yehova ndi oyengeka bwino.+

33 Mulungu woona ndi malo anga otetezeka kwambiri,+

Ndipo iye adzasalaza njira yanga.+

34 Amachititsa kuti mapazi anga akhale ngati a mbawala;

Amachititsa kuti ndiime pamalo okwera.+

35 Iye amaphunzitsa manja anga kumenya nkhondo;

Manja anga angathe kukunga uta wakopa.*

36 Mumandipatsa chishango chanu chachipulumutso,

Ndipo kudzichepetsa kwanu kumandikweza.+

37 Mumakulitsa njira kuti mapazi anga azidutsamo,

Ndipo mapazi anga sadzaterereka.+

38 Ndidzathamangitsa adani anga nʼkuwapha onse;

Ndipo sindidzabwerera mpaka nditawafafaniza.

39 Ndidzawafafaniza ndi kuwaphwanya kuti asadzukenso.+

Iwo adzagwera pansi pa mapazi anga.

40 Mudzandipatsa mphamvu kuti ndithe kumenya nkhondo;+

Mudzachititsa kuti adani anga agonje.+

41 Mudzachititsa kuti adani anga athawe pamaso panga;+

Ndidzapha* anthu amene amadana nane.+

42 Amafuula kuti athandizidwe, koma palibe angawapulumutse;

Amafika pofuulira Yehova, koma iye samawayankha.+

43 Ndidzawapera ndipo adzakhala ngati fumbi.

Ndidzawapondaponda ngati matope amumsewu.

Mudzanditeteza kuti ndikhale mtsogoleri wa mitundu ya anthu.+

Anthu amene sindikuwadziwa adzanditumikira.+

45 Anthu ochokera mʼdziko lina adzandiweramira mwamantha;+

Zimene adzamve zokhudza ine zidzachititsa kuti azindimvera.

46 Anthu ochokera mʼdziko lina adzachita mantha;

Iwo adzatuluka mʼmalo awo otetezeka akunjenjemera.

48 Mulungu woona amabwezera adani anga;+

Iye amachititsa kuti mitundu ya anthu izindigonjera;+

49 Iye amandipulumutsa kwa adani anga.

Mumandikweza pamwamba+ pa anthu ondiukira;

Mumandipulumutsa kwa munthu wachiwawa.+

50 Nʼchifukwa chake ndidzakuyamikani inu Yehova pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.+

Ndipo ndidzaimba nyimbo zotamanda dzina lanu.+

51 Iye amachita zazikulu kuti apulumutse mfumu yake;+

Amasonyeza chikondi chokhulupirika kwa wodzozedwa wake,

Kwa Davide ndi mbadwa* zake mpaka kalekale.”+
