Salimo
Kwa wotsogolera nyimbo. Salimo la Davide.
40 Ndinayembekezera Yehova ndi mtima wonse,*
Ndipo iye anatchera khutu* kwa ine nʼkumva kulira kwanga kopempha thandizo.+
2 Iye ananditulutsa mʼdzenje la madzi a mkokomo,
Ananditulutsa mʼchithaphwi cha matope.
Ndipo anapondetsa phazi langa pathanthwe,
Anachititsa kuti ndiyende panthaka yolimba.
Ambiri adzaona zimenezi ndipo adzachita mantha,
Nʼkuyamba kukhulupirira Yehova.
4 Wosangalala ndi munthu amene amakhulupirira Yehova
Komanso amene sadalira anthu otsutsa kapena anthu amene amakhulupirira mabodza.*
Palibe angafanane ndi inu.
Nditati ndilankhule kapena kunena za zodabwitsazo,
Zingakhale zochuluka kwambiri moti sindingathe kuzifotokoza.+
Simunapemphe nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zamachimo.+
7 Ndiyeno ine ndinati: “Taonani, ine ndabwera.
Mumpukutu* munalembedwa za ine.+
8 Ndimasangalala* kuchita zimene mumafuna, inu Mulungu wanga,+
Ndipo chilamulo chanu chili mumtima mwanga.+
9 Ndimalengeza uthenga wabwino wa chilungamo mumpingo waukulu.+
Onani! Sinditseka pakamwa panga,+
Monga mmene mukudziwira, Inu Yehova.
10 Sindibisa chilungamo chanu mumtima mwanga.
Ndimalengeza kuti ndinu wokhulupirika komanso kuti mumapulumutsa atumiki anu.
Sindibisa chikondi chanu chokhulupirika komanso choonadi chanu mumpingo waukulu.”+
11 Inu Yehova, musasiye kundisonyeza chifundo.
Chikondi chanu chokhulupirika komanso choonadi chanu zizinditeteza nthawi zonse.+
12 Masoka amene andizungulira ndi ambiri moti sindingathe kuwawerenga.+
Zolakwa zanga ndi zochuluka moti sindikutha kuona kumene ndikulowera.+
Zachuluka kwambiri kuposa tsitsi lakumutu kwanga,
Ndipo ndataya mtima.
13 Mukhale wofunitsitsa kundipulumutsa, inu Yehova.+
Ndithandizeni mofulumira, inu Yehova.+
14 Onse amene akufuna kuchotsa moyo wanga
Achititsidwe manyazi komanso anyozeke.
Amene akusangalala ndi tsoka langa
Abwerere mwamanyazi.
15 Onse amene akunena kuti: “Eyaa! Eyaa!”
Achite mantha kwambiri chifukwa cha zinthu zochititsa manyazi zimene ziwachitikire.
Amene amasangalala ndi njira imene mumapulumutsira anthu, nthawi zonse azinena kuti:
“Yehova alemekezeke.”+
17 Koma ine ndine munthu wovutika komanso wosauka.
Yehova aone zimene zikundichitikira.
