18 Ndimakukondani inu Yehova, mphamvu yanga.+
2 Yehova ndi thanthwe langa, malo anga achitetezo ndiponso amene amandipulumutsa.+
Mulungu wanga ndi thanthwe langa+ limene ndimathawirako,
Iye ndi chishango changa, nyanga* yanga ya chipulumutso* komanso malo anga othawirako otetezeka.*+
4 Zingwe za imfa zinandikulunga,+
Gulu la anthu opanda pake, amene anali ngati madzi osefukira, ankandiopseza.+
6 Pa nthawi ya mavuto anga ndinaitana Yehova,
Ndinapitiriza kufuulira Mulungu wanga kuti andithandize.
7 Kenako dziko lapansi linayamba kugwedezeka ndi kunjenjemera.+
Maziko a mapiri ananjenjemera,
Komanso anagwedezeka chifukwa Mulungu anakwiya.+
8 Utsi unatuluka mʼmphuno mwake,
Ndipo moto wowononga unatuluka mʼkamwa mwake.+
Makala oyaka anatuluka mwa iye.
10 Iye anakwera pakerubi ndipo anabwera akuuluka.+
Mulungu anauluka mwaliwiro pamapiko a mngelo.*+
11 Kenako anadziphimba ndi mdima,+
Panali madzi akuda ndi mtambo wakuda+
Zimene zinamuzungulira ngati tenti yake.
12 Kuwala kunangʼanima pamaso pake,
Ndipo matalala ndi makala a moto anatuluka mʼmitambo.
13 Kenako Yehova anayamba kugunda ngati mabingu ali kumwamba.+
Wamʼmwambamwamba anachititsa kuti mawu ake amveke,+
Ndipo kunagwa matalala ndi makala a moto.
15 Pansi pa mitsinje* panayamba kuonekera.+
Maziko a dziko lapansi anayamba kuonekera chifukwa cha kudzudzula kwanu, inu Yehova,
Komanso chifukwa cha mphamvu ya mpweya wotuluka mʼmphuno mwanu.+
17 Anandipulumutsa kwa mdani wanga wamphamvu,+
Kwa anthu odana nane amene anali amphamvu kuposa ine.+
21 Ndasunga njira za Yehova,
Ndipo sindinachite chinthu choipa kwambiri, chomwe ndi kusiya Mulungu wanga.
22 Ndimakumbukira ziweruzo zake zonse,
Ndipo sindidzanyalanyaza malamulo ake.
24 Yehova andipatse mphoto chifukwa choti ndine wolungama,+
Komanso chifukwa choti ndine wosalakwa pamaso pake.+
25 Munthu wokhulupirika, mumamuchitira zinthu mokhulupirika.+
Munthu wopanda cholakwa, mumamuchitira zinthu mwachilungamo.+
26 Kwa munthu woyera, mumasonyeza kuti ndinu woyera,+
Koma kwa munthu wopotoka maganizo mumasonyeza kuti ndinu wochenjera.+
29 Ndi thandizo lanu, ndingalimbane ndi gulu la achifwamba.+
Ndi mphamvu za Mulungu ndingakwere khoma.+
Iye ndi chishango kwa anthu onse amene amathawira kwa iye.+
31 Kodi pali Mulungu winanso woposa Yehova?+
Nanga pali thanthwe linanso kupatula Mulungu wathu?+
35 Inu mumandipatsa chishango chanu chachipulumutso,+
Dzanja lanu lamanja limandithandiza,*
Ndipo kudzichepetsa kwanu nʼkumene kumandikweza.+
37 Ndidzathamangitsa adani anga nʼkuwapeza,
Sindidzabwerera mpaka onse nditawawononga.
41 Iwo amafuula kuti athandizidwe, koma palibe amene angawapulumutse,
Amafika pofuulira Yehova, koma iye samawayankha.
42 Ndidzawapera ndipo adzakhala ngati fumbi louluzika ndi mphepo.
Ndidzawakhuthula ngati matope mumsewu.
43 Inu mudzandipulumutsa kwa anthu a mtundu wanga ondipezera zifukwa.+
Mudzandiika kuti ndikhale mtsogoleri wa mitundu ya anthu.+
Anthu amene sindikuwadziwa adzanditumikira.+
44 Anthu akadzangomva mphekesera zokhudza ine, adzandimvera.
Anthu ochokera mʼdziko lina adzandigwadira mwamantha.+
46 Yehova ndi wamoyo. Litamandike Thanthwe langa.+
Mulungu amene amandipulumutsa alemekezeke.+
48 Iye amandipulumutsa kwa adani anga olusa.
Mumandikweza pamwamba pa anthu amene amandiukira.+
Mumandipulumutsa kwa munthu wachiwawa.
