13 “Inde, maso anga aona zonsezi,
Khutu langa lamva komanso lazimvetsa.
2 Zimene inu mukuzidziwa, inenso ndikuzidziwa.
Si ine munthu wamba poyerekezera ndi inu.

Ndikulakalaka nditalankhula ndi Mulungu zokhudza mlandu wangawu.+

12 Mawu anu anzeru* nʼchimodzimodzi ndi miyambi yosathandiza ngati phulusa.
Mawu anu odziteteza ndi osathandiza ngati zishango zadothi.
13 Khalani chete pamaso panga, kuti ineyo ndilankhule.
Kenako chilichonse chimene chingabwere kwa ine, chibwere.
15 Ngakhale Mulungu atandipha, ndipitirizabe kumukhulupirira,+
Ndisonyeza pamaso pake kuti ndine wosalakwa.*
17 Mvetserani mawu anga mosamala,

Ine ndikudziwa kuti sindinalakwe.
19 Ndi ndani amene angatsutsane nane?
Ngati nditapanda kulankhula, ndikhoza kufa.*
22 Muitane ndipo ine ndivomera,
Kapena ndilankhule ndipo inu mundiyankhe.

Ndiuzeni zimene ndinalakwa komanso tchimo langa.

Ndipo mukundilanga chifukwa cha machimo amene ndinachita ndili mnyamata.
27 Mwaika mapazi anga mʼmatangadza,

Ndipo mumatsatira paliponse pamene phazi langa laponda.
