Salimo
94 Inu Yehova, Mulungu amene amabwezera anthu oipa,+
Inu Mulungu amene amabwezera anthu oipa, onetsani kuwala kwanu!
2 Nyamukani, inu Woweruza dziko lapansi.+
Perekani chilango kwa anthu onyada chifukwa cha zimene achita.+
3 Inu Yehova, kodi anthu oipa adzapitiriza kusangalala mpaka liti?
Adzapitiriza kukondwera mpaka liti?+
4 Zolankhula zawo zimasonyeza kuti ndi opusa komanso onyada.
Anthu onse ochita zoipa amalankhula modzitama.
6 Amapha mkazi wamasiye komanso mlendo,
Ndipo amaphanso ana amasiye.
8 Zindikirani izi, anthu opanda nzeru inu.
Anthu opusa inu, kodi mudzasonyeza liti kuti ndinu ozindikira?+
9 Kodi amene anapanga* makutu, sangamve?
Kodi amene anapanga maso, sangaone?+
10 Kodi amene amalangiza mitundu ya anthu, sangathe kudzudzula?+
Iye ndi amene amaphunzitsa anthu kuti akhale ozindikira.+
12 Wosangalala ndi munthu amene inu Ya, mumamulangiza,+
Amene inu mumamuphunzitsa chilamulo chanu,+
13 Kuti mumupatse mtendere pa nthawi ya masoka,
Mpaka dzenje la oipa litakumbidwa.+
15 Chifukwa oweruza adzayambiranso kupereka zigamulo zachilungamo,
Ndipo onse owongoka mtima adzazitsatira.
16 Ndi ndani amene adzanditeteze kwa oipa?
Ndi ndani amene adzakhale kumbali yanga polimbana ndi anthu ochita zoipa?
18 Pamene ndinanena kuti: “Phazi langa likuterereka,”
Chikondi chanu chokhulupirika, inu Yehova, chinapitiriza kundithandiza.+
20 Kodi inu mungagwirizane ndi olamulira achinyengo
Pamene akuyambitsa mavuto pogwiritsa ntchito malamulo?+
21 Iwo amaukira mwankhanza munthu wolungama,*+
Ndipo munthu wosalakwa amamuweruza kuti akuyenera kuphedwa.*+
22 Koma Yehova adzakhala malo anga othawirako otetezeka,*
Mulungu wanga ndi thanthwe langa lothawirako.+
23 Iye adzachititsa kuti zoipa zimene akuchita zibwerere kwa iwo.+
Iye adzawawononga* pogwiritsa ntchito zoipa zawo zomwe.
