Kuna nyakutsogolera nyimbo; aphatisira Neiloti* toera kuiimba. Nyimbo ya Dhavidhi.
5 Imwe Yahova, bveserani mafala anga;+
Bvesesani kutsukwala kwanga.
2 Bveserani nʼkhuwo wanga wakuphemba ciphedzo,
Imwe Mambo wanga na Mulungu wanga, thangwi ndisacita phembero kuna imwe.
3 Yahova, namacibese munadzabva fala yanga;+
Namacibese ndinadzakupangani pinandidzudzumisa+ mbandidikhira ciphedzo canu.
4 Thangwi imwe ndimwe Mulungu wakuti nkhabe komerwa na pyakuipa;+
Imwe nkhabe kukhala na munthu anacita pyakuipa.+
5 Anthu onsene akudzikuza nkhabe kudzalimira pamaso panu.
Yahova asaida anthu auphanga na anthu ananyengeza andzawo.*+
7 Mbwenye ine ndinapita nʼnyumba mwanu+ thangwi ya ufuni wanu wakukhonda mala;+
Ine ndinadzagodama mbindiyangʼana ku templo yanu yakucena toera kupangiza kuti ndisakulemedzani kakamwe.+
8 Yahova, nditsogolereni mu ulungami wanu, thangwi anyamalwa anga andizungulira;
Ndiphedzeni toera ndifambe mwadidi munjira zanu.+
9 Pyonsene pinalonga iwo nkhabe nyindirika;
Mʼmitima mwawo asanyerezera pyakuipa basi;
Makholongo awo ndi ninga nthumbi zakufunguka;
Iwo asasimba mwaciphamaso na lirimi yawo.+
10 Mbwenye imwe Mulungu munadzaatonga;
Iwo anadzafa thangwi ya pinthu pyakuipa pinanyerezera iwo kucita.+
Ndaphata miyendo, athamangiseni thangwi yakunjipa kwa madawo awo,
Pontho iwo akusandukirani.
11 Mbwenye onsene anathawira kuna imwe anadzakhala akutsandzaya;+
Ndzidzi onsene iwo anadzakhuwa mwakukomerwa.
Imwe munadzaatsidzikiza,
Pontho ale anafuna dzina yanu anadzatsandzaya thangwi ya imwe.
12 Imwe Yahova munadzapasa nkhombo anthu akulungama;
Kukomerwa nawo kwanu kunadzakhala ninga xango ikulu yacitsidzikizo kuna iwo.+
