Lekani kupitiriza kumatama,* imwe Mulungu Wamphambvu Zonsene.

 2 Onani! Anyamalwa anu akucita uviyaviya;+

Ale anakuidani asacita pinthu mwakudzikuza.*

 3 Mwakucenjera, iwo asacita masasanyiro mwacibisobiso toera acite pinthu pyakuipa kuna mbumba yanu;

Iwo asabverana toera acite pinthu pyakuipa kuna ale anafuna imwe kakamwe.*

 4 Iwo asalonga: “Bwerani, tendeni tifudze dzindza ya Izraeli,+

Toera iyo iduwalike kwenda na kwenda.”

 5 Iwo asacita masasanyiro pabodzi pene;*

Iwo acita cibverano toera kumenyana na imwe.+

 6 Misasa ya Aedhomi na ya Aijimaeli, Amoabhe+ na Aagarite,+

 7 Ajebhali, Aamoni,+ Aamaleki,

Afilisti+ pabodzi na anthu anakhala ku Tiro.+

 8 Asirya+ acitambo cibverano na iwo;

Iwo asaphedza* ana a Loti.*+ (Sela)

 9 Citani kuna iwo ninga pidacita imwe kuna Amidhiyani,+

Ninga pidacita imwe kuna Sizera na Yabhini ku nkulo* wa Kisoni.+

10 Iwo aphiwa ku Eni-Dhori;+

Mbacitisa mataka kukhala na ndimu.

11 Citani kuna akadamu awo ninga pidacita imwe kuna Orebhi na Zebhi,+

Pontho citani kuna atsogoleri awo ninga pidacita imwe kuna Zebha na Zalmuna,+

12 Iwo alonga: “Tendeni tikakwate dziko inakhala Mulungu toera ikhale yathu.”

13 Imwe Mulungu wanga, acitiseni kukhala ninga masamba akuuma akuti asamburuswa na mphepo,+

Ninga mapesi anamburuswa na mphepo.

14 Ninga moto wakuti usapisa nsitu,

Ninga malirimi a moto akuti asabvula mapiri,+

15 Natenepa, athamangiseni na mphepo yanu ikulu,+

Pontho athuseni na condzi canu.+

16 Afambiseni tsuli-tsuli na manyadzo,

Toera iwo asake dzina yanu, imwe Yahova.

17 Mbapaswe manyadzo, pontho mbathuswe kwenda na kwenda;

Iwo mbapwazwe, pontho mbafudzwe;

18 Anthu mbadziwe kuti imwe dzina yanu ndi Yahova,+

Ndimwe basi Wankulu Kakamwe pa dziko yonsene yapantsi.+
