85 Yahova, imwe mwabvera ntsisi dziko yanu;+

Imwe mwabweresa ana a Yakobe akuti akhadaendeswa ku ubitcu.+

 2 Imwe mwalekerera madodo a mbumba yanu;

Imwe mwalekerera* madawo awo onsene.+ (Sela)

 3 Imwe mwabweza ukali wanu onsene;

Nee mwapangiza ukali wanu ukulu.+

 4 Imwe Mulungu mpulumusi wathu, tipaseni pontho mphambvu,*

Pontho lekanibve kuipirwa na ife.+

 6 Kodi nee munatipasa pontho mphambvu

Toera mbumba yanu ikomerwe thangwi ya imwe?+

 7 Yahova, tipangizeni ufuni wanu wakukhonda mala,+

Pontho tipulumuseni.

 8 Ine ndinabvesera pinafuna kulonga Mulungu wandimomwene Yahova,

Thangwi iye anadzalonga pya ntendere kuna mbumba yace,+ kuna anthu ace akukhulupirika,

Mbwenye iwo nee asafunika kunyindira mphambvu zawo ninga kale.+

 9 Iye ali dzololo toera kupulumusa ale ananʼgopa,+

Toera mbiri yace ikhale mu dziko yathu.

10 Ufuni wakukhonda mala na kukhulupirika pinadzagumanikana;

Ulungami na ntendere pinadzampswompswonana.+

11 Kukhulupirika kunaphukira pa dziko yapantsi,

Pontho ulungami unadzabwera kubulukira kudzulu.+

12 Inde, Yahova anadzapereka pinthu pyadidi,*+

Pontho dziko yathu inadzabala misapo yace.+

13 Ulungami unafamba patsogolo pace,+

Pontho unasasanya njira toera miyendo yace ifambe mwenemu.
