64 Mbapidakhala mwadidi kakamwe mbamudapandula kudzulu mbamutcita pantsi,
Natenepa mapiri mbadatetemera thangwi ya imwe,
2 Ninga pinacita moto ungapisa nkhuni zakuuma,
Pontho ninga pinacita iwo ungaperusa madzi,
Natenepa anyamalwa anu mbadadziwa dzina yanu,
Pontho madzindza mbadatetemera pamaso panu!
3 Pidacita imwe pinthu pyakudzumisa pyakuti ife nee tikhapidikhira,+
Imwe mwatcita, pontho mapiri atekenyeka pamaso panu.+
4 Kutomera kale kakamwe nkhabepo munthu adabva,
Peno kunyerezera pya Mulungu unango kusiyapo imwe,
Pontho nkhabepo adamuona, wakuti asacita pinthu toera kuphedza ale ananʼdikhira.*+
5 Imwe mwasaka ale akuti asakomerwa na kucita pinthu pyadidi,+
Ale akuti asakukumbukani mbatowezera njira zanu.
Imwe mwaipirwa thangwi ife tikhapitiriza kudawa,+
Ife tisadawa kutomera kale.
Kodi cincino, ife tathema kupulumuswa?
6 Pontho ife tonsene tadzakhala ninga munthu wakukhonda cena,
Macitiro athu onsene aulungami anadzakhala ninga cinguwo ca nkazi wakuti ali ku mwezi.+
Tonsene tinabunyala ninga tsamba,
Pontho ife tinakwatwa na madodo athu ninga mphepo.
7 Nkhabepo anacemera dzina yanu,
Nkhabepo anawangisira toera kusaka ciphedzo canu,
Thangwi imwe mwatibisira nkhope yanu,+
Pontho imwe mwaticitisa kuti tionde thangwi ya madodo athu.
8 Mbwenye cincino Yahova, imwe ndimwe Babathu.+
9 Imwe Yahova, lekani kuipirwa kakamwe,+
Pontho lekani kukumbuka madodo athu kwenda na kwenda.
Taphata miyendo, tiyangʼaneni, thangwi tonsene ndife mbumba yanu.
10 Mizinda yanu yakucena yadzakhala ninga thando.
Sioni adzakhala ninga thando,
Yerusalemu adzakhala ninga madembe.+
11 Nyumba* yathu yakucena na yakubalika,
Mule mukhakusimbirani ambuyathu,
Yamala kupiswa na moto,+
Pontho pinthu pyonsene pikhakomerwa na ife pyamala kufudzwa.
12 Imwe Yahova, na nyatwa zonsene zinatigwera, kodi munapitiriza kukhonda kutiphedza?
Kodi munapitiriza kumatama, mbamutisiya kuti tithabuswe kakamwe?+
