Masalimo
Kwa wakulongozga sumu. Salimo la Davide, sumu.
40 Nkhalindilira* Yehova mwakuzika,
Ndipo wakathya khutu lake kwa ine, wakapulika kulira kwane kupempha wovwiri.+
2 Wakanifumiska mu mbuna yakofya,
Kunizuwura mu mathipa.
Wakayimika lundi lane pa jalawe.
Wakakhozga mendero ghane.
3 Penepapo wakaŵika sumu yiphya mu mulomo wane,+
Sumu ya kulumba Chiuta withu.
Ŵanandi ŵawonenge na kuchita wofi,
Ndipo ŵathembenge Yehova.
4 Ngwakukondwa munthu uyo wakuthemba Yehova
Uyo wakuleka kugomezga ŵanthu ŵamtafu panji ŵatesi.
5 Mwachita vinthu vinandi chomene,
A Yehova Chiuta wane,
Milimo yinu yakuzizwiska na ivyo mukutighanaghanira.+
Palije uyo wangayana namwe.+
Usange ningayezga kuviphara na kuviyowoya,
Viŵenge vinandi chomene, vingapendeka yayi!+
Mundapemphepo sembe zakotcha na sembe za kwananga.+
7 Penepapo nkhati: “Wonani, niza.
Mu mupukutu* muli kulembeka vya ine.+

Wonani! Nkhukora yayi milomo yane,+
Nga umo mukumanyira, A Yehova.

Nkhubisa yayi lusungu* lwinu na unenesko winu mukati mu mpingo ukuru.”+
11 A Yehova, munganinoranga yayi lusungu lwinu.
Lusungu* lwinu na unenesko winu vinisungilire nyengo zose.+
12 Masoka agho ghanizingilizga ngambura mapendeko,+
Mphuvya zane zinandi zanibungilizga mwakuti nkhutondeka kuwona nthowa yane.+
Ni zinandi chomene kuluska sisi la ku mutu wane,
Ndipo nataya mtima.
13 Mwe Yehova, zomerani kuniponoska.+
A Yehova, endeskani munovwire.+
14 Wose awo ŵakupenja umoyo wane
Ŵalengeskeke na kukhozgeka soni.
Awo ŵakukondwa na soka lane
Ŵawelere chifukwa cha soni.
15 Awo ŵakuyowoya kwa ine kuti: “Aha! Aha!”
Ŵazizikike chifukwa cha soni zawo.
Awo ŵakutemwa chiponosko chinu, nyengo zose ŵatenge:
“Wakuzgike Yehova.”+
17 Kweni ine nili wakusokwa na mukavu.
Mphanyi Yehova wazgokera kwa ine.
