Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Monga mwa mayimbidwe seminiti. Salimo la Davide.
1 Thandizeni Yehova pakuti palibe munthu wokhulupirika;
okhulupirika akusowa pakati pa anthu.
2 Aliyense amanamiza mʼbale wake;
ndi pakamwa pawo pabodza amayankhula zachinyengo.
3 Inu Yehova tsekani milomo yonse yachinyengo
ndi pakamwa paliponse podzikuza.
4 Pakamwa pamene pamati, “Ife tidzapambana ndi kuyankhula kwathu;
pakamwapa ndi pathupathu, tsono mbuye wathu ndani?”
5 “Chifukwa cha kuponderezedwa kwa anthu opanda mphamvu
ndi kubuwula kwa anthu osowa,
Ine ndidzauka tsopano,” akutero Yehova,
“Ndidzawateteza kwa owazunza.”
6 Ndipo mawu a Yehova ndi angwiro
monga siliva oyengedwa mʼngʼanjo yadothi,
oyengedwa kasanu nʼkawiri.
7 Inu Yehova mudzatitchinjiriza ndipo
mudzatiteteza kwa anthu otere kwamuyaya.
8 Oyipa amangoyendayenda ponseponse
anthu akamayamikira zochita zawo.
