Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Ndakatulo ya Davide. Pa zoyimbira za zingwe.
55 Mvetserani pemphero langa, Inu Mulungu,

6 Ndinati, “Ndithu, ndikanakhala ndi mapiko ankhunda!
Ndikanawulukira kutali ndi kukapuma.
7 Ndikanathawira kutali
ndi kukakhala mʼchipululu.
8 Ndikanathamangira kumalo anga a chitetezo;

pakuti ine ndikuona chiwawa ndi mkangano mu mzinda.
10 Usana ndi usiku iwo akuzungulirazungulira pa makoma ake;

12 Akanakhala mdani akundinyoza, ine

akanakhala mdani akudzikweza yekha kutsutsana nane,
ndikanakabisala.
13 Koma iweyo mnzanga, mnzanga woyenda naye,

14 Mnzanga amene nthawi ina tinkasangalala

18 Iye amandiwombola ine osavulazidwa
pa nkhondo imene yafika kulimbana nane,
ngakhale kuti ndi ambiri amene akunditsutsa.
19 Mulungu amene ali pa mpando wake kwamuyaya,
adzandimenyera nkhondo; adzawatsitsa adani anga,
chifukwa safuna kusintha njira zawo zoyipa
ndipo saopa Mulungu.
20 Mnzanga woyenda naye wathira nkhondo abwenzi ake;

21 Mawu ake ndi osalala kuposa batala
komabe nkhondo ili mu mtima mwake;
mawu ake ndi osalala kwambiri kuposa mafuta,
komatu mawuwo ndi malupanga osololoka.
22 Tulani nkhawa zanu kwa Yehova
ndipo Iye adzakulimbitsani;
Iye sadzalola kuti wolungama agwe.
23 Koma Inu Mulungu mudzawatsitsa anthu oyipa
kulowa mʼdzenje lachiwonongeko;

sadzakhala moyo theka la masiku awo,
koma ine ndimadalira Inu.

7 Musalole konse kuti athawe;

5 Koma ngati kuyipa mtima kwathu kuonetsa poyera kuti Mulungu ndi wolungama, ife tinganene chiyani? Kodi tinganene kuti Mulungu ndi wosalungama pamene aonetsa mkwiyo wake pa ife? (Ine ndikuyankhula monga mmene anthu ena amayankhulira). 6 Ayi. Mʼnjira iliyonse ayi!

Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene amachita zabwino,
