Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
8 Iwo amene akukhala kutali amaopa zizindikiro zozizwitsa zanu;
kumene dzuwa limatulukira ndi kumene dzuwa limalowera.
Inu mumafuna nyimbo zachimwemwe.
9 Inu mumasamalira dziko lapansi ndi kulithirira;
Inuyo mumalilemeretsa kwambiri.
Mtsinje wa Mulungu ndi wodzaza ndi madzi
kuti upereke tirigu kwa anthu,
pakuti Inu munakhazikitsa zimenezi.
10 Mwadzaza nthaka yake ndi madzi ndi kusalaza migula yake,
mwayifewetsa ndi mvula yamawawa ndi kudalitsa mbewu zake.
11 Inu mumaveka chaka ndi zinthu zochuluka,
ndipo ngolo zanu zimasefukira ndi zinthu zochuluka.
12 Malo a udzu a mʼchipululu amasefukira;
mapiri avekedwa ndi chisangalalo.
13 Madambo akutidwa ndi zoweta
ndi zigwa zavekedwa ndi tirigu;
izo pamodzi zikufuwula ndi kuyimba mwachimwemwe.
