105 Yamikani Yehova, itanani dzina lake;

2 Imbirani Iye, imbani matamando kwa Iyeyo;

3 Munyadire dzina lake loyera;
mitima ya iwo amene amafunafuna Yehova ikondwere.
4 Dalirani Yehova ndi mphamvu zake;

5 Kumbukirani zodabwitsa zimene Iye anazichita,

16 Iye anabweretsa njala pa dziko

18 Iwo anavulaza mapazi ake ndi matangadza,

20 Mfumu inatuma munthu kukamumasula,
