8 Koma usana Yehova amalamulira chikondi chake,

9 Ine ndikuti kwa Mulungu Thanthwe langa,
“Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwandiyiwala?
Nʼchifukwa chiyani ndiyenera kuyenda ndikulira,

10 Mafupa anga ali ndi ululu wakufa nawo

Khulupirira Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamutamandanso,
Iye amene ali thandizo langa ndi Mulungu wanga.
