Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
23 Inu amene mumaopa Yehova mutamandeni!
Inu zidzukulu zonse za Yakobo, mulemekezeni!
Muopeni mwaulemu, inu zidzukulu zonse za Israeli!
24 Pakuti Iye sanapeputse kapena kunyoza
kuvutika kwa wosautsidwayo;
Iye sanabise nkhope yake kwa iye.
Koma anamvera kulira kwake kofuna thandizo.
25 Ndidzakutamandani pa msonkhano waukulu chifukwa cha zimene mwandichitira.
Ndidzakwaniritsa lonjezo langa pamaso pa amene amaopa Inu.
26 Osauka adzadya ndipo adzakhuta;
iwo amene amafunafuna Yehova adzamutamanda.
Mitima yanu ikhale ndi moyo mpaka muyaya!
27 Malekezero onse a dziko lapansi
adzakumbukira Yehova ndi kutembenukira kwa Iye,
ndipo mabanja a mitundu ya anthu
adzawerama pamaso pake,
28 pakuti ulamuliro ndi wake wa Yehova
ndipo Iye amalamulira anthu a mitundu yonse.
29 Anthu olemera onse a dziko lapansi adzachita phwando ndi kulambira;
onse amene amapita ku fumbi adzagwada pamaso pake;
iwo amene sangathe kudzisunga okha ndi moyo.
30 Zidzukulu zamʼtsogolo zidzamutumikira Iye;
mibado ya mʼtsogolo idzawuzidwa za Ambuye.
31 Iwo adzalengeza za chilungamo chake
kwa anthu amene pano sanabadwe
pakuti Iye wachita zimenezi.
