Salimo la Davide. Pamene iye ananyengezera misala pamaso pa Abimeleki, amene anamupirikitsa, iyeyo nʼkuchoka.
34 Ndidzayamika Yehova nthawi zonse;

2 Moyo wanga udzanyadira Yehova;
anthu osautsidwa amve ndi kukondwera.
3 Lemekezani Yehova pamodzi ndi ine;
tiyeni pamodzi tikuze dzina lake.
4 Ine ndinafunafuna Yehova ndipo Iye anandiyankha;
anandilanditsa ku mantha anga onse.
5 Iwo amene amayangʼana kwa Iye, nkhope zawo zimanyezimira;
nkhope zawo sizikhala zophimbidwa ndi manyazi.
6 Munthu wosauka uno anayitana, ndipo Yehova anamumva;

7 Mngelo wa Yehova amatchinjiriza amene amakonda Iye
ndi kuwalanditsa.
8 Lawani ndipo onani kuti Yehova ndi wabwino;
wodala munthu amene amathawira kwa Iye.
19 Munthu wolungama atha kukhala ndi mavuto ambiri,
Koma Yehova amamulanditsa ku mavuto onsewo,
20 Iye amateteza mafupa ake onse,
palibe limodzi la mafupawo limene lidzathyoledwa.
21 Choyipa chidzapha anthu oyipa;
adani a olungama adzapezeka olakwa.
22 Yehova amawombola atumiki ake;
aliyense amene amathawira kwa Iye sadzapezeka wolakwa.
