Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide.
20 Yehova akuyankhe pamene uli pa msautso;
dzina la Mulungu wa Yakobo likuteteze.
2 Iye atumize thandizo kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika;
akugwirizize kuchokera ku Ziyoni.
3 Iye akumbukire nsembe zako zonse
ndipo alandire nsembe zako zopsereza.
Sela
4 Akupatse chokhumba cha mtima wako
ndipo akuthandize kuti zonse wakonza zichitike.
5 Ife tidzafuwula ndi chimwemwe pamene iwe wapambana
ndipo tidzanyamula mbendera zathu mʼdzina la Mulungu wathu,
Yehova ayankhe zopempha zako zonse.
6 Tsopano ndadziwa kuti Yehova amapulumutsa wodzozedwa wake;
Iye amamuyankha kuchokera kumwamba ku malo ake opatulika
ndi mphamvu yopulumutsa ya dzanja lake lamanja.
7 Ena amadalira magaleta ndipo ena akavalo
koma ife tidzadalira dzina la Yehova Mulungu wathu.
8 Iwo amagonjetsedwa ndi kugwa,
koma ife timadzuka ndi kuyima chilili.
9 Inu Yehova, pulumutsani mfumu!
Tiyankheni pamene tikuyitanani!
