71 Mwa Inu Yehova ine ndathawiramo;
musalole kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi.
2 Mundilanditse ndi kundipulumutsa mwa chilungamo chanu,
mutchere khutu lanu ndi kundipulumutsa.
3 Mukhale thanthwe langa lothawirapo,
kumene ine nditha kupita nthawi zonse;
lamulani kuti ndipulumuke,
pakuti Inu ndinu thanthwe langa ndi linga langa.
4 Landitseni Inu Mulungu wanga, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa,
kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa ndi anthu ankhanza.
5 Pakuti Inu mwakhala chiyembekezo changa, Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse,
chilimbikitso changa kuyambira ndili mwana.
6 Kuyambira pamene ndinabadwa, ndakhala ndikudalira Inu;
Inu munanditulutsa mʼmimba mwa amayi anga,
ndipo ndidzakupembedzani nthawi zonse.
