Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
24 Ntchito zanu ndi zochulukadi Inu Yehova!
Munazipanga zonse mwanzeru,
dziko lapansi ladzaza ndi zolengedwa zanu.
25 Kuli nyanja yayikulu ndi yotambalala,
yodzaza ndi zolengedwa zosawerengeka,
zamoyo zanu zazikulu ndi zazingʼono zomwe.
26 Kumeneko sitima zapamadzi zimayenda uku ndi uku,
ndiponso Leviyatani amene munamulenga kuti asewere kumeneko.
27 Zonsezi zimayangʼana kwa Inu
kuti muzipatse chakudya chawo pa nthawi yake yoyenera.
28 Mukazipatsa,
zimachisonkhanitsa pamodzi;
mukatsekula dzanja lanu,
izo zimakhutitsidwa ndi zinthu zabwino.
29 Mukabisa nkhope yanu,
izo zimachita mantha aakulu;
mukachotsa mpweya wawo,
zimafa ndi kubwerera ku fumbi.
30 Mukatumiza mzimu wanu,
izo zimalengedwa
ndipo mumakozanso maonekedwe a dziko lapansi.
31 Ulemerero wa Yehova ukhalebe mpaka muyaya;
Yehova akondwere ndi ntchito ya manja ake;
32 Iye amene amayangʼana dziko lapansi ndipo limanjenjemera,
amene amakhudza mapiri ndipo amatuluka utsi.
33 Ine ndidzayimbira Yehova moyo wanga wonse;
ndidzayimbira matamando Mulungu wanga nthawi yonse imene ndili ndi moyo.
34 Zolingalira zanga zikhale zomukomera Iye,
pamene ndikusangalala mwa Yehova.
35 Koma anthu ochimwa awonongeke pa dziko lapansi
ndipo anthu oyipa asapezekenso.
Tamanda Yehova, Iwe moyo wanga.
Tamandani Yehova.
