Masalimo 141

Salimo la Davide.

1Inu Yehova ndikukuyitanani; bwerani msanga kwa ine.

Imvani mawu anga pamene ndiyitana Inu.

2Pemphero langa lifike kwa Inu ngati lubani;

kukweza manja kwanga kukhale ngati nsembe yamadzulo.

3Yehova ikani mlonda pakamwa panga;

londerani khomo la pa milomo yanga.

4Musalole kuti mtima wanga ukokedwere ku zoyipa;

kuchita ntchito zonyansa

pamodzi ndi anthu amene amachita zoyipa;

musalole kuti ndidye nawo zokoma zawo.

5Munthu wolungama andikanthe, chimenecho ndiye chifundo;

andidzudzule ndiye mafuta pa mutu wanga.

Mutu wanga sudzakana zimenezi.

Komabe pemphero langa nthawi zonse ndi lotsutsana ndi ntchito za anthu ochita zoyipa.

6Olamulira awo adzaponyedwa pansi kuchokera pa malo okwera kwambiri,

ndipo anthu oyipa adzaphunzira kuti mawu anga anayankhulidwa bwino.

7Iwo adzati, “Monga momwe nkhuni zimamwazikira akaziwaza,

ndi momwenso mafupa athu amwazikira pa khomo la manda.”

8Koma maso anga akupenyetsetsa Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse;

ndimathawira kwa Inu, musandipereke ku imfa.

9Mundipulumutse ku misampha imene anditchera,

ku makhwekhwe amene anthu oyipa andikonzera.

10Anthu oyipa akodwe mʼmaukonde awo,

mpaka ine nditadutsa mwamtendere.
