Masalimo 16

Mikitamu ya Davide.

1Ndisungeni Inu Mulungu,

pakuti ine ndimathawira kwa Inu.

2Ndinati kwa Yehova, “Inu ndinu Ambuye anga;

popanda Inu, ine ndilibe chinthu chinanso chabwino.”

3Kunena za oyera mtima amene ali pa dziko,

amenewa ndi olemekezeka, amene ndimakondwera nawo.

4Anthu amene amathamangira kwa milungu ina

mavuto awo adzachulukadi.

Ine sindidzathira nawo nsembe zawo zamagazi

kapena kutchula mayina awo ndi pakamwa panga.

5Yehova, Inu mwandipatsa cholowa changa ndi chikho changa;

mwateteza kolimba gawo langa.

6Malire a malo anga akhala pabwino;

ndithudi, ine ndili cholowa chokondweretsa kwambiri.

7Ine ndidzatamanda Yehova amene amandipatsa uphungu;

ngakhale usiku mtima wanga umandilangiza.

8Ndayika Yehova patsogolo panga nthawi zonse.

Popeza Iyeyo ali kudzanja langa lamanja,

sindidzagwedezeka.

9Choncho mtima wanga ndi wosangalala ndipo pakamwa panga pakukondwera;

thupi langanso lidzakhala pabwino,

10chifukwa Inu simudzandisiya ku manda,

simudzalola kuti woyera wanu avunde.

11Inu mwandidziwitsa njira ya moyo;

mudzandidzaza ndi chimwemwe pamaso panu,

ndidzasangalala mpaka muyaya pa dzanja lanu lamanja.
