Masalimo 19

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide.

1Zakumwamba zimalengeza za ulemerero wa Mulungu;

thambo limalalikira ntchito za manja ake.

2Tsiku ndi tsiku zimayankhula mawu ambiri,

usiku ndi usiku zimaonetsa poyera nzeru.

3Palibe kuyankhula, palibe mawu aliwonse;

liwu lawo silimveka.

4Koma uthenga wawo umapita pa dziko lonse lapansi,

mawuwo amafika mpaka

kumalekezero a dziko lapansi.

5Dzuwa lili ngati mkwatibwi wobwera kuchokera ku nsanja yake,

ngati katswiri wokondwerera kuthamanga pa mpikisano.

6Limatuluka kuyambira mbali ina ya thambo

ndi kuzungulira mpaka mbali inanso;

palibe chinthu chotha kupewa kutentha kwake.

7Lamulo la Yehova ndi langwiro,

kutsitsimutsa moyo.

Maumboni a Yehova ndi odalirika,

amapereka nzeru kwa wopanda nzeru.

8Malangizo a Yehova ndi olungama,

amapereka chimwemwe mu mtima.

Malamulo a Yehova ndi onyezimira,

amapereka kuwala.

9Kuopa Yehova ndiye chinthu changwiro,

chimakhala mpaka muyaya.

Maweruzo a Yehova ndi owona

ndipo onse ndi olungama;

10ndi a mtengowapatali kuposa golide,

kuposa golide weniweni;

ndi otsekemera kuposa uchi,

kuposa uchi wochokera pa chisa chake.

11Mtumiki wanu amachenjezedwa nawo;

powasunga pali mphotho yayikulu.

12Ndani angathe kudziwa zolakwa zake?

Mundikhululukire zolakwa zanga zobisika.

13Muteteze mtumiki wanunso ku machimo ochita akudziwa;

iwo asandilamulire.

Kotero ndidzakhala wosalakwa,

wopanda mlandu wa tchimo lalikulu.

14Mawu a mʼkamwa mwanga ndi zolingalira za mu mtima mwanga

zikhale zokondweretsa pamaso panu,

Inu Yehova, Thanthwe langa ndi Mpulumutsi wanga.
