1Ndinati, “Ndidzasamalira njira zanga

ndipo ndidzasunga lilime langa kuti ndisachimwe;

ndidzatseka pakamwa panga ndi chitsekerero

nthawi yonse imene woyipa ali pamaso panga.”

2Koma pamene ndinali chete

3Mtima wanga unatentha mʼkati mwanga,

4“Yehova ndionetseni mathero a moyo wanga

ndi chiwerengero cha masiku anga;

mundidziwitse kuti moyo wanga ndi wosakhalitsa motani.

5Inu mwachititsa kuti masiku anga akhale ochepa kwambiri,

kutalika kwa zaka zanga ndi kopanda phindu pamaso panu;

moyo wa munthu aliyense ndi waufupi.
