11Inu munatipereka kuti tiwonongedwe monga nkhosa

ndipo mwatibalalitsa pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.

12Inu munagulitsa anthu anu pa mtengo wotsika,

osapindulapo kanthu pa malondawo.

13Mwachititsa kuti tikhale chochititsa manyazi kwa anthu a mitundu ina,

19Koma Inu mwatiphwanya ndi kuchititsa kuti tikhale ozunzidwa ndi ankhandwe

ndipo mwatiphimba ndi mdima waukulu.

20Tikanayiwala dzina la Mulungu wathu

21kodi Mulungu wathu sakanazidziwa zimenezi,

pakuti Iye amadziwa zinsinsi zamumtima?

22Komabe chifukwa cha Inu timakumana ndi imfa tsiku lonse,

23Dzukani Ambuye! Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukugona!

Dziwutseni nokha! Musatikane kwamuyaya.

24Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukubisa nkhope yanu,

ndi kuyiwala mavuto athu ndi kuponderezedwa kwathu?

25Tatsitsidwa pansi mpaka pa fumbi;

matupi athu amatirira pa dothi.

26Imirirani ndi kutithandiza,

tiwomboleni chifukwa cha chikondi chanu chosasinthika.
