1Tcherani khutu ku mawu anga, Inu Yehova,

2Mverani kulira kwanga kofuna thandizo,

Mfumu yanga ndi Mulungu wanga,

pakuti kwa Inu, ine ndikupemphera.

3Mmawa, Yehova mumamva mawu anga;

Mmawa ndimayala zopempha zanga pamaso panu

ndi kudikira mwachiyembekezo.

4Inu si Mulungu amene mumasangalala ndi zoyipa;

choyipa sichikhala pamaso panu.

5Onyada sangathe kuyima pamaso panu;

Inu mumadana ndi onse ochita zoyipa.

6Mumawononga iwo amene amanena mabodza;

anthu akupha ndi achinyengo,

Yehova amanyansidwa nawo.

7Koma Ine, mwa chifundo chanu chachikulu,

ndidzalowa mʼNyumba yanu;

mwa ulemu ndidzaweramira pansi

kuyangʼana ku Nyumba yanu yoyera.

8Tsogolereni Inu Yehova, mwa chilungamo chanu

9Palibe mawu ochokera mʼkamwa mwawo amene angadalirike;

mtima wawo wadzaza ndi chiwonongeko.

Kummero kwawo kuli ngati manda apululu;

ndi lilime lawo amayankhula zachinyengo.

10Lengezani kuti ndi olakwa, Inu Mulungu!

Zochita zawo zoyipa zikhale kugwa kwawo.

Achotseni pamaso panu chifukwa cha machimo awo ambiri,

pakuti awukira Inu.

11Koma lolani kuti onse amene apeza chitetezo mwa Inu akondwere;

lolani kuti aziyimba nthawi zonse chifukwa cha chimwemwe.

Aphimbeni ndi chitetezo chanu,

iwo amene amakonda dzina lanu akondwere mwa Inu.

12Ndithu, Inu Yehova, mumadalitsa olungama;

mumawazungulira ndi kukoma mtima kwanu ngati chishango.
