Who shall tell the mighty acts of the Lord? [who] shall cause all his praises to be heard?
3 Odala ndi amene amasunga chilungamo, amene amachita zolungama nthawi zonse.
Blessed are they that keep judgement, and do righteousness at all times.

Remember us, O Lord, with the favour [you have] to your people: visit us with your salvation;

Our fathers in Egypt understood not your wonders, and remembered not the multitude of your mercy; but provoked [him] as they went up by the Red Sea.

Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might cause his mighty power to be known.

Moreover they set at nothing the desirable land, and believed not his word.
25 Anangʼungʼudza mʼmatenti mwawo ndipo sanamvere Yehova.

They destroyed not the nations which the Lord told them [to destroy];
35 Koma anasakanizana ndi anthu a mitundu inayo ndi kuphunzira miyambo yawo.
