< Masalimo 123 >
1 Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndikweza maso anga kwa Inu, kwa Inu amene mumakhala kumwamba.
Canticum graduum. Ad te levavi oculos meos, qui habitas in cælis.
2 Taonani, monga momwe maso a akapolo amayangʼana mʼdzanja la mbuye wawo, monga momwenso maso a mdzakazi amayangʼana mʼdzanja la dona wake, choncho maso athu ali kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu, mpaka atichitire chifundo.
Ecce sicut oculi servorum in manibus dominorum suorum; sicut oculi ancillæ in manibus dominæ suæ: ita oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum, donec misereatur nostri.
3 Mutichitire chifundo, Inu Yehova mutichitire chifundo, pakuti tapirira chitonzo chachikulu.
Miserere nostri, Domine, miserere nostri, quia multum repleti sumus despectione;
4 Ife tapirira mnyozo wambiri kuchokera kwa anthu odzikuza, chitonzo chachikulu kuchokera kwa anthu onyada.
quia multum repleta est anima nostra opprobrium abundantibus, et despectio superbis.
