Masalimo 131

1 Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mtima wanga siwodzikuza, maso anga siwonyada; sinditengeteka mtima ndi zinthu zapamwamba ndi zodabwitsa.

A Song of Degrees. O Lord, my heart is not exalted, neither have mine eyes been [haughtily] raised: neither have I exercised myself in great [matters], nor in things too wonderful for me.

2 Koma moyo wanga ndawutontholetsa ndi kuwukhalitsa chete ngati mwana amene amayi ake amuletsa kuyamwa, moyo wanga mʼkati mwanga uli ngati mwana amene amuletsa kuyamwa.

[I shall have sinned] if I have not been humble, but have exulted my soul: according to [the relation of] a weaned child to his mother, so will you recompense my soul.

3 Yembekeza Yehova, iwe Israeli, kuyambira tsopano mpaka muyaya.

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
