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 ascents; of David. Yahweh, my heart is not proud or my eyes haughty. I do not have great hopes for myself or concern myself with things that are beyond 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.

Indeed I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother, my soul within me is like a weaned child.

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

Israel, hope in Yahweh now and forever.
