Masalimo 138

1 Salimo la Davide. Ndidzakuyamikani Yehova ndi mtima wanga wonse; ndidzayimba nyimbo zokutamandani pamaso pa “milungu.”

I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:

2 Ndidzagwada kuyangʼana ku Nyumba yanu yoyera ndipo ndidzayamika dzina lanu chifukwa cha chikondi chanu ndi kukhulupirika kwanu, pakuti Inu mwakuza dzina lanu ndi mawu anu kupambana zinthu zonse.

I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

3 Pamene ndinayitana, munandiyankha; munandisandutsa wamphamvu ndi wolimba mtima.

In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.

4 Mafumu onse a dziko lapansi akuyamikeni Yehova, pamene amva mawu a pakamwa panu.

May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

5 Iwo ayimbe za njira za Yehova, pakuti ulemerero wa Yehova ndi waukulu.

And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 Ngakhale kuti Yehova ngokwezeka, amasamalira odzichepetsa, koma anthu onyada amawadziwira chapatali.

For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

7 Ngakhale ndiyende pakati pa masautso, mumasunga moyo wanga; mumatambasula dzanja lanu kutsutsana ndi mkwiyo wa adani anga, mumandipulumutsa ndi dzanja lanu lamanja.

If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.

8 Yehova adzakwaniritsa cholinga chake pa ine; chikondi chanu chosasinthika Yehova, ndi chosatha musasiye ntchito ya manja anu.

The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
