Masalimo 16
1 Mikitamu ya Davide. Ndisungeni Inu Mulungu, pakuti ine ndimathawira kwa Inu.
A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
2 Ndinati kwa Yehova, “Inu ndinu Ambuye anga; popanda Inu, ine ndilibe chinthu chinanso chabwino.”
You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
3 Kunena za oyera mtima amene ali pa dziko, amenewa ndi olemekezeka, amene ndimakondwera nawo.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
4 Anthu amene amathamangira kwa milungu ina mavuto awo adzachulukadi. Ine sindidzathira nawo nsembe zawo zamagazi kapena kutchula mayina awo ndi pakamwa panga.
Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 Yehova, Inu mwandipatsa cholowa changa ndi chikho changa; mwateteza kolimba gawo langa.
YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
6 Malire a malo anga akhala pabwino; ndithudi, ine ndili cholowa chokondweretsa kwambiri.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
7 Ine ndidzatamanda Yehova amene amandipatsa uphungu; ngakhale usiku mtima wanga umandilangiza.
I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Ndayika Yehova patsogolo panga nthawi zonse. Popeza Iyeyo ali kudzanja langa lamanja, sindidzagwedezeka.
I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Choncho mtima wanga ndi wosangalala ndipo pakamwa panga pakukondwera; thupi langanso lidzakhala pabwino,
Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Inu mwandidziwitsa njira ya moyo; mudzandidzaza ndi chimwemwe pamaso panu, ndidzasangalala mpaka muyaya pa dzanja lanu lamanja.
You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
