< Masalimo 16 >
1 Mikitamu ya Davide. Ndisungeni Inu Mulungu, pakuti ine ndimathawira kwa Inu.
2 Ndinati kwa Yehova, “Inu ndinu Ambuye anga; popanda Inu, ine ndilibe chinthu chinanso chabwino.”
3 Kunena za oyera mtima amene ali pa dziko, amenewa ndi olemekezeka, amene ndimakondwera nawo.
4 Anthu amene amathamangira kwa milungu ina mavuto awo adzachulukadi. Ine sindidzathira nawo nsembe zawo zamagazi kapena kutchula mayina awo ndi pakamwa panga.
5 Yehova, Inu mwandipatsa cholowa changa ndi chikho changa; mwateteza kolimba gawo langa.
6 Malire a malo anga akhala pabwino; ndithudi, ine ndili cholowa chokondweretsa kwambiri.
7 Ine ndidzatamanda Yehova amene amandipatsa uphungu; ngakhale usiku mtima wanga umandilangiza.
8 Ndayika Yehova patsogolo panga nthawi zonse. Popeza Iyeyo ali kudzanja langa lamanja, sindidzagwedezeka.
9 Choncho mtima wanga ndi wosangalala ndipo pakamwa panga pakukondwera; thupi langanso lidzakhala pabwino,
10 chifukwa Inu simudzandisiya ku manda, simudzalola kuti woyera wanu avunde. (Sheol )
11 Inu mwandidziwitsa njira ya moyo; mudzandidzaza ndi chimwemwe pamaso panu, ndidzasangalala mpaka muyaya pa dzanja lanu lamanja.
