1 Pemphero la Davide. Imvani Inu Yehova pempho langa lachilungamo; mverani kulira kwanga. Tcherani khutu kuti mumve pemphero langa popeza silikuchokera pakamwa pachinyengo.
Zwana ukulunga, Nkosi, ulalele ukukhala kwami; ubeke indlebe emkhulekweni wami ongaphumi ezindebeni ezilenkohliso.
2 Kusalakwa kwanga kuchokera kwa inu; maso anu aone chimene ndi cholungama.
Ukwahlulelwa kwami kakuphume ebukhoneni bakho, amehlo akho kawabone izinto eziqondileyo.
3 Ngakhale Inu mutafufuza mtima wanga ndi kundisanthula usiku, ngakhale mutandiyesa, simudzapeza kanthu; Ine ndatsimikiza kuti pakamwa panga sipadzachimwa.
Uyilingile inhliziyo yami, wangihambela ebusuku; ungihlolile, kawuficanga lutho; ngihlosile, umlomo wami kawuyikuphambuka.
4 Kunena za ntchito za anthu, monga mwa mawu a pakamwa panu, Ine ndadzisunga ndekha posatsata njira zachiwawa.
Mayelana lezenzo zabantu, ngelizwi lendebe zakho, mina ngizinqandile ezindleleni zomchithi,
5 Mayendedwe anga akhazikika pa njira zanu; mapazi anga sanaterereke.
ukusekela izinyathelo zami emikhondweni yakho, ukuze inyawo zami zingatsheleli.
6 Ine ndikuyitana Inu, Mulungu wanga, pakuti mudzandiyankha; tcherani khutu lanu kwa ine ndipo mumve pemphero langa.
Mina ngikubizile, ngoba uzangiphendula, Nkulunkulu; beka indlebe yakho kimi, uzwe inkulumo yami.
7 Onetsani kudabwitsa kwa chikondi chanu chachikulu, Inu amene mumapulumutsa ndi dzanja lanu lamanja iwo amene amathawira kwa inu kuchoka kwa adani awo.
Tshengisa ngokumangalisayo uthandolomusa wakho, wena osindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene labo abathembela kuwe kwabavukelayo.
8 Mundisunge ine ngati mwanadiso; mundibise mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu,
Ngigcine njengenhlamvu yelihlo; ungifihle emthunzini wempiko zakho,
9 kuchoka kwa oyipa amene amandizinga ine, kuchoka kwa anthu amene ndi adani anga, amene andizungulira ine.
kubo ubuso bababi abangicindezelayo, izitha zempilo yami ezingihanqileyo.
10 Iwo amatseka mitima yawo yopanda chifundo, ndi pakamwa pawo amayankhula modzitamandira.
Bayazivalela ngamahwahwa abo; ngomlomo wabo bakhuluma ngokuzigqaja.
11 Andisaka, tsopano andizungulira ndi maso awo atcheru, kuti andigwetse pansi.
Sebesihanqile emanyathelweni ethu; amehlo abo bawamise besithobele emhlabathini.
12 Iwo ali ngati mkango wofuna nyama; ngati mkango waukulu wokhala mobisala.
Unjengesilwane esikhuthalele ukudabula, lanjengesilwane esitsha esiquthileyo endaweni ezisithekileyo.
13 Dzukani Yehova, mulimbane nawo ndipo muwagwetse pansi; landitseni kuchoka kwa oyipa ndi lupanga lanu.
Vuka, Nkosi! Uhlangabeze ubuso bakhe, umphosele phansi. Khulula umphefumulo wami komubi, oyinkemba yakho,
14 Inu Yehova, pulumutseni ndi dzanja lanu kwa anthu otere, kwa anthu a dziko lino amene mphotho yawo ili mʼmoyo uno. Inu mumaletsa njala kwa amene asangalatsidwa nanu; ana awo aamuna ali ndi zinthu zambiri, ndipo iwo amasunga chuma cha ana awo.
kubo abantu, abayisandla sakho, Nkosi, ebantwini bomhlaba, osabelo sabo sikulokhukuphila, osisu sabo usigcwalisa ngokuligugu kwakho; bagcwele abantwana, njalo batshiyele izingane zabo okuseleyo kwabo.
15 Ndipo ine mʼchilungamo ndidzaona nkhope yanu; pamene ndidzadzuka, ndidzakondwera kwambiri poonana nanu.
Mina, ngizakhangela ubuso bakho ekulungeni, ngeneliswe yisimo sakho ekuphaphameni kwami.
