Masalimo 23

1 Salimo la Davide. Yehova ndiye mʼbusa wanga, sindidzasowa kanthu.

Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Jehovha ndiye mufudzi wangu, hapana chandingashayiwa.

2 Amandigoneka pa msipu wobiriwira, amanditsogolera ku madzi akumwa abwino,

Anondivatisa pamafuro manyoro, anondisesedza pamvura inozorodza,

3 amatsitsimutsa moyo wanga. Amanditsogolera mʼnjira zachilungamo chifukwa cha dzina lake.

anoponesa mweya wangu. Anondifambisa panzira dzokururama nokuda kwezita rake.

4 Ngakhale ndiyende mʼchigwa cha mdima wakuda bii, sindidzaopa choyipa, pakuti Inu muli ndi ine; chibonga chanu ndi ndodo yanu zimanditonthoza.

Kunyange ndikafamba nomumupata womumvuri worufu, handingatyi zvakaipa, nokuti imi muneni; tsvimbo yenyu nomudonzvo wenyu zvinondinyaradza.

5 Mumandikonzera chakudya adani anga akuona. Mumadzoza mutu wanga ndi mafuta; chikho changa chimasefukira.

Munondigadzirira tafura pamberi pavavengi vangu. Munozodza musoro wangu namafuta; mukombe wangu unopfachukira.

6 Zoonadi, zokoma ndi chikondi chosasinthika zidzanditsata masiku onse a moyo wanga, ndipo ndidzakhala mʼNyumba ya Yehova kwamuyaya.

Zvirokwazvo kunaka kwenyu norudo rwenyu zvichanditevera, mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu, uye ndichagara mumba maJehovha nokusingaperi.
