Masalimo 3
1 Salimo la Davide. Atathawa mwana wake Abisalomu. Inu Yehova, achulukadi adani anga! Achulukadi amene andiwukira!
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.
2 Ambiri akunena za ine kuti, “Mulungu sadzamupulumutsa.” (Sela)
Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
3 Koma Inu Yehova, ndinu chishango chonditeteza, Inu mwandiveka ulemerero ndipo mwanditukula.
But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Kwa Yehova, Ine ndilira mofuwula ndipo Iye amandiyankha kuchokera ku phiri lake loyera. (Sela)
With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Ine ndimagona ndi kupeza tulo; ndimadzukanso chifukwa Yehova amandichirikiza.
I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Sindidzaopa adani anga osawerengeka amene abwera kulimbana nane kuchokera ku madera onse.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Dzukani, Inu Yehova! Pulumutseni, Inu Mulungu wanga. Akantheni adani anga onse pa msagwada; gululani mano a anthu oyipa.
Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Yehova. Madalitso akhale pa anthu anu. (Sela)
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. (Selah)
