Masalimo 3
1 Salimo la Davide. Atathawa mwana wake Abisalomu. Inu Yehova, achulukadi adani anga! Achulukadi amene andiwukira!
[A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] LORD, how my adversaries have increased. Many rise up against me.
2 Ambiri akunena za ine kuti, “Mulungu sadzamupulumutsa.” (Sela)
Many there are who 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 you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Kwa Yehova, Ine ndilira mofuwula ndipo Iye amandiyankha kuchokera ku phiri lake loyera. (Sela)
I cried out to the LORD with my voice, and he answered me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Ine ndimagona ndi kupeza tulo; ndimadzukanso chifukwa Yehova amandichirikiza.
I lay down and slept. I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
6 Sindidzaopa adani anga osawerengeka amene abwera kulimbana nane kuchokera ku madera onse.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Dzukani, Inu Yehova! Pulumutseni, Inu Mulungu wanga. Akantheni adani anga onse pa msagwada; gululani mano a anthu oyipa.
Arise, LORD. Save me, my God. For you slap all my enemies in the face. You break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Yehova. Madalitso akhale pa anthu anu. (Sela)
Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
