Masalimo 86
1 Pemphero la Davide. Ndimvereni Yehova ndipo mundiyankhe, pakuti ndine wosauka ndi wosowa.
A Prayer of David. O Lord, incline thine ear, and hearken to me; for I am poor and needy.
2 Yangʼanirani moyo wanga, pakuti ndine wodzipereka kwa Inu. Inu ndinu Mulungu wanga; pulumutsani mtumiki wanu amene amadalira Inu. Inu ndinu Mulungu wanga.
Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save thy servant, O God, who hopes in thee.
3 Mundichitire chifundo, Inu Ambuye, pakuti ndikuyitana Inu tsiku lonse.
Pity me, O Lord: for to thee will I cry all the day.
4 Bweretsani chimwemwe kwa mtumiki wanu, Ambuye, pakuti ndimadalira Inu.
Rejoice the sold of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
5 Inu Ambuye, ndinu wokhululuka ndi wabwino, wodzaza ndi chikondi kwa onse amene amayitana Inu.
For thou, O Lord, art kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
6 Yehova imvani pemphero langa; mvetserani kulira kwanga kofuna chifundo.
Give ear to my prayer, o Lord; and attend to the voice of my supplication.
7 Pa tsiku la mavuto anga ndidzayitana Inu, pakuti Inu mudzandiyankha.
In the day of my trouble I cried to thee: for thou didst hear me.
8 Pakati pa milungu palibe wina wofanana nanu Ambuye; palibe ntchito zolingana ndi ntchito zanu.
There is none like to thee, O Lord, among the god; and there are no [works] like to thy works.
9 Mitundu yonse ya anthu imene munayipanga idzabwera ndi kudzalambira pamaso panu Ambuye; iwo adzabweretsa ulemerero pa dzina lanu.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come, and shall worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10 Pakuti ndinu wamkulu ndipo mumachita zodabwitsa; Inu nokha ndiye Mulungu.
For thou art great, and doest wonders: thou art the only [and] the great God.
11 Ndiphunzitseni njira yanu Yehova, ndipo ndidzayenda mʼchoonadi chanu; patseni mtima wosagawikana kuti ndilemekeze dzina lanu.
Guide me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice, that I may fear thy name.
12 Ndidzakutamandani Ambuye Mulungu wanga, ndi mtima wanga wonse; ndidzalemekeza dzina lanu kwamuyaya.
I will give thee thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify thy name for ever.
For thy mercy is great toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
14 Inu Mulungu wanga, anthu odzikuza akundithira nkhondo; anthu ankhanza akufuna kundipha, amene salabadira za Inu.
O God, transgressors have risen up against me, and an assembly of violent [men] have sought my life; and have not set thee before them.
15 Koma Ambuye ndinu Mulungu wachifundo ndi wokoma mtima, wosakwiya msanga, wodzaza ndi chikondi ndi wokhulupirika.
But thou, O Lord God, art compassionate and merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and true.
16 Tembenukirani kwa ine ndipo ndichitireni chifundo; perekani mphamvu zanu kwa mtumiki wanu ndipo pulumutsani mwana wa mdzakazi wanu.
Look thou upon me, and have mercy upon me: give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Mundionetse chizindikiro cha ubwino wanu kuti adani achione ndi kuchititsidwa manyazi, pakuti Yehova mwandithandiza ndi kunditonthoza.
Establish with me a token for good; and let them that hate me see [it] and be ashamed; because thou, O Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.
