Masalimo 86
1 Pemphero la Davide. Ndimvereni Yehova ndipo mundiyankhe, pakuti ndine wosauka ndi wosowa.
A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and answer 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.
Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.
3 Mundichitire chifundo, Inu Ambuye, pakuti ndikuyitana Inu tsiku lonse.
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto Thee do I cry all the day.
4 Bweretsani chimwemwe kwa mtumiki wanu, Ambuye, pakuti ndimadalira Inu.
Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Inu Ambuye, ndinu wokhululuka ndi wabwino, wodzaza ndi chikondi kwa onse amene amayitana Inu.
For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.
6 Yehova imvani pemphero langa; mvetserani kulira kwanga kofuna chifundo.
Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications.
7 Pa tsiku la mavuto anga ndidzayitana Inu, pakuti Inu mudzandiyankha.
In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.
8 Pakati pa milungu palibe wina wofanana nanu Ambuye; palibe ntchito zolingana ndi ntchito zanu.
There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, and there are no works like Thine.
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 prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify Thy name.
10 Pakuti ndinu wamkulu ndipo mumachita zodabwitsa; Inu nokha ndiye Mulungu.
For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art God alone.
11 Ndiphunzitseni njira yanu Yehova, ndipo ndidzayenda mʼchoonadi chanu; patseni mtima wosagawikana kuti ndilemekeze dzina lanu.
Teach me, O LORD, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; make one my heart to fear Thy name.
12 Ndidzakutamandani Ambuye Mulungu wanga, ndi mtima wanga wonse; ndidzalemekeza dzina lanu kwamuyaya.
I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.
For great is Thy mercy toward me; and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world. (Sheol h7585)
14 Inu Mulungu wanga, anthu odzikuza akundithira nkhondo; anthu ankhanza akufuna kundipha, amene salabadira za Inu.
O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, 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, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 Tembenukirani kwa ine ndipo ndichitireni chifundo; perekani mphamvu zanu kwa mtumiki wanu ndipo pulumutsani mwana wa mdzakazi wanu.
O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaid.
17 Mundionetse chizindikiro cha ubwino wanu kuti adani achione ndi kuchititsidwa manyazi, pakuti Yehova mwandithandiza ndi kunditonthoza.
Work in my behalf a sign for good; that they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
