< Masalimo 9 >
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Monga mwa mayimbidwe a nyimbo ya “Imfa ya Mwana.” Salimo la Davide. Ine ndidzakutamandani, Inu Yehova, ndi mtima wanga wonse; ndidzafotokoza za zodabwitsa zanu zonse.
[For the choir director; according to Muth-labben. A Psalm by David.] I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2 Ndidzakondwa ndi kusangalala mwa inu; Ndidzayimba nyimbo zamatamando pa dzina lanu, Inu Wammwambamwamba.
I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3 Adani anga amathawa, iwo amapunthwa ndi kuwonongedwa pamaso panu.
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
4 Pakuti Inu mwatsimikiza za kulungama kwanga ndi mlandu wanga; Inu mwakhala pa mpando wanu waufumu, kuweruza mwachilungamo.
For you have upheld my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
5 Mwadzudzula mitundu ya anthu ndipo mwawononga anthu oyipa; Inu mwafafaniza dzina lawo kwamuyaya.
You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 Chiwonongeko chosatha chagwera adani, mwafafaniza mizinda yawo; ngakhale chikumbutso chawo chawonongedwa.
The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin; and the very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7 Yehova akulamulira kwamuyaya; wakhazikitsa mpando wake waufumu woweruzira.
But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 Iye adzaweruza dziko mwachilungamo; adzalamulira mitundu ya anthu mosakondera.
And he will judge the world in righteousness. He will judge the peoples with equity.
9 Yehova ndiye kothawirako kwa opsinjika mtima, linga pa nthawi ya mavuto.
The LORD will also be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 Iwo amene amadziwa dzina lanu adzadalira Inu, pakuti Inu Yehova, simunawatayepo amene amafunafuna inu.
And those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11 Imbani nyimbo zamatamando kwa Yehova, ali pa mpando waufumu mu Ziyoni; lengezani pakati pa mitundu ya anthu zimene wachita.
Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
12 Pakuti Iye amene amabwezera chilango akupha anzawo wakumbukira; Iye salekerera kulira kwa ozunzika.
For he who takes revenge against murderers remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 Inu Yehova, onani momwe adani anga akundizunzira! Chitireni chifundo ndipo ndichotseni pa zipata za imfa,
Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me. You lift me up from the gates of death,
14 kuti ndilengeze za matamando anu pa zipata za ana aakazi a Ziyoni, kuti pamenepo ndikondwere ndi chipulumutso chanu.
so that I may tell all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 Mitundu ya anthu yagwa mʼdzenje limene yakumba; mapazi awo akodwa mu ukonde umene anawubisa.
The nations have fallen into the pit they had made. In the net which they hid, their feet are caught.
16 Yehova amadziwika ndi chilungamo chake; oyipa akodwa ndi ntchito za manja awo. Higayoni. (Sela)
The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 Oyipa amabwerera ku manda, mitundu yonse imene imayiwala Mulungu. (Sheol )
The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol )
18 Koma osowa sadzayiwalika nthawi zonse, kapena chiyembekezo cha ozunzika kutayika nthawi zonse.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 Dzukani Inu Yehova, musalole munthu kuti apambane; mitundu yonse iweruzidwe pamaso panu.
Arise, LORD. Do not let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Akantheni ndi mantha aakulu, Inu Yehova; mitundu idziwe kuti iwo ndi anthu wamba. (Sela)
Terrify them, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only human. (Selah)
