The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Mitambo ndi mdima waukulu zamuzungulira; chilungamo ndi kuweruza molungama ndiwo maziko a mpando wake waufumu.
Clouds and darkness surroundeth him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
3 Moto umapita patsogolo pake ndi kunyeketsa amaliwongo kumbali zonse.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies on every side.
4 Zingʼaningʼani zake zimawalitsa dziko lonse; dziko lapansi limaona ndipo limanjenjemera.
His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Mapiri amasungunuka ngati phula pamaso pa Yehova, pamaso pa Ambuye a dziko lonse lapansi.
The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Mayiko akumwamba amalengeza za chilungamo chake, ndipo mitundu yonse ya anthu imaona ulemerero wake.
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7 Onse amene amalambira mafano osema amachititsidwa manyazi, iwo amene amanyadira mafano; mulambireni, inu milungu yonse!
Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8 Ziyoni akumva ndipo akukondwera, midzi ya Yuda ikusangalala chifukwa cha maweruzo anu Yehova.
Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
9 Pakuti Inu Yehova ndi Wammwambamwamba pa dziko lonse lapansi; ndinu wokwezeka kupambana milungu yonse.
For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 Iwo amene amakonda Yehova adane ndi zoyipa pakuti Iye amayangʼanira miyoyo ya amene amamukhulupirira ndipo amawapulumutsa mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Kuwala kumafika pa anthu olungama, ndi chimwemwe kwa olungama mtima.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Kondwerani mwa Yehova Inu olungama ndipo tamandani dzina lake loyera.
Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
