< Psalms 70 >
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David, in remembrance that the Lord had saved him. O God, reach out to help me. O Lord, hasten to assist me.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Pempho. Fulumirani Mulungu kundipulumutsa; Yehova bwerani msanga kudzandithandiza.
2 May those who seek my soul be confounded and awed.
Iwo amene akufunafuna moyo wanga achititsidwe manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa; onse amene akukhumba chiwonongeko changa abwezedwe mopanda ulemu.
3 May those who wish evils upon me be turned back and blush with shame. May they be turned away immediately, blushing with shame, who say to me: “Well, well.”
Onse amene akunena kwa ine kuti, “Aha, aha,” abwerere chifukwa cha manyazi awo.
4 Let all who seek you exult and rejoice in you, and let those who love your salvation forever say: “The Lord be magnified.”
Koma onse amene akufunafuna Inu akondwere ndi kusangalala mwa Inu; iwo amene amakonda chipulumutso chanu nthawi zonse anene kuti, “Mulungu akuzike!”
5 I am truly destitute and poor. O God, assist me. You are my helper and my deliverer. O Lord, do not delay.
Koma ine ndine wosauka ndi wosowa; bwerani msanga kwa ine Inu Mulungu. Inu ndinu thandizo langa ndi momboli wanga; Inu Yehova musachedwe.
