< Psalmorum 140 >

1 In finem. Psalmus David. [Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo; a viro iniquo eripe me.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Landitseni Yehova kwa anthu oyipa; tetezeni kwa anthu ankhanza,
2 Qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde, tota die constituebant prælia.
amene mu mtima mwawo amakonza zinthu zoyipa ndi kuyambitsa nkhondo tsiku lililonse.
3 Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis; venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum.
Iwo amanola malilime awo kukhala akuthwa ngati a njoka; pa milomo yawo pali ululu wa mamba. (Sela)
4 Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris, et ab hominibus iniquis eripe me. Qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos:
Tetezeni Inu Yehova, kwa anthu oyipa; tchinjirizeni kwa anthu ankhanza amene amakonza zokola mapazi anga.
5 absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi. Et funes extenderunt in laqueum; juxta iter, scandalum posuerunt mihi.
Anthu odzikuza anditchera msampha mobisika; iwo atchera zingwe za maukonde awo ndipo anditchera misampha pa njira yanga. (Sela)
6 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu; exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ.
Inu Yehova, ine ndikuti, “Ndinu Mulungu wanga.” Imvani kupempha kwanga Yehova.
7 Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meæ, obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli.
Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, Mpulumutsi wanga wamphamvu, mumateteza mutu wanga tsiku lankhondo.
8 Ne tradas me, Domine, a desiderio meo peccatori: cogitaverunt contra me; ne derelinquas me, ne forte exaltentur.
Musawapatse anthu oyipa zokhumba zawo, Inu Yehova; musalole kuti zokonza zawo zitheke, mwina iwo adzayamba kunyada. (Sela)
9 Caput circuitus eorum: labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos.
Mitu ya amene andizungulira iphimbidwe ndi masautso amene milomo yawo yayambitsa.
10 Cadent super eos carbones; in ignem dejicies eos: in miseriis non subsistent.
Makala amoto agwere pa iwo; aponyedwe pa moto, mʼmaenje amatope, asatulukemonso.
11 Vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra; virum injustum mala capient in interitu.
Musalole kuti anthu achipongwe akhazikike mʼdziko; choyipa chilondole anthu ankhanza.
12 Cognovi quia faciet Dominus judicium inopis, et vindictam pauperum.
Ndikudziwa kuti Yehova amapereka chiweruzo cholungama kwa anthu osauka, ndipo amateteza zolinga za anthu osowa.
13 Verumtamen justi confitebuntur nomini tuo, et habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo.]
Zoonadi anthu olungama adzatamanda dzina lanu, ndipo anthu owongoka mtima adzakhala pamaso panu.
