Amahubo 23

1 INkosi ingumelusi wami, kangiyikuswela.

Salimo la Davide. Yehova ndiye mʼbusa wanga, sindidzasowa kanthu.

2 Iyangilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza; iyangiholela emanzini okuphumula.

Amandigoneka pa msipu wobiriwira, amanditsogolera ku madzi akumwa abwino,

3 Ibuyisa umphefumulo wami, ingiholele endleleni zokulunga ngenxa yebizo layo.

amatsitsimutsa moyo wanga. Amanditsogolera mʼnjira zachilungamo chifukwa cha dzina lake.

4 Yebo, loba ngihamba esihotsheni sethunzi lokufa, kangiyikwesaba okubi, ngoba wena ulami; intonga yakho lodondolo lwakho, khona kuyangiduduza.

Ngakhale ndiyende mʼchigwa cha mdima wakuda bii, sindidzaopa choyipa, pakuti Inu muli ndi ine; chibonga chanu ndi ndodo yanu zimanditonthoza.

5 Uyalungisa itafula phambi kwami ngaphambi kwezitha zami; ugcoba ikhanda lami ngamafutha, inkezo yami iyaphuphuma.

Mumandikonzera chakudya adani anga akuona. Mumadzoza mutu wanga ndi mafuta; chikho changa chimasefukira.

6 Isibili okuhle lesihawu kuzangilandela insuku zonke zempilo yami; njalo ngizahlala endlini yeNkosi kuze kube nininini.

Zoonadi, zokoma ndi chikondi chosasinthika zidzanditsata masiku onse a moyo wanga, ndipo ndidzakhala mʼNyumba ya Yehova kwamuyaya.
