Mapisarema 16
1 Mikitami raDhavhidhi. Ndichengetedzei, imi Mwari, nokuti ndinovanda mamuri.
Mikitamu ya Davide. Ndisungeni Inu Mulungu, pakuti ine ndimathawira kwa Inu.
2 Ndakati kuna Jehovha, “Ndimi Ishe wangu; kunze kwenyu handina chinhu chakanaka.”
Ndinati kwa Yehova, “Inu ndinu Ambuye anga; popanda Inu, ine ndilibe chinthu chinanso chabwino.”
3 Kana vari vatsvene vari panyika, ndivo vakaisvonaka vandinofarira chose.
Kunena za oyera mtima amene ali pa dziko, amenewa ndi olemekezeka, amene ndimakondwera nawo.
4 Kuchema kuchawedzerwa, kwaavo vanomhanyira vamwe vamwari. Handichazodiri zvipiriso zvavo zveropa zvinodururwa kana kuisa mazita avo pamiromo yangu.
Anthu amene amathamangira kwa milungu ina mavuto awo adzachulukadi. Ine sindidzathira nawo nsembe zawo zamagazi kapena kutchula mayina awo ndi pakamwa panga.
5 Jehovha, makandigovera mugove wangu nomukombe wangu; mukaita kuti mugove wangu uchengetedzeke.
Yehova, Inu mwandipatsa cholowa changa ndi chikho changa; mwateteza kolimba gawo langa.
6 Ndakayererwa miganhu panzvimbo yakanaka; zvirokwazvo ndine nhaka inofadza.
Malire a malo anga akhala pabwino; ndithudi, ine ndili cholowa chokondweretsa kwambiri.
7 Ndicharumbidza Jehovha, anondipa zano; kunyange usiku mwoyo wangu unondirayira.
Ine ndidzatamanda Yehova amene amandipatsa uphungu; ngakhale usiku mtima wanga umandilangiza.
8 Ndakaisa Jehovha pamberi pangu nguva dzose. Nokuti ari kurudyi rwangu, handingatongozungunuswi.
Ndayika Yehova patsogolo panga nthawi zonse. Popeza Iyeyo ali kudzanja langa lamanja, sindidzagwedezeka.
9 Naizvozvo mwoyo wangu unofara uye rurimi rwangu runopururudza; muviri wanguwo uchazorora zvakanaka,
Choncho mtima wanga ndi wosangalala ndipo pakamwa panga pakukondwera; thupi langanso lidzakhala pabwino,
chifukwa Inu simudzandisiya ku manda, simudzalola kuti woyera wanu avunde. (Sheol h7585)
11 Makandizivisa nzira youpenyu; muchandizadza nomufaro uri pamberi penyu, nezvinofadza zvisingaperi muruoko rwenyu rworudyi.
Inu mwandidziwitsa njira ya moyo; mudzandidzaza ndi chimwemwe pamaso panu, ndidzasangalala mpaka muyaya pa dzanja lanu lamanja.
