3 Ndipo uphere nyumba yopandukayo fanizo, nunene nao, Atero Ambuye Yehova, Tereka mphika; uutereke, nuthire madzi m'menemo.
4 Longamo pamodzi ziwalo zace, ziwalo zonse zokoma, mwendo wathako ndi wamwamba; uudzaze ndi mafupa osankhika.
5 Tengako coweta cosankhika, nuikire mafupa mulu wa nkhuni pansi; ubwadamuke, ndi mafupa ace omwe uwaphike m'mwemo.
6 Cifukwa cace atero Ambuye Yehova, Tsoka mudzi wokhetsa mwazi, mphika m'mene muli dzimbiri, losaucokera dzimbiri lace; ucotsemo ciwalo ciwalo; sanaugwera maere.
7 Pakuti mwazi wace uli m'kati mwace anauika pathanthwe poyera, sanautsanulira panthaka kuukwirira ndi pfumbi.
