1 Usacitire nsanje anthu oipa, Ngakhale kufuna kukhala nao;
2 Pakuti mtima wao ulingalira za cionongeko;Milomo yao ilankhula za mphulupulu.
3 Nzeru imangitsa nyumba;Luntha liikhazikitsa.
4 Kudziwa kudzaza zipinda zaceNdi cuma conse cofunika ca mtengo wace.
5 Mwamuna wanzeru ngwamphamvu;Munthu wodziwa ankabe nalimba.
6 Pakuti udzaponya nkhondo yako ndi upo,Ndi kupulumuka pocuruka aphungu,
7 Nzeru itarikira citsiru;Satsegula pakamwa kubwalo.
8 Wolingalira zakucita zoipaAnthu adzamcha waciwembu.
9 Maganizo opusa ndiwo cimo;Wonyoza anyansa anthu.
10 Ukalefuka tsiku la tsokaMphamvu yako icepa.
11 Omwe atengedwa kuti akafe, uwapulumutse;Omwe ati aphedwe, usaleke kuwalanditsa.
12 Ukanena, Taonani, sitinadziwa cimeneci;Kodi woyesa mitima sacizindikira ici?Ndi wosunga moyo wako kodi sacidziwa?Ndipo kodi sabwezera munthu yense monga mwa macitidwe ace?
13 Mwananga, idya uci pakuti ngwabwino,Ndi cisa cace citsekemera m'kamwamwako;
14 Potero udzadziwa kuti nzeru iri yotero m'moyo wako;Ngati waipeza padzakhala mphotho,Ndipo ciyembekezo cako sicidzalephereka.
15 Usabisalire, woipa iwe, pomanga wolungama;Usapasule popuma iyepo.
16 Pakuti wolungama amagwa kasanu ndi kawiri, nanyamukanso;Koma oipa akhumudwa pomfikira tsoka.
17 Usakondwere pakugwa mdani wako;Mtima wako usasekere pokhumudwa iye;
18 Kuti Yehova angaone kukondwa kwako, ndi kukuyesa koipa,Ndi kuleka kumkwiyira.
19 Usabvutike mtima cifukwa ca ocita zoipa;Ngakhale kucitira nsanje amphulupulu;
20 Pakuti woipayo sadzalandira mphotho;Nyali ya amphulupulu idzazima.
21 Mwananga, opa Yehova ndi mfumu yomwe,Osadudukira anthu osinthasintha.
22 Pakuti tsoka lao lidzaoneka modzidzimuka;Ndipo ndani adziwa cionongeko ca zaka zao?
23 Izinso ziri za anzeru.Poweruza cetera siliri labwino.
24 Wonenakwa woipa, Wolungama iwe;Magulu a anthu adzamtemberera, mitundu ya anthu idzamkwiyira,
25 Omwe amdzudzula adzasekera,Nadzadalitsika ndithu.
26 Wobwezera mau oongokaApsompsona milomo.
27 Longosola nchito yako panjapo, nuikonzeretu kumunda;Pambuyo pace ndi kumanga nyumba yako.
28 Usacitire mnzako umboni womtsutsa opanda cifukwa;Kodi udzanyenga ndi milomo yako?
29 Usanene, Ndidzamcitira zomwezo anandicitira ine;Ndidzabwereza munthuyo monga mwa macitidwe ace.
30 Ndinapita pa munda wa wolesi,Polima mphesa munthu wosowa nzeru.
31 Taonani, ponsepo panamera minga,Ndi kuwirirapo khwisa;Chinga lace lamiyala ndi kupasuka.
32 Pamenepo ndinayang'ana ndi kuganizira,Ndinaona ndi kulandira mwambo.
33 Tulo tapang'ono, kungoodzera pang'ono,Kungomanga manja pang'ono m'kugona,
34 Ndipo umphawi wako udzafika ngati mbala;Ndi kusauka kwako ngati munthu wacikopa.
