1Landitseni Yehova kwa anthu oyipa;

3Iwo amanola malilime awo kukhala akuthwa ngati a njoka;

pa milomo yawo pali ululu wa mamba.

4Tetezeni Inu Yehova, kwa anthu oyipa;

ndipo anditchera misampha pa njira yanga.

6Inu Yehova, ine ndikuti, “Ndinu Mulungu wanga.”

9Mitu ya amene andizungulira

iphimbidwe ndi masautso amene milomo yawo yayambitsa.

10Makala amoto agwere pa iwo;

aponyedwe pa moto,

11Musalole kuti anthu achipongwe akhazikike mʼdziko;

choyipa chilondole anthu ankhanza.

12Ndikudziwa kuti Yehova amapereka chiweruzo cholungama kwa anthu osauka,

ndipo amateteza zolinga za anthu osowa.

13Zoonadi anthu olungama adzatamanda dzina lanu,

ndipo anthu owongoka mtima adzakhala pamaso panu.
