Salimo 17:1-15
Lurombo lwa Davide.
17 A Yehova, pulikani apo nkhuŵeya kuti nisange urunji.Pulikani kulira kwane kupempha wovwiri.Tegherezgani lurombo lwane lwambura upusikizgi.+
2 Munidumulire mulandu wane mu urunji.+Maso ghinu ghawone icho ntchakwenelera.
3 Mwasanda mtima wane, mwaniskora usiku,+Mwaniyenga,+Musangenge kuti nindaghanaghanepo chinthu chiheni,Ndipo mulomo wane undaswe dango.
4 Kweniso pa vyakuchita vya ŵanthu,Nkhupulikira mazgu gha milomo yinu, nkhugega nthowa za wakupoka vyaŵene.+
5 Mphanyi nalutilira kwenda mu nthowa zinu,Mwakuti malundi ghane ghaleke kukhuŵara.+
6 Nkhumuchemani, A Chiuta, chifukwa munizgorenge.+
Thyani khutu linu kwa ine. Pulikani mazgu ghane.+
7 Longorani lusungu* lwinu mu nthowa yakuzizwiska,+Mwe Mponoski wa awo ŵali ku woko linu lamalyero,Kubisama ku awo ŵakumugalukirani.
8 Nisungilirani nga ni mboni ya jiso linu,+Nibisani mu mfwiri wa mapapindo ghinu.+
9 Nisungilirani ku ŵaheni awo ŵakuniwukira,Ku ŵalwani ŵane awo ŵakunizingilizga.+
10 Ŵakulungara.*Ŵakuyowoya mwakujikuzga na mulomo wawo.
11 Sono ŵakutifinyilizga.+Ŵakupenja m’pata kuti ŵatiwiskire pasi.
12 Wali nga ni nkhalamu iyo yanozgeka kutwazura nyama,Nga ni mwana wa nkhalamu uyo wakukhazga nyama.
13 Wukani, A Yehova, kumanani nayo+ na kumuwiskira pasi.Nithaskani kwa muheni na lupanga lwinu,
14 Nithaskani na woko linu, A Yehova,Ku ŵanthu ŵa charu ichi,* awo chigaŵa chawo chili mu umoyo uno,+Awo mukuŵazuzga na vinthu viwemi ivyo mukupeleka,+Na awo ŵakusidira chiharo ŵana ŵawo ŵanandi.
15 Kweni ine, niwonenge chisko chinu mu urunji.Nkhukhorwa kuwuka pamaso pinu.*+
