Mphamvu yawo inali itatha. 3Ataonda ndi umphawi ndi njala, anatafuna nthaka youma mu mdima wa chipululu ndi bwinja. 4Anathyola masamba a mchere pakati pa zitsamba, ndipo mizu ya mtengo wa sache inali chakudya chawo. a a v4 Masamba a mchere ndi mitengo ya sache ndi zomera zazing'ono za m'chipululu — chakudya chomaliza cha anthu aumphawi wotheratu. 5Anathamangitsidwa kuchoka pakati pa anthu; anthu anawakuwira ngati mbala. 6Anayenera kukhala m'zigwembe za mitsinje yowuma, m'mabowo a nthaka ndi a miyala. 7Pakati pa zitsamba analira ngati abulu; pansi pa mtchire wamunga anasonkhana pamodzi. 8Mbadwa yopusa, yopanda dzina, anathamangitsidwa m'dziko.
9“Ndipo tsopano ndasanduka nyimbo yawo yachipongwe; ndine chinthu chowaseketsa kwa iwo. 10Amanyansidwa nane ndipo amakhala kutali nane; sabwezera kundilavulira malovu kumaso kwanga. 11Chifukwa Mulungu wamasula chingwe cha uta wanga nanditsitsa, iwo asiya kudziletsa konse pamaso panga. 12Kudzanja langa lamanja gulu la anthu achabe likuuka; likukankhira mapazi anga pambali ndi kundimangira njira zawo za nkhondo zowononga. 13Amaononga njira yanga; amapindula ndi tsoka langa, ndipo palibe amene amawaletsa. 14Amapita patsogolo ngati kudzera pa mpanda wobowoka waukulu; pakati pa phokoso la kugwa amathamanga kulowa. 15Zoopsa zamasulidwa kuti zilimbane nane; ulemu wanga wachotsedwa ngati ndi mphepo, ndipo chuma changa chapita ngati mtambo.
16“Ndipo tsopano moyo wanga ukutayika mkati mwanga; masiku a masautso andigwira. 17Usiku mafupa anga akubowoledwa, ndipo zowawa zondidya sizipuma. 18Ndi mphamvu yaikulu chovala changa chapotoledwa; chimandimangirira ngati khosi la malaya anga. 19Atate wathu wandiponya m'matope, ndipo ndasanduka ngati fumbi ndi phulusa.
20“Ndikulirira Inu kuti mundithandize, koma simundiyankha; ndikuimirira, koma Inu mumangondiyang'ana. 21Inu mwandisandukira mwankhanza; ndi mphamvu ya dzanja lanu mukundithira nkhondo. 22Inu mumandikweza ku mphepo ndi kundikwezetsa pa iyo; mumandigwedeza mu mkokomo wa namondwe. 23Pakuti ndikudziwa kuti mudzanditsitsira ku imfa, ku nyumba yokonzedwera onse amoyo.
24“Komatu kodi palibe munthu amene amatambasula dzanja ali pakati pa bwinja, kapena kulirira thandizo mu tsoka lake? 25Kodi sindinalire munthu amene tsiku lake linali lovuta? Kodi moyo wanga sunamve chisoni ndi osauka? 26Koma pamene ndinkayembekezera zabwino, zoipa zinadza; pamene ndinkadikira kuwala, mdima unagwa. 27Mkati mwanga mukuwira ndipo sumakhala chete; masiku a masautso andikumana. 28Ndikuyendayenda nditada, koma osati ndi dzuwa; ndikuimirira mu msonkhano ndi kulirira thandizo. 29Ndasanduka m'bale wa nkhandwe ndi mnzake wa nthiwatiwa. 30Khungu langa likuda ndipo likusendeka kundichoka, ndipo mafupa anga akupya ndi kutentha. 31Zeze wanga wasandulika zoimba za maliro, ndipo chitoliro changa chasanduka mawu a kulira.”
