Mtima Wanga Ndi Wokhazikika
Nyimbo. Salmo la Davide.
Lasokedwa kuchokera ku masalimo awiri akale a Davide: nyimbo ya mmawa imene imadzutsa mʼbandakucha, kenako kudzitama kwakale kwa Atate wathu kwa umwini pa Sekemu, Giliyadi ndi Edomu. Pakati pake pali mawu odekha akuti chipulumutso cha munthu nʼchachabe, ndi pempho lofuna thandizo lenileni.
108 1Mtima wanga ndi wokhazikika, Atate wanga; ndidzaimba ndi kuyimba nyimbo ndi zonse zimene ndili. 2Dzukani, zeze ndi pangwe! Ndidzadzutsa m'bandakucha. 3Ndidzakuyamikani pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, Atate wanga; ndidzakuyimbirani nyimbo pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. 4Pakuti chifundo chanu cha pangano nchachikulu, choposa kumwamba, ndipo kukhulupirika kwanu kumafika mpaka mitambo.
5Kwezekani, Atate wanga, kuposa kumwamba, ndipo ulemerero wanu ukhale pa dziko lonse lapansi. 6Tipulumutseni ndi dzanja lanu lamanja ndipo mundiyankhe, kuti amene mumawakonda apulumutsidwe.
7Atate wathu wayankhula m'chiyero chake: “Mwachipambano ndidzagawa Sekemu ndi kuyeza Chigwa cha Sukoti. 8Giliyadi ndi wanga, Manase ndi wanga; Efuraimu ndiye chipewa changa chankhondo, Yuda ndodo yanga yaufumu.
9Mowabu ndiye mbale yanga yosambira; pa Edomu ndiponya nsapato yanga; pa Filisitiya ndifuula mwachipambano.”
10Ndani adzandifikitsa ku mzinda wa malinga? Ndani adzanditsogolera ku Edomu? 11Kodi si Inu, Atate wathu, amene munatikana, ndipo simupitanso ndi magulu athu ankhondo? 12Tithandizeni polimbana ndi mdani, pakuti chipulumutso cha anthu nchachabe. 13Ndi Atate wathu tidzapambana, ndipo Iye adzapondereza adani athu.
