Matamando a Davide a Mtima Wonse
Salmo la Davide.
Davide akuthokoza Atate wake chifukwa choyankha tsiku limene anaitana ndi kumulimbitsa mtima. Chimene akuona pakatikati ndi chakuti Iye amakonda chinthu chimodzi kuposa china: ngakhale ali wokwezeka, amayang'ana onyozeka ndipo amaika odzikuza patali. Iye amamaliza zimene wayamba m'moyo wa munthu.
138 1Ndidzakutamandani ndi mtima wanga wonse; pamaso pa milungu ndidzayimba matamando anu. 2Ndidzagwada kuloza ku kachisi wanu woyera, ndipo ndidzayamika dzina lanu chifukwa cha chikondi chanu cha pangano ndi kukhulupirika kwanu, pakuti mwakweza mau anu kuposa dzina lanu lonse. 3Pa tsiku limene ndinayitana, munandiyankha; munandilimbitsa mtima, ndi mphamvu mu moyo wanga.
4Mafumu onse a dziko lapansi adzakutamandani, Atate wanga, pakuti amva mau a pakamwa panu. 5Adzayimba za njira za Atate wathu, pakuti ulemerero wa Atate wathu ndi waukulu. 6Ngakhale Atate wathu ndi wokwezeka, amayang'ana odzichepetsa, koma amadziwa odzikuza ali kutali.
7Ngakhale ndiyenda pakati pa mavuto, Inu musunga moyo wanga; mutambasula dzanja lanu kulimbana ndi mkwiyo wa adani anga, ndipo dzanja lanu lamanja limandipulumutsa. 8Atate wathu adzakwaniritsa cholinga chake pa ine; chikondi chanu cha pangano, Atate wanga, nchosatha. Musasiye ntchito ya manja anu.
