Salimo la Davide.
Akusakidwa ndi kuponderezedwa pansi, apempha kuti asaweruzidwe, popeza palibe wamoyo aliyense amene ali wolungama pamaso pa Atate ake. Akumbukira ntchito zakale kuti apirire masiku ano, ndipo apempha zinthu ziwiri: mawu m'mawa, ndi nthaka yosalala.
143 1Atate wanga, imvani pemphero langa; mverani kudandaula kwanga kopempha chifundo; ndiyankheni mwa kukhulupirika kwanu, mwa chilungamo chanu. 2Musamuweruze mtumiki wanu, pakuti palibe wamoyo amene ali wolungama pamaso panu. a a v2 Paulo anagwiritsa ntchito mawu awa pophunzitsa kuti palibe munthu amene ayesedwa wolungama pamaso pa Atate wathu mwa zochita zake — koma mwa kukhulupirira Yesu. 3Pakuti mdani walondola moyo wanga; waphwanyira moyo wanga pansi; wandikhalitsa mu mdima ngati amene anafa kale. 4Mzimu wanga ukukomoka mkati mwanga; mtima wanga mkati mwanga wazizwa. 5Ndikukumbukira masiku akale; ndikulingalira zonse zimene munachita; ndikuganizira ntchito ya manja anu. 6Ndatambasula manja anga kwa Inu; moyo wanga uli ndi ludzu la Inu ngati nthaka youma.
7Ndiyankheni msanga, Atate wanga; mzimu wanga watha. Musandibisire nkhope yanu, kuopa kuti ndidzakhala ngati amene akutsikira kudzenje. 8Mundimveretse za chikondi chanu cha pangano m'mawa, pakuti ndimadalira Inu. Ndionetseni njira imene ndiyenera kuyendamo, pakuti ndikukweza moyo wanga kwa Inu. 9Ndipulumutseni kwa adani anga, Atate wanga; ndathawira kwa Inu kuti mundibise. 10Ndiphunzitseni kuchita chifuniro chanu, pakuti Inu ndinu Atate wanga; Mzimu wanu wabwino unditsogolere pa nthaka yosalala. 11Chifukwa cha dzina lanu, Atate wanga, sungani moyo wanga; mwa chilungamo chanu tulutsani moyo wanga mu mavuto. 12Ndipo mwa chikondi chanu cha pangano mudzadula adani anga ndi kuwononga onse odana ndi moyo wanga, pakuti ndine mtumiki wanu.
