Kwa mtsogoleri wa oimba. Salimo la Davide, mtumiki wa Atate wathu, amene anaimbira Atate wathu mau awa pa tsiku limene anapulumutsidwa kwa adani ake onse ndi m'manja mwa Sauli.

Atapulumutsidwa kwa Sauli, Davide akufotokoza nkhani yonse. Ankamira m'zingwe za imfa, ndipo kulira kwake kunatsitsa Atate wake kuchokera kumwamba pa mphepo, mu utsi ndi matalala, kuti amutulutse m'madzi akuya ndi kumuika pamalo okwezeka.

Chaputala 18.

Ndimakukondani, Atate wanga, mphamvu yanga. Atate wanga ndiye thanthwe langa ndi linga langa ndi mpulumutsi wanga; Atate wanga, thanthwe langa, mmene ndimathawiramo, chishango changa, ndi mphamvu yanga yopulumutsa, nsanja yanga yachitetezo. Ndikuyitana Atate wanga, amene ayenera kutamandidwa, ndipo ndapulumutsidwa kwa adani anga.

Zingwe za imfa zinandizungulira; mafunde a chiwonongeko anandisefukira. Zingwe za manda zinandimanga; misampha ya imfa inandikumana nane. Mu masautso anga ndinayitana Atate wanga; kwa Atate wanga ndinalirira thandizo. Kuchokera m'kachisi wake anamva mau anga, ndipo kulira kwanga kunamfika m'makutu mwake.

Ndipo dziko lapansi linagwedezeka ndi kugwedezeka; maziko a mapiri ananjenjemera ndi kunthunthumira, chifukwa anakwiya. Utsi unatuluka m'mphuno mwake, ndi moto wonyeketsa m'kamwa mwake; makala oyaka anayakira kuchokera mwa Iye. Anakhotetsa miyamba natsika; mdima wandiweyani unali pansi pa mapazi ake. Anakwera pa kerubi nauluka; anawuluka pa mapiko a mphepo. Anapanga mdima kukhala chofunda chake, chophimba chake chomuzungulira—madzi amdima ndi mitambo yakuda ya mlengalenga. Kuchokera mu kuwala kumene kunali pamaso pake, mitambo yake inadutsa, pamodzi ndi matalala ndi makala amoto. Atate wanga anaomba bingu kumwamba, ndipo Wammwambamwamba anakweza mau ake, pamodzi ndi matalala ndi makala amoto. Anaponya mivi yake nawabalalitsa; anaponya mphezi nawagonjetsa. Ndipo njira za m'nyanja zinaonekera, ndipo maziko a dziko lapansi anaonekera poyera chifukwa cha kudzudzula kwanu, Atate wanga, chifukwa cha kuuzira kwa mpweya wa m'mphuno mwanu.

Anatambalitsa dzanja lake kuchokera kumwamba nandigwira ine; anandivuula m'madzi amphamvu. Anandipulumutsa kwa mdani wanga wamphamvu, kwa iwo amene anandida, pakuti anali amphamvu kuposa ine. Anandiwukira pa tsiku la tsoka langa, koma Atate wanga anali chithandizo changa. Anandibweretsa kumalo otakasuka; anandipulumutsa, chifukwa anakondwera nane.

Atate wanga anandichitira monga mwa chilungamo changa; monga mwa kuyera kwa manja anga anandipatsa mphotho. Pakuti ndasunga njira za Atate wanga, ndipo sindinafulatire Atate wanga mwa kuchita zoipa. Pakuti malamulo ake onse anali pamaso panga, ndipo sindinataye malangizo ake. Ndinali wopanda chilema pamaso pake, ndipo ndinadziteteza ku kuchita zolakwa. Choncho Atate wanga wandipatsa mphotho monga mwa chilungamo changa, monga mwa kuyera kwa manja anga pamaso pake.

Kwa okhulupirika mumadzionetsa wokhulupirika; kwa wopanda chilema mumadzionetsa wopanda chilema; kwa oyera mtima mumadzionetsa woyera, koma kwa achinyengo mumadzionetsa wochenjera. Pakuti mumapulumutsa anthu odzichepetsa, koma maso odzikuza mumawatsitsa. Pakuti ndinu amene mumayatsa nyale yanga; Atate wanga amawalitsa mdima wanga. Pakuti mwa inu nditha kuthamangira gulu la ankhondo, ndipo mwa Atate wanga nditha kudumpha khoma.

Kunena za Atate wanga—njira yake ndi yangwiro; mau a Atate wanga ndi oona; Iye ndiye chishango kwa onse amene amathawira kwa Iye. Pakuti ndani ndiye Atate wathu koma Atate wanga? Ndipo ndani ndiye thanthwe koma Atate wathu? Ndi Atate wanga amene amandiveka mphamvu, nasandutsa njira yanga kukhala yopanda chilema. Amasandutsa mapazi anga kukhala ngati mapazi a mphoyo nandikhazika motetezeka pa malo okwera. Amaphunzitsa manja anga kuchita nkhondo, kotero kuti mikono yanga ingathe kukoka uta wamkuwa. Mwandipatsa chishango cha chipulumutso chanu; dzanja lanu lamanja limandichirikiza, ndipo kufatsa kwanu kwandikuza. Mumapanga malo otakasuka kumapazi anga pansi panga, ndipo mapazi anga sateleka.

Ndinathamangitsa adani anga ndi kuwapeza; sindinabwerere mpaka atatheratu. Ndinawakantha kotero kuti sanathe kudzuka; anagwa pansi pa mapazi anga. Munandiveka mphamvu za nkhondo; munagwetsa pansi pa mapazi anga iwo amene anandiwukira. Munachititsa adani anga kundifulatira, ndipo iwo amene anandida ndinawawononga. Analirira thandizo, koma panalibe wowapulumutsa; analirira kwa Atate wanga, koma sanawayankhe. Ndinawapera ngati fumbi pamaso pa mphepo; ndinawakhuthula ngati matope a m'misewu. Munandipulumutsa ku mikangano ya anthu; munandisandutsa mutu wa mitundu ya anthu; anthu amene sindinawadziwe tsopano akunditumikira. Akangondimva, amandimvera; alendo amadza kwa ine mogwada. Alendo amataya mtima, ndipo amatuluka m'malinga awo akunjenjemera.

Atate wanga ali moyo! Alemekezeke thanthwe langa, ndipo akuzidwe Atate amene amandipulumutsa, Atate amene amandiweruzira mwachilungamo nagonjetsa mitundu ya anthu pansi panga, amene anandipulumutsa kwa adani anga. Inde, munandikweza pamwamba pa iwo amene anandiwukira; munandipulumutsa kwa munthu wankhanza. Chifukwa cha ichi ndidzakutamandani, Atate wanga, pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ndipo ndidzaimba matamando kwa dzina lanu.

Amapereka zipambano zazikulu kwa mfumu yake, ndipo amaonetsa chikondi cha pangano kwa wodzozedwa wake, kwa Davide ndi mbewu yake kwamuyaya.
