Atate wanga, Mbusa wanga
Salmo la Davide.
Davide m'busa akulemba za kulereredwa ndi Atate: kudyetsedwa, kumwetsedwa, kubwezedwa pamene moyo wake wafooka, kuyenda m'chigwa cha mthunzi waukulu wopanda mantha, kenako kukhazikitsidwa pa gome loyalidwa pamaso pa adani ake. Ubwino sumangomutsatira — umamuthamangitsa.
23 1Atate wanga ndiye mbusa wanga; sindisowa kanthu. 2Pa msipu wobiriwira amandigoneka; m'mbali mwa madzi odekha amanditsogolera. 3Amatsitsimutsa moyo wanga; amanditsogolera m'njira za chilungamo chifukwa cha dzina lake. 4Ngakhale ndiyenda m'chigwa cha mthunzi wa imfa, sindidzaopa choipa, pakuti Inu muli ndi ine; ndodo yanu ndi ndonga yanu zimanditonthoza. 5Mumandikonzera gome pamaso pa adani anga; mumadzoza mutu wanga ndi mafuta; chikho changa chasefukira. 6Zoonadi, ubwino ndi chifundo chosatha zidzanditsata masiku onse a moyo wanga, ndipo ndidzakhala m'nyumba ya Atate wanga nthawi zonse.
