Ndikukweza Moyo Wanga Kwa Inu

Salimo la Davide.

Davide akupempha kuti aphunzitsidwe, osati kungopulumutsidwa — ndiwonetseni njira zanu. Akubweretsa adani ake ndi machimo a ubwana wake, ndipo akupempha kuti palibe chimodzi mwa izo chimene chimufotokoze. Atate wathu amagawana pangano lake ngati bwenzi ndi iwo amene amamuopa.

Chaputala 25.

Kwa Inu, Atate wanga, ndikweza moyo wanga.

Atate wanga, ndimadalira Inu; musalole kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi; musalole kuti adani anga andipambane. Ndithudi, palibe amene adikira Inu adzachititsidwa manyazi; amene achita chiwembu popanda chifukwa adzachititsidwa manyazi.

Ndionetseni njira zanu, Atate wanga; ndiphunzitseni mayendedwe anu. Munditsogolere m'choonadi chanu ndi kundiphunzitsa, pakuti Inu ndinu Atate wathu, chipulumutso changa; ndimadikira Inu tsiku lonse. Kumbukirani chifundo chanu chachikondi, Atate wanga, ndi chikondi chanu cha pangano, pakuti zilipo kuyambira kalekale. Musakumbukire machimo a unyamata wanga kapena kuwukira kwanga; mundikumbukire molingana ndi chikondi chanu cha pangano, chifukwa cha ukoma wanu, Atate wanga.

Atate wathu ndi wabwino ndi wolungama; chifukwa chake amalangiza ochimwa njira. Amatsogolera odzichepetsa m'chilungamo, ndi kuphunzitsa odzichepetsa njira yake. Njira zonse za Atate wathu ndi chikondi chokhulupirika ndi kukhulupirika kwa amene asunga pangano lake ndi maumboni ake.

Chifukwa cha dzina lanu, Atate wanga, khululukireni tchimo langa, pakuti ndi lalikulu. Kodi ndani munthu amene amaopa Atate wathu? Adzamulangiza njira imene ayenera kusankha. Moyo wake udzakhala pa mtendere, ndipo ana ake adzalandira dziko. Ubwenzi wapamtima wa Atate wathu uli ndi amene amamuopa, ndipo amawadziwitsa pangano lake. Maso anga amakhala pa Atate wathu nthawi zonse, pakuti adzamasula mapazi anga mu ukonde.

Tembenukirani kwa ine ndi kundikomera mtima, pakuti ndine wekhawekha ndi wozunzika. Mavuto a mtima wanga achuluka; munditulutse m'masautso anga. Yang'anani masautso anga ndi zovuta zanga, ndipo chotsani machimo anga onse. Onani adani anga, pakuti ndi ambiri, ndipo amandida ndi chidani choopsa.

Tetezani moyo wanga ndi kundipulumutsa; musalole kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi, pakuti ndimathawira kwa Inu. Kuona mtima ndi kulungama zinditeteze, pakuti ndimadikira Inu.

Womborani Israyeli, Atate wathu, m'masautso ake onse.
