Mikitamu ku Gati

Kwa mtsogoleri wa oimba: monga mwa “Nkhunda ya pa mitengo ya thundu yakutali.” Salimo la Davide. Salimo lagolide, pamene Afilisti anamgwira iye ku Gati.

Atagwidwa ndi Afilisti ku Gati ndi kuponderezedwa tsiku lonse, Davide akupempha kuti misozi yake isonkhanitsidwe m'botolo ndi kusungidwa m'kaundula. Kawiri akubwereza mawu ake omukhazikitsa: ndimadalira Atate wanga — munthu wamba angandichite chiyani?

Chaputala 56.

Mundichitire chifundo, Atate wanga, pakuti anthu akundipondereza; tsiku lonse wondilimbana nane akundipanikiza. Adani anga akundipondereza tsiku lonse; ambiri akulimbana nane modzikuza. Pamene ndikuchita mantha, ndimadalira Inu.

Mwa Atate wanga, amene ndimatamanda mau ake—mwa Atate wanga ndimadalira; sindidzachita mantha. Kodi munthu angandichitire chiyani? Tsiku lonse amapotoza mau anga; maganizo awo onse pa ine ndi oyipa. Amagwirizana pamodzi, namabisala; amalondola mayendedwe anga, akudikira kutenga moyo wanga.

Kodi adzapulumuka chifukwa cha kuyipa kwawo? Mu mkwiyo gwetsani mitundu ya anthu, Atate wanga. Inu mwawerenga kuyendayenda kwanga; ikani misozi yanga mu botolo lanu. Kodi sizili m'buku lanu?

Pamenepo adani anga adzabwerera m'mbuyo pamene ndiitana. Ichi ndikuchidziwa: kuti Atate wanga ali kumbali yanga. Mwa Atate wanga ndimatamanda mau ake; mwa Atate wanga ndimatamanda mau ake.

Mwa Atate wanga ndimadalira; sindidzachita mantha. Kodi munthu angandichitire chiyani? Malumbiro anga kwa Inu ali pa ine, Atate wanga; ndidzapereka nsembe za kuyamika kwa Inu. Pakuti mwapulumutsa moyo wanga ku imfa—inde, mapazi anga ku kupunthwa— kuti ndiyende pamaso pa Atate wanga mu kuwala kwa moyo.
