Kulira kwa Davide mu Mdima
Kwa mtsogoleri wa oimba; ndi zoimbira za zingwe, monga mwa sheminiti. Salimo la Davide.
Davide akudwala ndipo akunjenjemera ndi mantha, watopa ndi kunyowetsa bedi lake ndi misozi usiku wonse, ndipo akufunsa kuti mpaka liti. Akutsutsa kuti akufa sangatamande. Kenako pemphero likusintha: Atate wake wamva kulira kwake, ndipo akuthamangitsa adani ake.
6 1Atate wanga, musandidzudzule mu mkwiyo wanu, kapena kundilanga mu ukali wanu. 2Mundichitire chisomo, Atate wanga, pakuti ndafooka; mundichiritse, Atate wanga, pakuti mafupa anga akunjenjemera ndi mantha.
3Moyo wanga ukunjenjemera ndi mantha. Koma Inu, Atate wanga—kufikira liti? 4Tembenukirani kwa ine, Atate wanga; pulumutsani moyo wanga. Mundipulumutse chifukwa cha chikondi chanu cha pangano.
5Pakuti mu imfa mulibe kukumbukira Inu; m'manda, ndani adzakutamandani?
6Ndatopa ndi kubuula kwanga. Usiku wonse ndisefukitsa bedi langa ndi misozi; ndilinyowetsa ndi kulira kwanga.
7Maso anga atopa ndi chisoni; akulephera chifukwa cha adani anga onse. 8Chokani kwa ine, inu nonse amene mumachita zoyipa, pakuti Atate wanga wamva mau a kulira kwanga. 9Atate wanga wamva kupempha kwanga chifundo; Atate wanga avomera pemphero langa. 10Adani anga onse adzachita manyazi ndi kunjenjemera ndi mantha; adzabwerera m'mbuyo, nachititsidwa manyazi mwadzidzidzi.
