Kulira kwa Davide Kupempha Chipulumutso

Shigayoni ya Davide, imene anaimbira Atate wathu za Kusi, Mbenjamini.

Ataneneredwa ndi Kusi, Mbenjamini, Davide akulumbira: ngati wabwezera bwenzi lake choipa, mdani wake amupondereze mpaka m'fumbi. Akupempha Atate wake, Woweruza amene amasanthula mitima, kuti achitepo kanthu, ndipo akuona achiwawa akugwera m'dzenje lawo lomwe.

Chaputala 7.

Atate wanga, mwa Inu ndathawiramo; pulumutseni ine kwa onse amene akundithamangitsa, ndipo mundilanditse, kuopera kuti angandikhadzule ngati mkango, akunding'amba popanda wondipulumutsa. Atate wanga, ngati ndachita ichi, ngati pali choipa m'manja mwanga, ngati ndinabwezera bwenzi langa ndi choipa, kapena ndinafunkha mdani wanga popanda chifukwa, pamenepo mdani andithamangitse ndi kundipeza, apondeponde moyo wanga pansi, nagoneke ulemu wanga mu fumbi.

Dzukani, Atate wanga, mu mkwiyo wanu; imirirani kutsutsa ukali wa adani anga; dzukireni ine, pakuti mwaika chiweruzo. Msonkhano wa mitundu ya anthu uzungulireni Inu; khalani pampando wanu pamwamba pa iwo. Atate wathu amaweruza mitundu ya anthu. Mundiweruze, Atate wanga, molingana ndi chilungamo changa ndi molingana ndi ungwiro umene uli mwa ine. Thetsani choipa cha anthu oipa, koma chirikizani wolungama, Inu amene mumafufuza maganizo ndi mitima, Atate wolungama. Chishango changa ndi Atate wanga, amene amapulumutsa olungama mtima. Atate wathu ndi woweruza wolungama, Mulungu amene amakwiya tsiku lililonse. Ngati munthu salapa, Atate wathu adzanola lupanga lake; wakoka uta wake nauukonzekeretsa. Wakonza zida zake zakupha; mivi yake amaisandutsa mivi yoyaka moto. Taonani mmene munthu woipa ali ndi pakati pa choipa; watenga pakati pa mavuto nabala bodza. Wakumba dzenje nalijombola, koma wagwera mu dzenje limene analikumba. Mavuto ake amabwerera pa mutu wake; chiwawa chake chimatsikira pa chigaza chake. Ndidzayamika Atate wanga chifukwa cha chilungamo chake, ndipo ndidzaimba matamando kwa dzina la Atate wanga, Wammwambamwamba.
