Salimo 143
Salimo la Davide.
1 Yehova imvani pemphero langa,
mvetserani kulira kwanga kopempha chifundo;
mwa kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chilungamo chanu
bwerani kudzandithandiza.
2 Musazenge mlandu mtumiki wanu,
pakuti palibe munthu wamoyo amene ndi wolungama pamaso panu.
3 Mdani akundithamangitsa,
iye wandipondereza pansi;
wachititsa kuti ndikhale mu mdima
ngati munthu amene anafa kale.
4 Choncho mzimu wanga ukufowoka mʼkati mwanga;
mʼkati mwanga, mtima wanga uli ndi nkhawa.
5 Ndimakumbukira masiku amakedzana;
ndimalingalira za ntchito yanu yonse,
ndimaganizira zimene manja anu anachita.
6 Ndatambalitsa manja anga kwa Inu;
moyo wanga uli ndi ludzu lofuna Inu monga nthaka yowuma.
Sela
7 Yehova ndiyankheni msanga;
mzimu wanga ukufowoka.
Musandibisire nkhope yanu,
mwina ndidzakhala ngati iwo amene atsikira ku dzenje.
8 Lolani kuti mmawa ubweretse mawu achikondi chanu chosasinthika,
pakuti ine ndimadalira Inu.
Mundisonyeze njira yoti ndiyendemo,
pakuti kwa Inu nditukulira moyo wanga.
9 Pulumutseni kwa adani anga, Inu Yehova,
pakuti ndimabisala mwa Inu.
10 Phunzitseni kuchita chifuniro chanu,
popeza ndinu Mulungu wanga;
Mzimu wanu wabwino unditsogolere
pa njira yanu yosalala.
11 Sungani moyo wanga Inu Yehova chifukwa cha dzina lanu;
mwa chilungamo chanu tulutseni mʼmasautso anga.
12 Mwa chikondi chanu chosasinthika khalitsani chete adani anga;
wonongani adani anga,
pakuti ndine mtumiki wanu.
