³Ndikanangodziwa kumene ndikanamupeza Mulungu;

⁴Ndikanafotokoza mlandu wanga pamaso pake

⁵Ndikanadziwa mawu amene Iye akanandiyankha,

⁶Kodi Iye akanalimbana nane mwa mphamvu zake zazikulu?

⁷Kumeneko munthu wolungama akanafotokoza mlandu wake pamaso pake,

⁸“Taonani, ndikapita kummawa, Iye kulibe kumeneko,

⁹Akamagwira ntchito kumpoto, sindimuona kumeneko

¹⁰Koma Iye amadziwa mmene ndimayendera;

¹²Sindinapatuke kusiya malamulo ochokera pakamwa pake;

¹³“Koma Iyeyo ndi wosasinthika, ndipo ndani angatsutsane naye?

¹⁵Nʼchifukwa chake ndikuchita mantha kwambiri pamaso pake;

¹⁶Mulungu walefula mtima wanga;

¹⁷Komatu sindinachititsidwe mantha ndi mdima,
