To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them .
11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
Kugalabgwe mu Ndzimu
1 Meya yangu yakalindila Ndzimu koga nge kunyalala;
jidzo langu lodwa muwuli.
2 Ndzimu woga ndiwo bgwe langu kakale jidzo langu,
ndiwo luswingo gwakandibakilila;
anditowotongo zunguzika.
3 Apa mowotatana ne nthu wamunukunda kuswikila lini kene?
Kuti mutshindike guma lakaleleka,
guma linozunguzika kene?
4 Kulangana kwabo hwupinganyidza nthu unobhudilila.
Banoshathisiwa nge manyepkhwa.
Banokombolela nge milomo yabo,
koga mukati kwabo banolonga bhiso.
5 Meya yangu yakalindila Ndzimu koga nge kunyalala,
ngobe kugalabgwe kwangu kumu Ndzimu.
6 Ndzimu woga ndiwo jidzo langu,
ndiwo luswingo gwakandibakilila; andingazunguziwe.
7 Tjidziwa kwangu ne kudziwa kwangu kumu Ndzimu.
Ndzimu i dombo ne dizhilo langu.
8 Galanibgwe muwuli misi yose imwi bathu;
dusilani Ndzimu mazwihwo
anodwa mukatikati kwe mimoyo yenyu;
Ndzimu i dizhilo ledu.
9 Ibabo bapasi banonga mafemo e nthu,
ibabo bakamilidzika banonga mawoloto asina nshingo;
ha bebigwa mu ikale banobe balelulelu;
balelulelu kupinda phepo.
10 Usigalebgwe mu kutolela,
kakale usigalebgwe mu kukwiba;
ha fumwa ipaphidzika, usibige moyo uwo muili.
11 Ndzimu wakalebeleka ka nng'ompela;
imi ha hwa ikoku kabili:
kuti simba ngele Ndzimu,
12 nenge ludo gusingazunguzike
nge gwenyu, imwi She.
Molipa mmwe ne mmwe kuyendidzana ne mishingo iye.
