Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero

⁵ “Mizimu ya anthu akufa ikunjenjemera pansi pa madzi,
    ndi zonse zokhala mʼmadzimo.
⁶ Dziko la anthu akufa ndi lapululu pamaso pa Mulungu;
    chiwonongeko ndi chosaphimbidwa.
⁷ Mulungu anayala thambo la kumpoto pa phompho;
    Iye anakoloweka dziko lapansi mʼmalo mwake pamene panali popanda nʼkanthu komwe.
⁸ Amasunga madzi ambiri mʼmitambo yake,
    koma mitamboyo siphulika chifukwa cha kulemera kwa madziwo.
⁹ Iye amaphimba mwezi wowala,
    amawuphimba ndi mitambo yake.
¹⁰ Mulungu anawalembera madzi malire wonga uta,
    kukhala malire pakati pa kuwunika ndi mdima.
¹¹ Mizati yochirikiza mitambo yakumwamba imanjenjemera,
    ndi kudabwa pa kudzudzula kwake.
¹² Ndi mphamvu zake anatontholetsa nyanja;
    ndi nzeru zake anakantha chirombo cha mʼmadzi chija chotchedwa Rahabe.
¹³ Ndi mpweya wake anayeretsa zamumlengalenga,
    dzanja lake linapha chinjoka chothawa chija.
¹⁴ Zimenezi ndi pangʼono chabe mwa ntchito yake;
    tingomva pangʼono za Iye ngati kunongʼona!
    Kodi ndani angathe kudziwa kukula kwa mphamvu zake?”
