6“Mbuya, boko lanu lamadidi

Mbuya, boko lanu lamadidi
lidagwata-gwata anyamadulanthaka.
7Mukukunda kwanu kukulu

Mudatumiza ukali bwanu bwakugaka ninga moto,
bomwe budawatentha ninga mausva.
8Na kufuliza kwa mphambvu kwa mphuno zanu
madzi yadagwezekana.
Madzi yakuyerera
yadaima ninga litsito.
Madzi yakuzika
yadauma m'kati mwa nyandza.
9“Nyamadulanthaka akhambabzitumbiza aciti:
‘Ine nin'dzawatewera ndiciwaphata,

Na cisenga m'manja,

10Tsono mudatumiza mphepo yanu,
ndipo nyandza idawamiza.
Adamira ninga utale bwa cumbu

11“Mbani pakati pa mirungu

omwe ambakondza bzidabwiso?
12Mafuthula boko lanu lamadidi,
ndipo mataka yadawakhudyula anyamadulanthaka.
13Na lufoi lanu lakusaya kucinja
mwatsogolera mbumba yomwe mudalombola.
Na mphambvu zanu
Imwe mwaitenga kumbuto yanu yakucena.
14Madziko yambabva,
ndipo yambatekenyeka.
Mantha makulu yambafikira
wanthu wa dziko la Filisti.
15Atsogoleri wa dziko la Edomu
ambamala mphambvu,
atongi wa dziko la Mowabi
ambaphatidwa na mantha,
wanthu wentse wakukhala
mudziko la Kenani ambathetha.
16Kutetemera na mantha bziniwagwera,
kudzera mwa mphambvu za boko lako
ambakhala pulu ninga mwala,
mpaka mbumba yako ipite,
oh Mbuya,
mpaka ipite
mbumba yako yomwe udagula.
17Iwe udzaipitisa, ucidzaibzala
paphiri ra utaka bwako,
oh Mbuya,
pambuto yomwe udakondza kuti ikhale pakukhala pako,
nyumba yakucena, oh Mbuya,
yomwe manja yako yadakondza.
18 Mbuya an'dzakhala mambo mpaka kuyenda-na-kuyenda”.
