14 Ndakhala ngati munthu wosamva,Sindikulankhula zotsutsana nawo.
15 Pakuti ine ndikuyembekezera inu Yehova.+Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga, mudzandiyankha.+
16 Ine ndinati: “Ngati simundiyankha adani anga adzasangalala chifukwa cha kusautsika kwanga.+Phazi langa likaterereka,+ iwo adzadzikweza pamaso panga.”+

20 Iwo anali kundibwezera choipa m’malo mwa chabwino,+Ndikamayesetsa kuchita chabwino anali kunditsutsa.+
21 Inu Yehova, musandisiye.Inu Mulungu wanga, musakhale kutali ndi ine.+
22 Fulumirani kundithandiza,+Inu Yehova, chipulumutso changa.+
