[3] Zingwe za imfa zinandizinga, zoopsa za ku dziko la anthu akufa zinandigwera; ndinapeza mavuto ndi chisoni. [4] Pamenepo ndinayitana dzina la Yehova: “Inu Yehova, pulumutseni!” [5] Yehova ndi wokoma mtima ndi wolungama Mulungu wathu ndi wodzaza ndi chifundo. [6] Yehova amateteza munthu wodzichepetsa mtima; pamene ndinali ndi chosowa chachikulu, Iye anandipulumutsa. [7] Pumula iwe moyo wanga, pakuti Yehova wakuchitira zokoma.
