Zisanayambe kuchitika ndidzakuwuzani za izi. " ¹⁰ Imbirani Yehova nyimbo yatsopano, ndi matamando ake kuchokera kumalekezero a dziko lapansi; inu amene mutsikira kunyanja, ndi zonse zili mkati mwake, ndi zisumbu, ndi iwo akukhala momwemo. ¹¹ Chipululu ndi mizinda ifuule, midzi ya Kedara ayimbe; Okhala m'Sela ayimbe; afuule pamwamba pa mapiri. ¹² Alemekeze Yehova, ndi kulengeza matamando ake m'zisumbu. ¹³ Yehova atuluka ngati wankhondo; ngati munthu wankhondo adzautsa nsanje yake. Adzafuula, inde, adzabangula phokoso la nkhondo yake; adzaonetsa adani ake mphamvu zake. ¹⁴ Ndakhala chete kwa nthawi yayitali; Ndakhala chete ndipo ndinadziletsa; tsopano ndifuula ngati mkazi wobala; Ndipuma ndi kupuma. ¹⁵ Ndidzawononga mapiri ndi zitunda ndi kuumitsa msipu wawo wonse; ndipo ndidzasandutsa mitsinje zisumbu, ndi kuumitsa madambo. ¹⁶ Ndidzabweretsa akhungu m'njira imene sakudziwa; ndidzawatsogolera m'njira zimene sakudziwa. Ndidzasandutsa mdima kukhala kuunika pamaso pawo, ndi kukonza zopindika. Zinthu izi ndidzazichita, ndipo sindidzawasiya. ¹⁷ Adzabwerera m'mbuyo, nadzakhala ndi manyazi, iwo amene akhulupirira mafano osema, amene amati, "Inu ndinu milungu yathu." ¹⁸ Tamverani, agonthi inu; ndipo yang'anani inu akhungu, kuti muwone. ¹⁹ Ndani wakhungu koma wantchito wanga? Kapena wogontha ngati mthenga wanga amene ndimamutuma? Ndani ali wakhungu ngati mnzanga wapangano, kapena wakhungu ngati mtumiki wa Yahweh? ²⁰ Uwona zinthu zambiri, koma osazindikira; makutu ali otseguka, koma palibe amene akumva. ²¹ Zinakondweretsa Yehova kutamanda chilungamo chake ndi kupangitsa kuti malamulo ake akhale olemekezeka. ²² Koma awa ndi anthu olandidwa zofunkha; onse agwidwa m'maenje, ogwidwa m'ndende; akhala zofunkha popanda wowapulumutsa, ndipo palibe amene akunena kuti, "Abweretseni!" ²³ Ndani mwa inu adzamvera izi? Ndani adzamve ndikumva mtsogolo? ²⁴ Ndani anapereka Yakobo kwa wolanda, ndi Israyeli kwa olanda? Kodi si Yehova, amene tidachimwira Iye, amene adakana kuyenda m'njira zake, ndi kukana kumvera lamulo lake? ²⁵ Cifukwa cace anatsanulira pa iwo mkwiyo wace waukuru ndi ciwawa ca nkhondo; Malawi ao anawazinga, koma sanazindikira; chinawawotcha, koma sanachikumbukira.
