¹ Inu Yehova, ndinu wolungama ndikadzakutengerani zifukwa. Ndidzakuuzani chifukwa cha kudandaula kwanga: Chifukwa chiyani njira za oipa zipambana?

Ndapereka wokondedwa wanga m’manja mwa adani ake. ⁸ Cholowa changa chandisanduka ngati mkango m’nkhalango; atsutsana nane ndi mau ace, kotero ndimuda. ⁹ Kodi chuma changa chamtengo wapatali sichinasanduka mbalame yamathothomathotho? Pitani kasonkhanitse zilombo zonse zakutchire ndi kuzibweretsa kuti zimulikwire. ¹⁰ Abusa ambiri awononga munda wanga wa mpesa.
