23 Nawa mawu otsiriza a Davide:
“Mawu a Davide mwana wa Yese,

2 “Mzimu wa Yehova unayankhula kudzera mwa ine;
mawu ake anali pakamwa panga.
3 Mulungu wa Israeli anayankhula,
Thanthwe la Israeli linati kwa ine:
‘Pamene munthu alamulira anthu mwachilungamo,
pamene alamulira moopa Mulungu,
4 amakhala ngati kuwala kwa mmamawa,
mmawa wopanda mitambo,
monga kuwala pamene mvula yaleka kugwa
imene imameretsa udzu mʼnthaka.’
5 “Kodi banja langa silolungama pamaso pa Mulungu?
Kodi Iye sanachite pangano losatha ndi ine,

Kodi sadzakwaniritsa chipulumutso changa,
ndi kundipatsa chokhumba changa chilichonse?
6 Koma anthu oyipa ndiwo ayenera kutayidwa kunja ngati minga,
imene sitengedwa ndi manja.
7 Aliyense amene wayikhudza mingayo
amayidula pogwiritsa ntchito chigwandali kapena ndodo ya mkondo;
nayitentha pa moto.”
