2. Mzimu wa Yehova unalankhula mwa ine,Ndi mau ace anali pa lilime langa,
3. Mulungu wa Israyeli anati,Thanthwe la Israyeli Gnalankhula ndi ine;Kudzakhala woweruza anthu molungama;Woweruza m'kuopa Mulungu.
4. Iye adzakhala ngati kuunika kwa m'mawa, poturuka dzuwa,M'mawa mopanda mitambo;Pamene msipu uphuka kuturuka pansi,Cifukwa ca kuwala koyera, italeka mvula.
5. Zoonadi nyumba yanga siikhala yotere ndi Mulungu;Koma iye anapangana ndi ine pangano losatha,Lolongosoka mwa zonse ndi losungika;Pakuti ici ndi cipulumutso canga conse, ndi kufuma kwanga konse,Kodi sadzacimeretsa?
