Sindingathe kukhala chete,

Chifukwa ndamva kulira kwa lipenga la nyanga ya nkhosa,

Chizindikiro chochenjeza cha nkhondo.*+

18 Chisoni changa nʼchosachiritsika.

Mtima wanga ukudwala.

19 Pakumveka mawu olirira thandizo kuchokera kudziko lakutali,

Kuchokera kwa mwana wamkazi wa anthu anga.

“Nʼchifukwa chiyani andikhumudwitsa ndi mafano awo ogoba,

Ndiponso milungu yawo yachilendo yopanda pake?”

9 Ndikanakonda mʼmutu mwanga mukanakhala madzi ambiri,

Ndiponso maso anga akanakhala kasupe wa misozi.+

Zikanatero, ndikanalira masana ndi usiku

Chifukwa cha anthu a mtundu wanga amene aphedwa.
