do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth

The Hebrew in Psalm 119:43 that is translated as “do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth” or similar in English is translated in the Contemporary Chichewa translation (2002/2016) as “do not remove the words of truth in my mouth.” The word that has been translated as “remove” is “kwatula“. In Chichewa, this word has the sense of removing something by force and at an unexpected time. (Source: Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero Back Translation)
