Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.
Thaburi ya Daudi Igua ihooya rĩakwa, Wee Jehova, thikĩrĩria kĩrĩro gĩakwa ũnjiguĩre tha; ũka ũndeithie, nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku na ũthingu waku.
2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
Ndũgaciirithie ndungata yaku, nĩgũkorwo maitho-inĩ maku gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ muoyo ũngĩtuuo mũthingu.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.
Thũ nĩĩthingatĩte, ĩkangurumania thĩ tĩĩri-inĩ; ĩtũmaga ndũũre nduma-inĩ ta arĩa maakuire tene.
4 My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio roho wakwa ũkaringĩka thĩinĩ wakwa; ngoro yakwa nĩĩmakĩte mũno thĩinĩ wakwa.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
Nĩndĩrĩririkanaga matukũ marĩa ma tene; ndĩrĩcũũranagia mawĩko maku mothe na ngatarania maũndũ marĩa moko maku meekĩte.
6 I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
Ndambũrũkĩtie moko makwa na kũrĩ we; muoyo wakwa ũkũnyootagĩra ta bũrũri ũrĩa mũũmũ.
7 Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.
Wee Jehova, hiũha kũnjĩtĩka; roho wakwa nĩũthirĩtwo nĩ hinya. Tiga kũũhitha ũthiũ waku, ndikahaane ta arĩa matoonyaga irima.
8 Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.
O rũciinĩ reke njiguage kiugo kĩa wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ndĩĩhokete. Nyonia njĩra ĩrĩa njagĩrĩirwo nĩkũgera, nĩgũkorwo muoyo wakwa ndĩwerekeirie igũrũ kũrĩ we.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
Ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciakwa, Wee Jehova, nĩgũkorwo ndĩĩhithaga harĩwe.
10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Nduta gwĩkaga wendi waku, nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa; Roho waku mwega arondongoragia, ngeragĩre kũrĩa kwaraganu.
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Wee Jehova, nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku, tũũria muoyo wakwa; nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku-rĩ, nduta kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
12 And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.
Nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku ũtathiraga, kiria thũ ciakwa; niina arĩa othe maathũire, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku.
