Psalms 56

1 For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, njiguĩra tha, nĩgũkorwo andũ nĩmaingatanĩte na niĩ mũno; mũthenya wothe mendaga o gũũtharĩkĩra.

2 Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

Andũ arĩa manjambagia maingatanaga na niĩ mũthenya wothe; aingĩ nĩ arĩa maraatharĩkĩra na mwĩtĩĩo.

3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.

Rĩrĩa ndetigĩra-rĩ, nĩwe ndĩrĩhokaga.

4 In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

Nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wa Ngai, nĩndĩrĩgoocaga kiugo gĩake, ndĩhokete o Ngai; ndingĩĩtigĩra. Mũndũ ũrĩ na mwĩrĩ angĩnjĩka atĩa?

5 All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.

Mũthenya wothe matindaga makĩogomia ciugo ciakwa; hĩndĩ ciothe mathugundaga kũnjĩka ũũru.

6 They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

Manjiiragĩra na makanjoheria, na makarĩithania na mĩthiĩre yakwa, makĩenda kũnjũraga.

7 You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.

Wee Ngai, ndũkareke mahonoke o na atĩa; ngʼaũrania ndũrĩrĩ na marakara maku.

8 O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise.

Andĩka ũhoro wa gũcakaya gwakwa; maithori makwa mekĩre cuba-inĩ yaku, githĩ matirĩ maandĩko-inĩ maku?

9 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God.

Rĩrĩa ngaakaya ndeithio thũ ciakwa nĩikahũndũka. Ũndũ ũcio nĩũgatũma menye atĩ Ngai arĩ hamwe na niĩ.

10 In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.

Nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wa Ngai, ũrĩa ngoocaga kiugo gĩake, nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wa Jehova, ũrĩa ngoocaga kiugo gĩake,

11 I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

ndĩhokete o Ngai; ndingĩĩtigĩra. Mũndũ-rĩ, angĩnjĩka atĩa?

12 The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

Wee Ngai, mĩĩhĩtwa ĩrĩa ndĩĩhĩtĩte ndĩ o nayo, nĩndĩrĩkũrutagĩra maruta ma gũgũcookeria ngaatho.

13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.

Nĩgũkorwo nĩũũhonoketie kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ, na ũkagirĩrĩria magũrũ makwa kũhĩngwo, nĩguo thiiage mbere ya Ngai ngĩonaga ũtheri ũrĩa wonagwo nĩ arĩa marĩ muoyo.
