Psalms 138

1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.

Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nĩngũkũgooca na ngoro yakwa yothe; ngũkũinĩra ngũgooce ngai iria ingĩ irĩ o ho.

2 I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Ngũinamĩrĩra njerekeire hekarũ-inĩ yaku ĩrĩa nyamũre, ngooce rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku na wĩhokeku waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩũtũũgĩrĩtie rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na ũgatũũgĩria kiugo gĩaku makĩria ya maũndũ marĩa mangĩ mothe.

3 In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndagwĩtire, nĩwanjĩtĩkire; wanyũmĩrĩirie na ũkĩnjĩkĩra hinya ngoro.

4 All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;

Wee Jehova-rĩ, athamaki othe a thĩ nĩmakũgoocage, rĩrĩa maigua ciugo cia kanua gaku.

5 And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

Nĩmaganage ũhoro wa njĩra cia Jehova, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Jehova nĩ mũnene.

6 For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.

O na gũtũĩka Jehova arĩ igũrũ-rĩ, nĩaroraga andũ arĩa enyiihia, no arĩa etĩĩi akamenya ũhoro wao arĩ o kũraya.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

O na ingĩgerera mathĩĩna-inĩ, Wee nĩũmenyagĩrĩra muoyo wakwa; ũtambũrũkagia guoko gwaku ũgookĩrĩra marakara ma thũ ciakwa, ũkaahonokia na guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo.

8 Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Jehova nĩakahingia muoroto wake harĩ niĩ; wendo waku, Wee Jehova, nĩ wa tene na tene; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũgatiganĩrie wĩra wa moko maku.
