Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa marũmagia kĩrĩra gĩake, o arĩa mamũrongoragia na ngoro yothe.
3 They don't do what's wrong; they walk in his ways.

O na gũtuĩka aathani maikaraga thĩ hamwe makanjambia, ndungata yaku nĩĩrĩcũũranagia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
24 Your laws make me happy—they are my wise advisors.
Kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩkĩo ngenagĩra; nĩkĩo kĩĩheaga mataaro.
25 I'm dying here, lying in the dust. Keep me alive as you promised.

51 Arrogant people mock me terribly, but I don't give up on your teachings.
Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maanyũrũragia matekwĩgirĩrĩria, no nditiganagĩria watho waku.
52 I think about the instructions you gave long ago, Lord, and they reassure me.
Nĩndirikanaga mawatho maku ma tene, Wee Jehova, namo nĩmahooreragia.
53 I am angry with the wicked because they have rejected your law.
Nyiitagwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa aaganu, o acio maatiganĩirie watho waku.
54 Your instructions have been music to my ears wherever I have lived.
Ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩguo ũtuĩkĩte rwĩmbo rwakwa, o kũrĩa guothe ingĩikara.
55 At night I think about the kind of person you are, Lord, and do what you say.

56 For this is how I live my life—by following your principles. Heth

59 As I think about my life, I turn to follow what you have said.
Nĩndĩcũũranĩtie ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yakwa, ngagĩcookia makinya makwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.

O na kũngĩtuĩka atĩ andũ arĩa aaganu no manjohe na mĩhĩndo-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.

66 Now teach me wise judgment and discernment because I believe in your instructions.
Nduta gũkũũrana maũndũ wega o na kũmamenya, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie maathani maku.

68 Since you are good, everything you do is good. Teach me your ways.
Wee ũrĩ mwega, na nĩwĩkaga o wega; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
69 Arrogant people smear my reputation with lies; but I whole-heartedly follow your commands.
O na gũtuĩka andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmahakĩte gĩko na ndeto cia maheeni, ngũtũũra nũmĩtie mawatho maku na ngoro yakwa yothe.
70 They are cold and unfeeling, but I love your law.

71 The suffering I went through was good for me, so I could think about what you have stipulated.
Warĩ ũndũ mwega niĩ nyone thĩĩna, nĩgeetha ndĩĩrute kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
72 What you tell me to do is worth more to me than much gold and silver. Yodh
Watho ũrĩa uumĩte kanua gaku nĩ wa bata mũno harĩ niĩ, gũkĩra ngiri cia icunjĩ cia betha na thahabu.
73 You created me and made me what I am; help me to learn and better understand your commandments.
Moko maku nĩmo manyũmbire na magĩĩthondeka ũguo ndariĩ; he ũtaũku nĩguo ndĩĩrute maathani maku.
74 May those who worship you be happy when they see me, for I place my confidence in your word.
Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte marokenaga rĩrĩa maanyona, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
75 Lord, I know that what you decide is right; you brought me down in order to help me because you are trustworthy.

76 May your trustworthy love comfort me as your promised me, your servant.

77 Be compassionate to me so I may live, for I love your teachings.

79 Let those who follow you turn to me, those who understand your laws.
Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte maronjookerera, o acio mataũkĩirwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
80 May I be innocent in the way I keep your rules so that I won't be ashamed. Kaph

Ngoro yakwa ĩringĩkaga nĩ kwĩrirĩria ũhonokio waku, no niĩ njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
82 I strain my eyes looking for you to keep your promises, asking “When will you comfort me?”
Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩ gũtũũra njũthĩrĩirie kĩĩranĩro gĩaku; ngakĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgaakĩĩhooreria rĩ?”
83 I've become like a wineskin that's been shriveled up by smoke, but I have not forgotten to do as you say.
O na gũtuĩka haana ta mondo ya rũũa ya ndibei ĩigĩtwo ndogo-inĩ, ndiriganagĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
84 How long do I have to wait before you punish my persecutors?
Niĩ ndungata yaku-rĩ, ngweterera nginya rĩ? Arĩa maanyariiraga ũkaamaherithia rĩ?
85 These arrogant people have dug pits to trap me, these people who don't care anything about your law.
Andũ arĩa etĩĩi manyenjeire marima nĩguo ngwe kuo, o acio makararagia watho waku.
86 All your commands are trustworthy. Help me against these people who persecute me with their lies!
Maathani maku mothe nĩ ma kwĩhokwo; ndeithia, nĩgũkorwo andũ maanyariiraga hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
87 They have almost killed me, but I have not given up on what you say.
Maatigĩtie hanini maaniine nyume thĩ ĩno, no nditiganĩirie mawatho maku.
88 Since you love me with your trustworthy love, don't let me die, so I can go on following the instructions you have given. Lamedh

89 Your word, Lord, lasts forever. It stands firm in the heavens.
Wee Jehova, kiugo gĩaku gĩtũũraga tene na tene; gĩtũũraga kĩĩhaandĩte wega kũu igũrũ.

Andũ arĩa aaganu manjoheirie nĩguo maaniine, no niĩ ndĩrĩĩcũũranagia o ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku.
