Psalms 142

1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

Thaburi ya Daudi Ngayagĩra Jehova nyanĩrĩire; ngwambararia mũgambo wakwa kũrĩ Jehova anjiguĩre tha.

2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.

Njitũrũraga mateta makwa mbere yake; ndĩrĩmwĩraga thĩĩna wakwa ndĩ mbere yake.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privately laid a snare for me.

Rĩrĩa roho wakwa waringĩka thĩinĩ wakwa, Wee nĩwe ũmenyaga njĩra ĩrĩa ndĩrĩgera. Njĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa thiiagĩra-rĩ, andũ nĩmahithĩire mũtego.

4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

Ta rora mwena wakwa wa ũrĩo wone; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũranũmbũiya. Ndirĩ na ha kũũrĩra; muoyo wakwa gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩũmenyerera.

5 I cried unto you, O LORD: I said, You are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

Wee Jehova, nĩwe ngayagĩra; njugaga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa, na igai rĩakwa bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.”

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Thikĩrĩria gũkaya gwakwa, nĩgũkorwo ndĩĩmũhinyĩrĩrie mũno; ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa mathingatanĩte na niĩ, nĩgũkorwo marĩ na hinya mũno kũngĩra.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name: the righteous shall compass me about; for you shall deal bountifully with me.

Njohorithia kuuma kĩoho-inĩ gĩakwa, nĩguo ngoocage rĩĩtwa rĩaku. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakandigiicĩria, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũnjĩkĩte wega.
