Psalms 143
1 [A Psalm by David.] Hear my prayer, YHWH. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve 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 enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
Ndũgaciirithie ndungata yaku, nĩgũkorwo maitho-inĩ maku gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ muoyo ũngĩtuuo mũthingu.
3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
Thũ nĩĩthingatĩte, ĩkangurumania thĩ tĩĩri-inĩ; ĩtũmaga ndũũre nduma-inĩ ta arĩa maakuire tene.
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
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 doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
Nĩndĩrĩririkanaga matukũ marĩa ma tene; ndĩrĩcũũranagia mawĩko maku mothe na ngatarania maũndũ marĩa moko maku meekĩte.
6 I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (Selah)
Ndambũrũkĩtie moko makwa na kũrĩ we; muoyo wakwa ũkũnyootagĩra ta bũrũri ũrĩa mũũmũ.
7 Hurry to answer me, YHWH. My spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, so that I do not become like those who go down into the pit.
Wee Jehova, hiũha kũnjĩtĩka; roho wakwa nĩũthirĩtwo nĩ hinya. Tiga kũũhitha ũthiũ waku, ndikahaane ta arĩa matoonyaga irima.
8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
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, YHWH, from my enemies. I run 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. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
Nduta gwĩkaga wendi waku, nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa; Roho waku mwega arondongoragia, ngeragĩre kũrĩa kwaraganu.
11 Revive me, YHWH, for your name's sake. 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 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
Nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku ũtathiraga, kiria thũ ciakwa; niina arĩa othe maathũire, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku.
