Psalms 119
1 [ALEPH.] How happy the men of blameless life, who walk in the law of Yahweh.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa mĩthiĩre yao ĩtarĩ ũcuuke, o arĩa mathiiaga kũringana na watho wa Jehova.
2 How happy they who observe his testimonies, with a whole heart, they seek him.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa marũmagia kĩrĩra gĩake, o arĩa mamũrongoragia na ngoro yothe.
3 Yea, they have not wrought perversity, In his ways, have they walked.
Matirĩ ũndũ mũũru mekaga; no kũgera mageragĩra njĩra ciake.
4 Thou, hast commanded thy precepts, that they should be diligently kept.
Wee nĩũheanĩte mawatho marĩa marĩ ma gwathĩkagĩrwo na kĩyo.
5 Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.
Naarĩ korwo mĩthiĩre yakwa ĩkĩrĩ mĩkindĩrĩku ũhoro-inĩ wa gwathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku!
6 Then, shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndingĩconorithio rĩrĩa ngũcũũrania maathani maku mothe.
7 I will thank thee with uprightness of heart, when I have learned thy righteous regulations.
Nĩndĩrĩkũgoocaga ndĩ na ngoro nũngĩrĩru, o ngĩĩrutaga ũhoro wa mawatho maku ma kĩhooto.
8 Thy statutes, will I keep, Do not thou forsake me utterly.
Nĩndĩrĩathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku; ndũgakĩndiganĩrie o biũ.
9 [BETH.] Wherewithal can a young man keep pure his way? By taking heed, according to thy word.
Mũndũ mwĩthĩ-rĩ, angĩiga mũtũũrĩre wake ũrĩ mũtheru atĩa? Nĩ na ũndũ wa gũtũũra athĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
10 With all my heart, have I sought thee, Suffer me not to be led astray from thy commandments.
Ngũrongoragia na ngoro yakwa yothe; ndũkanareke njũrũũre ndigane na maathani maku.
11 In my heart, have I treasured what thou hast said, to the end I may not sin against thee.
Nĩhithĩte kiugo gĩaku thĩinĩ wa ngoro yakwa, nĩguo ndikae gũkwĩhĩria.
12 Blessed art thou, O Yahweh—Teach me thy statutes.
Wee Jehova, ũrokĩgoocwo; kĩndute kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
13 With my lips, have I recounted All the regulations of thy mouth.
Nĩndĩriugaga na ngacookera na mĩromo yakwa ũhoro wa mawatho mothe marĩa moimĩte kanua gaku.
14 In the way of thy testimonies, have I rejoiced, Like as over all riches.
Nĩngenagio nĩkũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ akenagĩra kũgĩa na ũtonga mũnene.
15 In thy precepts, will I meditate, that I may discern thy paths.
Nĩndĩrĩcũũranagia mawatho maku na ngatarania njĩra yaku.
16 In thy statutes, will I find my dear delight, I will not forget thy word.
Nĩngenagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku; ndigatiganĩria kiugo gĩaku.
17 [GIMEL.] Bestow thy bounties upon thy servant—let me live, That I may observe thy word.
Niĩ ndungata yaku njĩka wega, na nĩngũtũũra muoyo; niĩ nĩndĩrĩathĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
18 Unveil thou mine eyes, that I may discern Wondrous things out of thy law.
Hingũra maitho makwa nĩguo nyone maũndũ ma magegania marĩa marĩ watho-inĩ waku.
19 A sojourner, am, I, in the earth, Do not hide from me, thy commandments.
Niĩ ndĩ mũgeni gũkũ thĩ; ndũkaahithe maathani maku.
20 My soul is crushed with longing for thy just decisions at all times.
Ngoro yakwa nĩĩrahĩĩahĩĩa nĩ kwĩrirĩria mawatho maku o mahinda mothe.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud as accursed, who stray from thy commandments.
Wee nĩũkũũmaga arĩa etĩĩi, o acio manyiitĩtwo nĩ kĩrumi, na arĩa morũũraga magatiga maathani maku.
22 Roll from off me, reproach and contempt, For, thy testimonies, have I observed.
Njehereria kĩnyũrũri na kũmenwo, nĩgũkorwo ndũũrĩte nũmĩtie kĩrĩra gĩaku.
23 Even rulers have taken their seat, against me, have talked, Thy servant, will still meditate in thy statutes.
O na gũtuĩka aathani maikaraga thĩ hamwe makanjambia, ndungata yaku nĩĩrĩcũũranagia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
24 Yea, thy testimonies, are my dear delight, My counsellors.
Kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩkĩo ngenagĩra; nĩkĩo kĩĩheaga mataaro.
25 [DALETH.] My soul, cleaveth to the dust, Give me life, according to thy word.
Ngometio thĩ rũkũngũ-inĩ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
26 My ways, I recounted, and thou didst answer me, Teach me thy statutes.
Nĩndakwĩrire mĩthiĩre yakwa nawe ũkĩnjĩtĩka; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
27 The way of thy precepts, cause thou me to understand, and I will indeed meditate in thy wonders.
Menyithia ũrutani wa mawatho maku; na niĩ nĩndĩrĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa magegania maku.
28 My soul weepeth itself away, for grief, Confirm thou me, according to thy word.
Ngoro yakwa nĩ nogu nĩ ũndũ wa kĩeha; njĩkĩra hinya kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
29 The way of falsehood, take thou from me, and, with thy law, O favour me.
Njeheranĩria na mĩthiĩre ya maheeni; nĩ ũndũ wa ũtugi waku nduta watho waku.
30 The way of faithfulness, have I chosen, Thy regulations, have I deemed right.
Niĩ-rĩ, ndĩĩthuurĩire njĩra ya ma; matua maku ndĩmaigĩte ngoro-inĩ yakwa.
31 I have kept close to thy testimonies, O Yahweh! do not put me to shame.
Wee Jehova, nĩnũmĩtie kĩrĩra gĩaku; ndũkanareke njonorithio.
32 The way of thy commandments, will I run, for thou wilt enlarge my heart.
Hanyũkaga o na njĩra ya maathani maku, nĩgũkorwo nĩwohorithĩtie ngoro yakwa.
33 [HE.] Point out to me, O Yahweh, the way of thy statutes, that I may observe it unto the end.
Wee Jehova, nduta kũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, na niĩ ndĩkĩrũmie nginya mũthia.
34 Give me understanding, that I may observe thy law, that I may keep it with a whole heart.
He ũmenyo, na nĩndĩrĩrũmagia watho waku na ndĩwathĩkagĩre na ngoro yakwa yothe.
35 Guide me in the path of thy commandments, for, therein, do I find pleasure.
Ngeragĩria njĩra-inĩ cia maathani maku, nĩgũkorwo nĩmo ngenagĩra.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not unto unjust gain.
Erekeria ngoro yakwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku, nĩguo ĩtige kwerekera ũhoro-inĩ wa gwĩtongia.
37 Turn away mine eyes, from beholding vanity, In thy way, give me life.
Girĩrĩria maitho makwa matige kwĩrorera maũndũ ma tũhũ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
38 Establish, unto thy servant, thy word, which pertaineth to the reverence of thee.
Hingĩria ndungata yaku kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, nĩgeetha wĩtigagĩrwo.
39 Cause to pass away my reproach, that I have feared, for, thy regulations, are good.
Njehereria njono iria ndĩĩtigagĩra, nĩgũkorwo mawatho maku nĩ mega.
40 Lo! I have longed for thy precepts, In thy righteousness, give me life.
Kaĩ nĩndĩĩriragĩria mawatho maku-ĩ! Tũũria muoyo wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku.
41 [WAW.] And let thy lovingkindness reach me, O Yahweh, thy salvation, according to thy word.
Wee Jehova, wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũronginyĩra, ũhonokio waku ũnginyĩre kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku;
42 So shall I have something to answer him that reproacheth me, That I have trusted in thy word.
nĩguo ngoragwo na ũndũ wa gũcookeria andũ arĩa maanyũrũragia, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩhokete kiugo gĩaku.
43 And do not snatch away from my mouth the word of truth in any wise, because, for thy regulation, have I waited.
Ndũkandunye kiugo kĩa ma kuuma kanua-inĩ gakwa, nĩgũkorwo njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa mawatho-inĩ maku.
44 That I may keep thy law continually, to times age-abiding and beyond.
Ngũtũũra njathĩkagĩra watho waku, nginya tene na tene.
45 That I may walk to and fro in a large place, because, thy precepts, have I sought.
Ndĩrĩthiiaga ndĩ na wĩyathi, nĩgũkorwo nĩmaathaga mawatho maku.
46 That I may speak of thy testimonies before kings, and not be ashamed.
Nĩndĩrĩaragia ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku mbere ya athamaki na ndirĩconokaga,
47 That I may find dear delight in thy commandments, which I have loved.
nĩgũkorwo nĩngenagĩra maathani maku tondũ nĩndĩmendete.
48 That I may lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and may meditate in thy statutes.
Ndĩrĩambararagia moko makwa kũrĩ maathani maku marĩa nyendete, na ndĩcũũranagie igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
49 [ZAYIN.] Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
Ririkana kiugo gĩaku kũrĩ ndungata yaku, nĩgũkorwo nĩũũheete kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.
50 This, is my comfort in mine affliction, that, thy word, hath given me life.
Ũndũ ũrĩa ũũhooreragia ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ nĩ ũyũ: atĩ kĩĩranĩro gĩaku nĩkĩo gĩtũũragia muoyo wakwa.
51 Insolent men, have derided me exceedingly, From thy law, have I not swerved.
Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maanyũrũragia matekwĩgirĩrĩria, no nditiganagĩria watho waku.
52 I have remembered thy regulations, [which have come down] from age-past times, O Yahweh, and have consoled myself.
Nĩndirikanaga mawatho maku ma tene, Wee Jehova, namo nĩmahooreragia.
53 A raging heat, hath seized me, by reason of the lawless, who forsake thy law.
Nyiitagwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa aaganu, o acio maatiganĩirie watho waku.
54 Songs, have thy statutes become to me, in my house of sojourn.
Ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩguo ũtuĩkĩte rwĩmbo rwakwa, o kũrĩa guothe ingĩikara.
55 I have remembered, in the night, thy Name, O Yahweh, and have kept thy law.
Ũtukũ ndirikanaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, ngakĩrũmia watho waku Wee Jehova.
56 This, have I had, because, thy precepts, have I observed.
Ũũ nĩguo ngoretwo ngĩĩka: nĩnjathĩkagĩra mawatho maku.
57 [HETH.] My portion, is Yahweh, I have promised that I would keep thy words.
Wee Jehova, Wee nĩwe igai rĩakwa; nĩngwĩrĩte atĩ ndĩathĩkagĩra ciugo ciaku.
58 I have sought the smile of thy face with all my heart, Show me favour, according to thy word.
Maathĩĩte ũthiũ waku na ngoro yakwa yothe; nginyagĩria wega waku o ta ũrĩa wĩranĩire.
59 I have thought upon my ways, and have turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
Nĩndĩcũũranĩtie ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yakwa, ngagĩcookia makinya makwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
60 I have hastened, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments.
Nĩngũhiũha na ndigũcererwo gwathĩkĩra maathani maku.
61 The meshes of the lawless, have surrounded me, Thy law, have I not forgotten.
O na kũngĩtuĩka atĩ andũ arĩa aaganu no manjohe na mĩhĩndo-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
62 At midnight, I arise to give thanks unto thee, For thy righteous regulations.
Ũtukũ gatagatĩ njarahũkaga ngũcookerie ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku ma kĩhooto.
63 Companion, am I, to all who revere thee, and to them who keep thy precepts.
Niĩ ndĩ mũrata wa andũ arĩa othe magwĩtigĩrĩte, o arĩa othe marũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku.
64 Of thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, the earth, is full, Thy statutes, teach thou me.
Wee Jehova, thĩ ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo waku; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
65 [TETH.] Well, hast thou dealt with thy servant, O Yahweh, according to thy word.
Wee Jehova, ĩka ndungata yaku kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
66 Good judgment and knowledge, teach thou me, For, in thy commandments, have I trusted.
Nduta gũkũũrana maũndũ wega o na kũmamenya, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie maathani maku.
67 Before I was afflicted, I myself was going astray, but, now, thy word, have I kept.
Mbere itanoona thĩĩna nĩndahĩtagia, no rĩu nĩnjathĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
68 Good, thou art, and doing good, Teach me thy statutes.
Wee ũrĩ mwega, na nĩwĩkaga o wega; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
69 Insolent men have plastered falsehood over me, I, with a whole heart, will observe thy precepts.
O na gũtuĩka andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmahakĩte gĩko na ndeto cia maheeni, ngũtũũra nũmĩtie mawatho maku na ngoro yakwa yothe.
70 Gross, like fat, is their heart, I, in thy law, have found dear delight.
Ngoro ciao nĩ nyũmũ na itirĩ tha, no niĩ ngenagĩra watho waku.
71 It is, well for me, that I was afflicted, That I might learn thy statutes.
Warĩ ũndũ mwega niĩ nyone thĩĩna, nĩgeetha ndĩĩrute kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
72 Better to me, is the law of thy mouth, than thousands of gold and silver.
Watho ũrĩa uumĩte kanua gaku nĩ wa bata mũno harĩ niĩ, gũkĩra ngiri cia icunjĩ cia betha na thahabu.
73 [YODH.] Thine own hands, have made me, and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
Moko maku nĩmo manyũmbire na magĩĩthondeka ũguo ndariĩ; he ũtaũku nĩguo ndĩĩrute maathani maku.
74 They who revere thee, shall see me and rejoice, that, for thy word, I waited.
Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte marokenaga rĩrĩa maanyona, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
75 I know, O Yahweh, that righteous are thy regulations, and, in faithfulness, didst thou afflict me.
Jehova, nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mawatho maku nĩ ma ũthingu, na ũnyonetie thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku.
76 Let thy lovingkindness, I beseech thee, serve to comfort me, according to thy word to thy servant.
Wendani waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũrotuĩka wa kũũhooreria, kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩrĩa werĩire ndungata yaku.
77 Let thy compassions reach me, that I may live, for, thy law, is my dear delight.
Ĩtĩkĩra tha ciaku inginyĩre nĩguo ndũũre muoyo, nĩgũkorwo watho waku nĩguo ngenagĩra.
78 Let insolent men, be ashamed, because, by means of falsehood, they have dealt with me perversely, I, will meditate in thy precepts.
Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maroconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa kũnjĩka ũũru hatarĩ gĩtũmi; no niĩ-rĩ, ndĩrĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
79 Let them who revere thee, turn unto me, even they who know thy testimonies.
Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte maronjookerera, o acio mataũkĩirwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
80 Let my heart be thorough in thy statutes, that I may not be ashamed.
Ngoro yakwa ĩroaga ũcuuke ũhoro-inĩ wa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩguo ndikanaconorithio.
81 [KAPH.] My soul, hath languished for thy salvation, For thy word, have I hoped.
Ngoro yakwa ĩringĩkaga nĩ kwĩrirĩria ũhonokio waku, no niĩ njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
82 Mine eyes have failed for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩ gũtũũra njũthĩrĩirie kĩĩranĩro gĩaku; ngakĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgaakĩĩhooreria rĩ?”
83 Though I have been like a wine-skin in the smoke, thy statutes, have I not forgotten.
O na gũtuĩka haana ta mondo ya rũũa ya ndibei ĩigĩtwo ndogo-inĩ, ndiriganagĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
84 How few are the days of thy servant! When wilt thou execute sentence on my persecutors?
Niĩ ndungata yaku-rĩ, ngweterera nginya rĩ? Arĩa maanyariiraga ũkaamaherithia rĩ?
85 Insolent men digged for me pits, men who are not according to thy law.
Andũ arĩa etĩĩi manyenjeire marima nĩguo ngwe kuo, o acio makararagia watho waku.
86 All thy commandments, are faithful, With falsehood, have they persecuted me, O help me!
Maathani maku mothe nĩ ma kwĩhokwo; ndeithia, nĩgũkorwo andũ maanyariiraga hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
87 A little more, and they had consumed me in the earth, but, I, forsake not thy precepts.
Maatigĩtie hanini maaniine nyume thĩ ĩno, no nditiganĩirie mawatho maku.
88 According to thy lovingkindness, give thou me life, so will I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
Menyerera muoyo wakwa kũringana na wendo waku, na ndĩathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩa kanua gaku.
89 [LAMED.] Age-abidingly, O Yahweh, hath thy word been set up in the heavens.
Wee Jehova, kiugo gĩaku gĩtũũraga tene na tene; gĩtũũraga kĩĩhaandĩte wega kũu igũrũ.
90 To generation after generation, is thy faithfulness, Thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
Wĩhokeku waku nĩ wa kuuma njiarwa nginya njiarwa; nĩwe warũmirie thĩ, nayo ĩgagĩikara o ĩrũmĩte.
91 By thy regulations, do they stand to-day, for, all, are thy servants.
Mawatho maku matũũraga nginya ũmũthĩ, nĩgũkorwo indo ciothe nĩwe itungataga.
92 Had not thy law been my dear delight, then, had I perished in mine affliction.
Korwo watho waku tiguo ũngenagia, ingĩanathira nĩ mĩnyamaro yakwa.
93 Unto times age-abiding, will I not forget thy precepts, For, by them, hast thou given me life.
Niĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaariganĩrwo nĩ mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo ũndũũrĩtie muoyo nĩ ũndũ wamo.
94 Thine, am I, —oh save me! For, thy precepts, have I sought.
Honokia, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ waku, na nĩĩmaathĩte mawatho maku.
95 For me, have the lawless waited, to destroy me, Thy testimonies, will I diligently consider.
Andũ arĩa aaganu manjoheirie nĩguo maaniine, no niĩ ndĩrĩĩcũũranagia o ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku.
96 To all perfection, have I seen an end, Broad is thy commandment, exceedingly.
Ũndũ o wothe mũkinyanĩru wega, nĩnyonete nĩ ũrĩ mũthia; no maathani maku matirĩ mũhaka.
97 [MEM.] Oh how I love thy law! All the day, is it my (meditation)
Kaĩ nĩnyendete watho waku-ĩ! Ndindaga ngĩtarania ũhoro waguo mũthenya wothe.
98 Beyond mine enemies, will thy commandment make me wise, for, age-abidingly, shall it be mine.
Maathani maku matũmaga njũhĩge gũkĩra thũ ciakwa, nĩgũkorwo makoragwo hamwe na niĩ hĩndĩ ciothe.
99 Beyond all my teachers, have I shown discretion, for, thy testimonies, are my (meditation)
Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra arutani akwa othe, nĩgũkorwo ndaranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
100 Beyond the elders, will I show understanding, for, thy precepts, have I observed.
Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra athuuri, nĩgũkorwo njathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku.
101 From every way of wickedness, have I withheld my feet, that I might keep thy word.
Nĩndigagĩrĩria magũrũ makwa matikagerere njĩra o yothe njũru, nĩgeetha njathĩkagĩre kiugo gĩaku.
102 From thy regulations, have I not turned aside, for, thou, hast directed me.
Niĩ nditiganĩirie mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe ũndutĩte ũhoro ũcio.
103 How smooth to my palate is thy speech, More than honey, to my mouth.
Kaĩ ciugo ciaku irĩ mũrĩo ngĩcicama-ĩ, irĩ mũrĩo gũkĩra ũũkĩ ũrĩ kanua-inĩ gakwa!
104 Out of thy precepts, will I get understanding, For this cause, do I hate every false way.
Ngĩĩaga na ũtaũku nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩra gĩaku; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩthũire njĩra o yothe njũru.
105 [NUN.] A lamp to my feet, is thy word, and a light to my path.
Kiugo gĩaku nĩkĩo tawa wa magũrũ makwa, na ũtheri wa kũmũrĩka njĩra yakwa.
106 I sware, and have fulfilled, To keep thy righteous regulations.
Nĩndĩĩhĩtĩte mwĩhĩtwa na ngagwatĩria, atĩ nĩndĩrĩrũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku ma ũthingu.
107 I have been afflicted exceedingly, —O Yahweh, give me life according to thy word.
Nĩthĩĩnĩkĩte mũno; Wee Jehova, tũũria muoyo wakwa, kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
108 The freewill offerings of my mouth, accept, I pray thee, O Yahweh, And, thy regulations, teach thou me.
Wee Jehova, ĩtĩkĩra ũgooci wa kwĩyendera wa kanua gakwa, na ũkĩndute mawatho maku.
109 My life, is in my hand continually, Yet, thy law, have I not forgotten.
O na gũtuĩka ndũũraga nyiitĩrĩire muoyo wakwa moko-inĩ makwa-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
110 The lawless have set a snare for me, Yet, from thy precepts, have I not strayed.
Andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmanyambĩire mũtego, no ndirĩ ndahĩtia kĩrĩra gĩaku.
111 As an inheritance have I taken thy testimonies unto times age-abiding, for, the joy of my heart, they are.
Mawatho maku nĩmo igai rĩakwa nginya tene; nĩmo gĩkeno kĩa ngoro yakwa.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes, Age-abidingly, to the end.
Ngoro yakwa nĩĩtuĩte kũrũmagia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku o nginya mũthia.
113 [SAMECH.] Half-hearted ones, do I hate, but, thy law, do I love.
Nĩthũire andũ a ngoro igĩrĩ, no nĩnyendete watho waku.
114 My hiding-place and my buckler, thou art, For thy word, have I waited.
Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa na ngo yakwa; njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa kiugo-inĩ gĩaku.
115 Depart from me, ye evil-doers, —that I may observe the commandments of my God.
Njehererai, inyuĩ eeki ũũru, nĩguo ngĩrũmie maathani ma Ngai wakwa!
116 Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live, and do not shame me out of my hope!
Nyiitagĩrĩra kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, na nĩngũtũũra muoyo; ndũkareke kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa kĩharagane.
117 Sustain me, that I may be saved, and may find dear delight in thy statutes continually.
Ndiiragĩrĩra, na nĩngũhonokio; ngũtũũra ndĩĩte uuge waku.
118 Thou hast made light of all who stray from thy statutes, for their fraud is, falsehood.
Nĩũregaga arĩa othe matiganaga na kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩgũkorwo kwĩheenia kũu meheenagia nakuo nĩ gwa tũhũ.
119 Dross, have I accounted all the lawless of the earth, therefore do I love thy testimonies.
Arĩa othe aaganu a gũkũ thĩ ũmateaga ta gĩko; nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩnyendete kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
120 My flesh, bristled up from dread of thee, and, of thy regulations, stand I in fear.
Mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩũinainaga nĩgũgwĩtigĩra; njikaraga na guoya mũnene nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku.
121 [AYIN.] I have done justice and righteousness, —Do not leave me to mine oppressors.
Niĩ njĩkĩte maũndũ ma ũthingu na ma kĩhooto; ndũkandiganĩrie harĩ arĩa maahinyagĩrĩria.
122 Be thou surety for thy servant for good, Let not insolent men oppress me.
Menyerera ũgima wa ndungata yaku; ndũkareke andũ arĩa etĩĩi maahinyĩrĩrie.
123 Mine eyes, have become dim for thy salvation, and for thy righteous word.
