Psalms 43

1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause, Against a nation, without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity, wilt thou deliver me?

Nduĩra ciira wakwa, Wee Ngai, na ũnjiirĩrĩre harĩ rũrĩrĩ rũrũ rũtagwĩtĩkĩtie; ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ andũ aya aaganu na maaragia maheeni.

2 For, thou, art my defending God—Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander, because of the oppression of an enemy?

Wee Ngai nĩwe kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩa hinya. Ũndiganĩirie nĩkĩ? Ingĩthiĩ ngĩcakayaga nĩkĩ nĩ ũndũ wa kũhinyĩrĩirio nĩ thũ?

3 Send forth thy light and thy faithfulness, Let, them, lead me, Let them bring me into thy holy mountain, and into thy habitations:

Tũma ũtheri waku na ũhoro waku wa ma, ũreke indongorie arĩ cio; reke inginyie kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩaku kĩrĩa kĩamũre, o kũu gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku.

4 That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy, —That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God—mine own God!

Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngathiĩ kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Ngai, nginye harĩ Mũrungu, o we gĩkeno gĩakwa, na o we ngenagĩra. Nĩndĩrĩkũgoocaga ngĩhũũraga kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, Wee Ngai, o Wee Ngai wakwa.

5 Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me, Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence, and my God.

Wee ngoro yakwa, ũkĩritũhĩirwo nĩkĩ? Ũrathĩĩnĩka ũguo nĩkĩ ũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa? Wĩrĩgagĩrĩre o Ngai, nĩgũkorwo no ndĩrĩmũgoocaga, o we Mũhonokia wakwa na Ngai wakwa.
