Psalms 138

1 A psalm of David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to you.

Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nĩngũkũgooca na ngoro yakwa yothe; ngũkũinĩra ngũgooce ngai iria ingĩ irĩ o ho.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness. You have made your word and your name more important than anything else.

Ngũinamĩrĩra njerekeire hekarũ-inĩ yaku ĩrĩa nyamũre, ngooce rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku na wĩhokeku waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩũtũũgĩrĩtie rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na ũgatũũgĩria kiugo gĩaku makĩria ya maũndũ marĩa mangĩ mothe.

3 On the day that I called you, you answered me; you made me bold and strengthened my soul.

Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndagwĩtire, nĩwanjĩtĩkire; wanyũmĩrĩirie na ũkĩnjĩkĩra hinya ngoro.

4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they will hear the words from your mouth.

Wee Jehova-rĩ, athamaki othe a thĩ nĩmakũgoocage, rĩrĩa maigua ciugo cia kanua gaku.

5 Indeed, they will sing of the deeds of Yahweh, for great is the glory of Yahweh.

Nĩmaganage ũhoro wa njĩra cia Jehova, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Jehova nĩ mũnene.

6 For though Yahweh is high, yet he cares for the lowly, but the proud he knows from far off.

O na gũtũĩka Jehova arĩ igũrũ-rĩ, nĩaroraga andũ arĩa enyiihia, no arĩa etĩĩi akamenya ũhoro wao arĩ o kũraya.

7 Though I walk in the middle of danger, you will preserve my life; you will reach out with your hand against the anger of my enemies, and your right hand will save me.

O na ingĩgerera mathĩĩna-inĩ, Wee nĩũmenyagĩrĩra muoyo wakwa; ũtambũrũkagia guoko gwaku ũgookĩrĩra marakara ma thũ ciakwa, ũkaahonokia na guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo.

8 Yahweh is with me to the end; your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, endures forever. Do not forsake the ones whom your hands have made.

Jehova nĩakahingia muoroto wake harĩ niĩ; wendo waku, Wee Jehova, nĩ wa tene na tene; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũgatiganĩrie wĩra wa moko maku.
