< Psalms 119 >
1 ALEPH Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the LORD’s law.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa mĩthiĩre yao ĩtarĩ ũcuuke, o arĩa mathiiaga kũringana na watho wa Jehova.
2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with their whole heart.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa marũmagia kĩrĩra gĩake, o arĩa mamũrongoragia na ngoro yothe.
3 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.
Matirĩ ũndũ mũũru mekaga; no kũgera mageragĩra njĩra ciake.
4 You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.
Wee nĩũheanĩte mawatho marĩa marĩ ma gwathĩkagĩrwo na kĩyo.
5 Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes!
Naarĩ korwo mĩthiĩre yakwa ĩkĩrĩ mĩkindĩrĩku ũhoro-inĩ wa gwathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku!
6 Then I wouldn’t be disappointed, when I consider all of your commandments.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndingĩconorithio rĩrĩa ngũcũũrania maathani maku mothe.
7 I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments.
Nĩndĩrĩkũgoocaga ndĩ na ngoro nũngĩrĩru, o ngĩĩrutaga ũhoro wa mawatho maku ma kĩhooto.
8 I will observe your statutes. Don’t utterly forsake me.
Nĩndĩrĩathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku; ndũgakĩndiganĩrie o biũ.
9 BETH How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
Mũndũ mwĩthĩ-rĩ, angĩiga mũtũũrĩre wake ũrĩ mũtheru atĩa? Nĩ na ũndũ wa gũtũũra athĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
10 With my whole heart I have sought you. Don’t let me wander from your commandments.
Ngũrongoragia na ngoro yakwa yothe; ndũkanareke njũrũũre ndigane na maathani maku.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Nĩhithĩte kiugo gĩaku thĩinĩ wa ngoro yakwa, nĩguo ndikae gũkwĩhĩria.
12 Blessed are you, LORD. Teach me your statutes.
Wee Jehova, ũrokĩgoocwo; kĩndute kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
13 With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.
Nĩndĩriugaga na ngacookera na mĩromo yakwa ũhoro wa mawatho mothe marĩa moimĩte kanua gaku.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches.
Nĩngenagio nĩkũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ akenagĩra kũgĩa na ũtonga mũnene.
15 I will meditate on your precepts, and consider your ways.
Nĩndĩrĩcũũranagia mawatho maku na ngatarania njĩra yaku.
16 I will delight myself in your statutes. I will not forget your word.
Nĩngenagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku; ndigatiganĩria kiugo gĩaku.
17 GIMEL Do good to your servant. I will live and I will obey your word.
Niĩ ndungata yaku njĩka wega, na nĩngũtũũra muoyo; niĩ nĩndĩrĩathĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
18 Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law.
Hingũra maitho makwa nĩguo nyone maũndũ ma magegania marĩa marĩ watho-inĩ waku.
19 I am a stranger on the earth. Don’t hide your commandments from me.
Niĩ ndĩ mũgeni gũkũ thĩ; ndũkaahithe maathani maku.
20 My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times.
Ngoro yakwa nĩĩrahĩĩahĩĩa nĩ kwĩrirĩria mawatho maku o mahinda mothe.
21 You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from your commandments.
Wee nĩũkũũmaga arĩa etĩĩi, o acio manyiitĩtwo nĩ kĩrumi, na arĩa morũũraga magatiga maathani maku.
22 Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your statutes.
Njehereria kĩnyũrũri na kũmenwo, nĩgũkorwo ndũũrĩte nũmĩtie kĩrĩra gĩaku.
23 Though princes sit and slander me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.
O na gũtuĩka aathani maikaraga thĩ hamwe makanjambia, ndungata yaku nĩĩrĩcũũranagia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
24 Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors.
Kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩkĩo ngenagĩra; nĩkĩo kĩĩheaga mataaro.
25 DALETH My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word!
Ngometio thĩ rũkũngũ-inĩ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
26 I declared my ways, and you answered me. Teach me your statutes.
Nĩndakwĩrire mĩthiĩre yakwa nawe ũkĩnjĩtĩka; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
27 Let me understand the teaching of your precepts! Then I will meditate on your wondrous works.
Menyithia ũrutani wa mawatho maku; na niĩ nĩndĩrĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa magegania maku.
28 My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.
Ngoro yakwa nĩ nogu nĩ ũndũ wa kĩeha; njĩkĩra hinya kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
29 Keep me from the way of deceit. Grant me your law graciously!
Njeheranĩria na mĩthiĩre ya maheeni; nĩ ũndũ wa ũtugi waku nduta watho waku.
30 I have chosen the way of truth. I have set your ordinances before me.
Niĩ-rĩ, ndĩĩthuurĩire njĩra ya ma; matua maku ndĩmaigĩte ngoro-inĩ yakwa.
31 I cling to your statutes, LORD. Don’t let me be disappointed.
Wee Jehova, nĩnũmĩtie kĩrĩra gĩaku; ndũkanareke njonorithio.
32 I run in the path of your commandments, for you have set my heart free.
Hanyũkaga o na njĩra ya maathani maku, nĩgũkorwo nĩwohorithĩtie ngoro yakwa.
33 HE Teach me, LORD, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end.
Wee Jehova, nduta kũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, na niĩ ndĩkĩrũmie nginya mũthia.
34 Give me understanding, and I will keep your law. Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart.
He ũmenyo, na nĩndĩrĩrũmagia watho waku na ndĩwathĩkagĩre na ngoro yakwa yothe.
35 Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in them.
Ngeragĩria njĩra-inĩ cia maathani maku, nĩgũkorwo nĩmo ngenagĩra.
36 Turn my heart toward your statutes, not toward selfish gain.
Erekeria ngoro yakwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku, nĩguo ĩtige kwerekera ũhoro-inĩ wa gwĩtongia.
37 Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways.
Girĩrĩria maitho makwa matige kwĩrorera maũndũ ma tũhũ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
38 Fulfill your promise to your servant, that you may be feared.
Hingĩria ndungata yaku kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, nĩgeetha wĩtigagĩrwo.
39 Take away my disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances are good.
Njehereria njono iria ndĩĩtigagĩra, nĩgũkorwo mawatho maku nĩ mega.
40 Behold, I long for your precepts! Revive me in your righteousness.
Kaĩ nĩndĩĩriragĩria mawatho maku-ĩ! Tũũria muoyo wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku.
41 VAV Let your loving kindness also come to me, LORD, your salvation, according to your word.
Wee Jehova, wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũronginyĩra, ũhonokio waku ũnginyĩre kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku;
42 So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in your word.
nĩguo ngoragwo na ũndũ wa gũcookeria andũ arĩa maanyũrũragia, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩhokete kiugo gĩaku.
43 Don’t snatch the word of truth out of my mouth, for I put my hope in your ordinances.
Ndũkandunye kiugo kĩa ma kuuma kanua-inĩ gakwa, nĩgũkorwo njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa mawatho-inĩ maku.
44 So I will obey your law continually, forever and ever.
Ngũtũũra njathĩkagĩra watho waku, nginya tene na tene.
45 I will walk in liberty, for I have sought your precepts.
Ndĩrĩthiiaga ndĩ na wĩyathi, nĩgũkorwo nĩmaathaga mawatho maku.
46 I will also speak of your statutes before kings, and will not be disappointed.
Nĩndĩrĩaragia ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku mbere ya athamaki na ndirĩconokaga,
47 I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.
nĩgũkorwo nĩngenagĩra maathani maku tondũ nĩndĩmendete.
48 I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes.
Ndĩrĩambararagia moko makwa kũrĩ maathani maku marĩa nyendete, na ndĩcũũranagie igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
49 ZAYIN Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope.
Ririkana kiugo gĩaku kũrĩ ndungata yaku, nĩgũkorwo nĩũũheete kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me.
Ũndũ ũrĩa ũũhooreragia ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ nĩ ũyũ: atĩ kĩĩranĩro gĩaku nĩkĩo gĩtũũragia muoyo wakwa.
51 The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don’t swerve from your law.
Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maanyũrũragia matekwĩgirĩrĩria, no nditiganagĩria watho waku.
52 I remember your ordinances of old, LORD, and have comforted myself.
Nĩndirikanaga mawatho maku ma tene, Wee Jehova, namo nĩmahooreragia.
53 Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who forsake your law.
Nyiitagwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa aaganu, o acio maatiganĩirie watho waku.
54 Your statutes have been my songs in the house where I live.
Ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩguo ũtuĩkĩte rwĩmbo rwakwa, o kũrĩa guothe ingĩikara.
55 I have remembered your name, LORD, in the night, and I obey your law.
Ũtukũ ndirikanaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, ngakĩrũmia watho waku Wee Jehova.
56 This is my way, that I keep your precepts.
Ũũ nĩguo ngoretwo ngĩĩka: nĩnjathĩkagĩra mawatho maku.
57 HETH The LORD is my portion. I promised to obey your words.
Wee Jehova, Wee nĩwe igai rĩakwa; nĩngwĩrĩte atĩ ndĩathĩkagĩra ciugo ciaku.
58 I sought your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.
Maathĩĩte ũthiũ waku na ngoro yakwa yothe; nginyagĩria wega waku o ta ũrĩa wĩranĩire.
59 I considered my ways, and turned my steps to your statutes.
Nĩndĩcũũranĩtie ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yakwa, ngagĩcookia makinya makwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
60 I will hurry, and not delay, to obey your commandments.
Nĩngũhiũha na ndigũcererwo gwathĩkĩra maathani maku.
61 The ropes of the wicked bind me, but I won’t forget your law.
O na kũngĩtuĩka atĩ andũ arĩa aaganu no manjohe na mĩhĩndo-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of your righteous ordinances.
Ũtukũ gatagatĩ njarahũkaga ngũcookerie ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku ma kĩhooto.
63 I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe your precepts.
Niĩ ndĩ mũrata wa andũ arĩa othe magwĩtigĩrĩte, o arĩa othe marũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku.
64 The earth is full of your loving kindness, LORD. Teach me your statutes.
Wee Jehova, thĩ ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo waku; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
65 TETH You have treated your servant well, according to your word, LORD.
Wee Jehova, ĩka ndungata yaku kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.
Nduta gũkũũrana maũndũ wega o na kũmamenya, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie maathani maku.
67 Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word.
Mbere itanoona thĩĩna nĩndahĩtagia, no rĩu nĩnjathĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
68 You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.
Wee ũrĩ mwega, na nĩwĩkaga o wega; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
69 The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts.
O na gũtuĩka andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmahakĩte gĩko na ndeto cia maheeni, ngũtũũra nũmĩtie mawatho maku na ngoro yakwa yothe.
70 Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your law.
Ngoro ciao nĩ nyũmũ na itirĩ tha, no niĩ ngenagĩra watho waku.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.
Warĩ ũndũ mwega niĩ nyone thĩĩna, nĩgeetha ndĩĩrute kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces 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 Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
Moko maku nĩmo manyũmbire na magĩĩthondeka ũguo ndariĩ; he ũtaũku nĩguo ndĩĩrute maathani maku.
74 Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word.
Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte marokenaga rĩrĩa maanyona, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
75 LORD, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
Jehova, nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mawatho maku nĩ ma ũthingu, na ũnyonetie thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku.
76 Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant.
Wendani waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũrotuĩka wa kũũhooreria, kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩrĩa werĩire ndungata yaku.
77 Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.
Ĩtĩkĩra tha ciaku inginyĩre nĩguo ndũũre muoyo, nĩgũkorwo watho waku nĩguo ngenagĩra.
78 Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.
Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maroconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa kũnjĩka ũũru hatarĩ gĩtũmi; no niĩ-rĩ, ndĩrĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
79 Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your statutes.
Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte maronjookerera, o acio mataũkĩirwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
80 Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be disappointed.
Ngoro yakwa ĩroaga ũcuuke ũhoro-inĩ wa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩguo ndikanaconorithio.
81 KAPF My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.
Ngoro yakwa ĩringĩkaga nĩ kwĩrirĩria ũhonokio waku, no niĩ njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
82 My eyes fail for your word. I say, “When will you comfort me?”
Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩ gũtũũra njũthĩrĩirie kĩĩranĩro gĩaku; ngakĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgaakĩĩhooreria rĩ?”
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.
O na gũtuĩka haana ta mondo ya rũũa ya ndibei ĩigĩtwo ndogo-inĩ, ndiriganagĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
Niĩ ndungata yaku-rĩ, ngweterera nginya rĩ? Arĩa maanyariiraga ũkaamaherithia rĩ?
85 The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.
Andũ arĩa etĩĩi manyenjeire marima nĩguo ngwe kuo, o acio makararagia watho waku.
86 All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!
Maathani maku mothe nĩ ma kwĩhokwo; ndeithia, nĩgũkorwo andũ maanyariiraga hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
87 They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I didn’t forsake your precepts.
Maatigĩtie hanini maaniine nyume thĩ ĩno, no nditiganĩirie mawatho maku.
88 Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth.
Menyerera muoyo wakwa kũringana na wendo waku, na ndĩathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩa kanua gaku.
89 LAMEDH LORD, your word is settled in heaven forever.
Wee Jehova, kiugo gĩaku gĩtũũraga tene na tene; gĩtũũraga kĩĩhaandĩte wega kũu igũrũ.
90 Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains.
Wĩhokeku waku nĩ wa kuuma njiarwa nginya njiarwa; nĩwe warũmirie thĩ, nayo ĩgagĩikara o ĩrũmĩte.
91 Your laws remain to this day, for all things serve you.
Mawatho maku matũũraga nginya ũmũthĩ, nĩgũkorwo indo ciothe nĩwe itungataga.
92 Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
Korwo watho waku tiguo ũngenagia, ingĩanathira nĩ mĩnyamaro yakwa.
93 I will never forget your precepts, for with them, you have revived me.
Niĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaariganĩrwo nĩ mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo ũndũũrĩtie muoyo nĩ ũndũ wamo.
94 I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.
Honokia, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ waku, na nĩĩmaathĩte mawatho maku.
95 The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider your statutes.
Andũ arĩa aaganu manjoheirie nĩguo maaniine, no niĩ ndĩrĩĩcũũranagia o ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commands are boundless.
Ũndũ o wothe mũkinyanĩru wega, nĩnyonete nĩ ũrĩ mũthia; no maathani maku matirĩ mũhaka.
97 MEM How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.
Kaĩ nĩnyendete watho waku-ĩ! Ndindaga ngĩtarania ũhoro waguo mũthenya wothe.
98 Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for your commandments are always with me.
Maathani maku matũmaga njũhĩge gũkĩra thũ ciakwa, nĩgũkorwo makoragwo hamwe na niĩ hĩndĩ ciothe.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my (meditation)
Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra arutani akwa othe, nĩgũkorwo ndaranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
100 I understand more than the aged, because I have kept your precepts.
Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra athuuri, nĩgũkorwo njathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku.
101 I have kept my feet from every evil way, that I might observe your word.
Nĩndigagĩrĩria magũrũ makwa matikagerere njĩra o yothe njũru, nĩgeetha njathĩkagĩre kiugo gĩaku.
102 I have not turned away from your ordinances, for you have taught me.
Niĩ nditiganĩirie mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe ũndutĩte ũhoro ũcio.
103 How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!
Kaĩ ciugo ciaku irĩ mũrĩo ngĩcicama-ĩ, irĩ mũrĩo gũkĩra ũũkĩ ũrĩ kanua-inĩ gakwa!
104 Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
Ngĩĩaga na ũtaũku nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩra gĩaku; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩthũire njĩra o yothe njũru.
105 NUN Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.
Kiugo gĩaku nĩkĩo tawa wa magũrũ makwa, na ũtheri wa kũmũrĩka njĩra yakwa.
106 I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will obey your righteous ordinances.
Nĩndĩĩhĩtĩte mwĩhĩtwa na ngagwatĩria, atĩ nĩndĩrĩrũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku ma ũthingu.
107 I am afflicted very much. Revive me, LORD, according to your word.
Nĩthĩĩnĩkĩte mũno; Wee Jehova, tũũria muoyo wakwa, kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
108 Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth. LORD, teach me your ordinances.
Wee Jehova, ĩtĩkĩra ũgooci wa kwĩyendera wa kanua gakwa, na ũkĩndute mawatho maku.
109 My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won’t forget your law.
O na gũtuĩka ndũũraga nyiitĩrĩire muoyo wakwa moko-inĩ makwa-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I haven’t gone astray from your precepts.
Andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmanyambĩire mũtego, no ndirĩ ndahĩtia kĩrĩra gĩaku.
111 I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
Mawatho maku nĩmo igai rĩakwa nginya tene; nĩmo gĩkeno kĩa ngoro yakwa.
112 I have set my heart to perform your statutes forever, even to the end.
Ngoro yakwa nĩĩtuĩte kũrũmagia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku o nginya mũthia.
113 SAMEKH I hate double-minded men, but I love your law.
Nĩthũire andũ a ngoro igĩrĩ, no nĩnyendete watho waku.
114 You are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in your word.
Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa na ngo yakwa; njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa kiugo-inĩ gĩaku.
115 Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
Njehererai, inyuĩ eeki ũũru, nĩguo ngĩrũmie maathani ma Ngai wakwa!
116 Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope.
Nyiitagĩrĩra kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, na nĩngũtũũra muoyo; ndũkareke kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa kĩharagane.
117 Hold me up, and I will be safe, and will have respect for your statutes continually.
Ndiiragĩrĩra, na nĩngũhonokio; ngũtũũra ndĩĩte uuge waku.
118 You reject all those who stray from your statutes, for their deceit is in vain.
Nĩũregaga arĩa othe matiganaga na kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩgũkorwo kwĩheenia kũu meheenagia nakuo nĩ gwa tũhũ.
119 You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross. Therefore I love your testimonies.
Arĩa othe aaganu a gũkũ thĩ ũmateaga ta gĩko; nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩnyendete kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
120 My flesh trembles for fear of you. I am afraid of your judgments.
Mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩũinainaga nĩgũgwĩtigĩra; njikaraga na guoya mũnene nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku.
121 AYIN I have done what is just and righteous. Don’t leave me to my oppressors.
Niĩ njĩkĩte maũndũ ma ũthingu na ma kĩhooto; ndũkandiganĩrie harĩ arĩa maahinyagĩrĩria.
122 Ensure your servant’s well-being. Don’t let the proud oppress me.
Menyerera ũgima wa ndungata yaku; ndũkareke andũ arĩa etĩĩi maahinyĩrĩrie.
123 My eyes fail looking for your salvation, for your righteous word.
Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩgũtũũra njũũthĩrĩirie ũhonokio waku, ngacũthĩrĩria kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩa ũthingu.
124 Deal with your servant according to your loving kindness. Teach me your statutes.
Ĩkaga ndungata yaku kũringana na wendo waku, na ũndutage kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
125 I am your servant. Give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.
Niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku; he gũkũũrana maũndũ, nĩguo hote gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
126 It is time to act, LORD, for they break your law.
Wee Jehova, hĩndĩ nĩnginyu wĩke ũndũ, tondũ andũ nĩmathũkĩtie watho waku.
127 Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than pure gold.
Tondũ nĩnyendete maathani maku gũkĩra thahabu, ngamenda mũno gũkĩra thahabu ĩrĩa therie,
128 Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.
na tondũ nĩnduĩte mawatho maku mothe nĩmagĩrĩire, nĩthũire njĩra o yothe ĩtarĩ ya ma.
129 PE Your testimonies are wonderful, therefore my soul keeps them.
