Thaburi 101

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Niĩ ndĩinaga ũhoro wa wendo na wa kĩhooto gĩaku; Wee Jehova nĩwe ndĩrĩgoocaga na rwĩmbo.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

2 Nĩngwĩmenyerera ndũũre mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ ũcuuke: nĩ rĩ ũgaagĩũka kũrĩ niĩ? Nĩndĩrĩikaraga mũciĩ gwakwa ndĩ na ngoro ĩtarĩ ũcuuke.

I will ponder the way that is blameless— when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

3 Gũtirĩ ũndũ mũũru ndĩrĩigaga mbere ya maitho makwa. Nĩthũire ciĩko cia andũ arĩa matarĩ wĩtĩkio; ndingĩĩtĩkĩra menyiitĩrĩre harĩ niĩ.

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

4 Ndĩrĩikaraga haraihu na andũ arĩa marĩ ngoro nemi; ũũru-rĩ, ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaanyiitanĩra naguo.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

5 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩcambia mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake na hitho, ũcio nĩngamũniina; mũndũ o wothe ũrĩ maitho ma rũngʼathio na ngoro ya mwĩtĩĩo, ũcio ndikamũkirĩrĩria.

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

6 Maitho makwa-rĩ, marĩroraga andũ arĩa ehokeku bũrũri-inĩ, nĩguo maikaranagie na niĩ; mũndũ ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yake ĩtarĩ ũcuuke-rĩ, ũcio nĩarĩndungatagĩra.

My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.

7 Gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩkaga maũndũ ma mawara ũgaikara nyũmba-inĩ yakwa; gũtirĩ mũndũ waragia maheeni ũkaarũgama mbere yakwa.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

8 O rũciinĩ nĩndĩrĩkiragia arĩa othe aaganu bũrũri-inĩ; nĩngeheria andũ arĩa othe mekaga ũũru mathire itũũra-inĩ rĩrĩa inene rĩa Jehova.

Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
