[even] them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death, fettered in poverty and iron;
11 nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire ciugo cia Mũrungu, o na makĩagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno bata.

He speaks, and the stormy wind arises, and its waves are lifted up.
26 Marikabu igĩikanio na igũrũ, na igĩcooka igĩikanio na kũu thĩ kũrĩa kũriku; andũ acio magĩkua ngoro nĩ ũndũ marĩ ũgwati-inĩ mũnene.
They go up to the heavens, and go down to the depths; their soul melts because of troubles.
