Thaburi 113

1 Goocai Jehova. Mũgoocei, inyuĩ ndungata cia Jehova, mũgooce rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

2 Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova rĩrogoocwo, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene.

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

3 Kuuma o irathĩro rĩa riũa nginya ithũĩro rĩarĩo, rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova nĩrĩgoocagwo.

From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 Jehova nĩatũũgĩrĩtio igũrũ rĩa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, riiri wake ũrĩ igũrũ rĩa igũrũ.

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

5 Nũũ ũhaana ta Jehova Ngai witũ, o Ũcio ũikaragĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kũu igũrũ,

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

6 o ũcio ũinamagĩrĩra arorererie maũndũ ma igũrũ o na ma thĩ?

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

7 Oyaga athĩĩni na igũrũ kuuma rũkũngũ-inĩ, na agokĩria arĩa abatari, akamaruta kĩhumbu-inĩ kĩa mũhu;

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

8 amaikaragia hamwe na anene, o hamwe na anene a andũ ao.

to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

9 Atũmaga mũtumia thaata atũũre gwake mũciĩ, agatuĩka nyina wa ciana, agakenaga. Goocai Jehova.

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
