The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.
86 Maathani maku mothe nĩ ma kwĩhokwo; ndeithia, nĩgũkorwo andũ maanyariiraga hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!
87 Maatigĩtie hanini maaniine nyume thĩ ĩno, no nditiganĩirie mawatho maku.
They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I did not forsake your precepts.

Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth.

109 O na gũtuĩka ndũũraga nyiitĩrĩire muoyo wakwa moko-inĩ makwa-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
My soul is continually in my hand, yet I will not forget your law.
110 Andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmanyambĩire mũtego, no ndirĩ ndahĩtia kĩrĩra gĩaku.
The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I have not gone astray from your precepts.
