2 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa marũmagia kĩrĩra gĩake, o arĩa mamũrongoragia na ngoro yothe.
Blessed are they who search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart.
3 Matirĩ ũndũ mũũru mekaga; no kũgera mageragĩra njĩra ciake.
For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways.
4 Wee nĩũheanĩte mawatho marĩa marĩ ma gwathĩkagĩrwo na kĩyo.
Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently.
5 Naarĩ korwo mĩthiĩre yakwa ĩkĩrĩ mĩkindĩrĩku ũhoro-inĩ wa gwathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku!

I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me.
9 Mũndũ mwĩthĩ-rĩ, angĩiga mũtũũrĩre wake ũrĩ mũtheru atĩa? Nĩ na ũndũ wa gũtũũra athĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
BETH. By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.
10 Ngũrongoragia na ngoro yakwa yothe; ndũkanareke njũrũũre ndigane na maathani maku.
With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.
11 Nĩhithĩte kiugo gĩaku thĩinĩ wa ngoro yakwa, nĩguo ndikae gũkwĩhĩria.
Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.

With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth.

Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.
19 Niĩ ndĩ mũgeni gũkũ thĩ; ndũkaahithe maathani maku.
I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
20 Ngoro yakwa nĩĩrahĩĩahĩĩa nĩ kwĩrirĩria mawatho maku o mahinda mothe.
My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times.
21 Wee nĩũkũũmaga arĩa etĩĩi, o acio manyiitĩtwo nĩ kĩrumi, na arĩa morũũraga magatiga maathani maku.
Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments.

For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.
24 Kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩkĩo ngenagĩra; nĩkĩo kĩĩheaga mataaro.
For thy testimonies are my (meditation) and thy justifications my counsel.
25 Ngometio thĩ rũkũngũ-inĩ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
DALETH. My soul hath cleaved to the pavement: quicken thou me according to thy word.
26 Nĩndakwĩrire mĩthiĩre yakwa nawe ũkĩnjĩtĩka; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
I have declared my ways, and thou hast heard me: teach me thy justifications.
27 Menyithia ũrutani wa mawatho maku; na niĩ nĩndĩrĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa magegania maku.
Make me to understand the way of thy justifications: and I shall be exercised in thy wondrous works.
28 Ngoro yakwa nĩ nogu nĩ ũndũ wa kĩeha; njĩkĩra hinya kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.

HE. Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it.
34 He ũmenyo, na nĩndĩrĩrũmagia watho waku na ndĩwathĩkagĩre na ngoro yakwa yothe.
Give me understanding, and I will search thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.
35 Ngeragĩria njĩra-inĩ cia maathani maku, nĩgũkorwo nĩmo ngenagĩra.
Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired.
36 Erekeria ngoro yakwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku, nĩguo ĩtige kwerekera ũhoro-inĩ wa gwĩtongia.
Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness.
37 Girĩrĩria maitho makwa matige kwĩrorera maũndũ ma tũhũ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way.
38 Hingĩria ndungata yaku kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, nĩgeetha wĩtigagĩrwo.
Establish thy word to thy servant, in thy fear.
39 Njehereria njono iria ndĩĩtigagĩra, nĩgũkorwo mawatho maku nĩ mega.
Turn away my reproach, which I have apprehended: for thy judgments are delightful.
40 Kaĩ nĩndĩĩriragĩria mawatho maku-ĩ! Tũũria muoyo wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku.
Behold I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy justice.
41 Wee Jehova, wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũronginyĩra, ũhonokio waku ũnginyĩre kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku;
VAU. Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word.
42 nĩguo ngoragwo na ũndũ wa gũcookeria andũ arĩa maanyũrũragia, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩhokete kiugo gĩaku.
So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words.
43 Ndũkandunye kiugo kĩa ma kuuma kanua-inĩ gakwa, nĩgũkorwo njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa mawatho-inĩ maku.
And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words have I hoped exceedingly.
44 Ngũtũũra njathĩkagĩra watho waku, nginya tene na tene.
So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever.
45 Ndĩrĩthiiaga ndĩ na wĩyathi, nĩgũkorwo nĩmaathaga mawatho maku.
And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.
46 Nĩndĩrĩaragia ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku mbere ya athamaki na ndirĩconokaga,
And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed.
47 nĩgũkorwo nĩngenagĩra maathani maku tondũ nĩndĩmendete.
I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved.
48 Ndĩrĩambararagia moko makwa kũrĩ maathani maku marĩa nyendete, na ndĩcũũranagie igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications.
49 Ririkana kiugo gĩaku kũrĩ ndungata yaku, nĩgũkorwo nĩũũheete kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.
ZAIN. Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope.
50 Ũndũ ũrĩa ũũhooreragia ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ nĩ ũyũ: atĩ kĩĩranĩro gĩaku nĩkĩo gĩtũũragia muoyo wakwa.
This hath comforted me in my humiliation: because thy word hath enlivened me.
51 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maanyũrũragia matekwĩgirĩrĩria, no nditiganagĩria watho waku.
The proud did iniquitously altogether: but I declined not from thy law.
52 Nĩndirikanaga mawatho maku ma tene, Wee Jehova, namo nĩmahooreragia.
I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted.
53 Nyiitagwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa aaganu, o acio maatiganĩirie watho waku.
A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
54 Ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩguo ũtuĩkĩte rwĩmbo rwakwa, o kũrĩa guothe ingĩikara.
Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage.
55 Ũtukũ ndirikanaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, ngakĩrũmia watho waku Wee Jehova.
In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law.
56 Ũũ nĩguo ngoretwo ngĩĩka: nĩnjathĩkagĩra mawatho maku.
This happened to me: because I sought after thy justifications.
57 Wee Jehova, Wee nĩwe igai rĩakwa; nĩngwĩrĩte atĩ ndĩathĩkagĩra ciugo ciaku.
HETH. O Lord, my portion, I have said, I would keep the law.
58 Maathĩĩte ũthiũ waku na ngoro yakwa yothe; nginyagĩria wega waku o ta ũrĩa wĩranĩire.
I entreated thy face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to thy word.
59 Nĩndĩcũũranĩtie ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yakwa, ngagĩcookia makinya makwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I have thought on my ways: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
60 Nĩngũhiũha na ndigũcererwo gwathĩkĩra maathani maku.
I am ready, and am not troubled: that I may keep thy commandments.
61 O na kũngĩtuĩka atĩ andũ arĩa aaganu no manjohe na mĩhĩndo-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
62 Ũtukũ gatagatĩ njarahũkaga ngũcookerie ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku ma kĩhooto.
I rose at midnight to give praise to thee; for the judgments of thy justification.
63 Niĩ ndĩ mũrata wa andũ arĩa othe magwĩtigĩrĩte, o arĩa othe marũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku.
I am a partaker with all them that fear thee, and that keep thy commandments.
64 Wee Jehova, thĩ ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo waku; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy justifications.
65 Wee Jehova, ĩka ndungata yaku kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
TETH. Thou hast done well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.
66 Nduta gũkũũrana maũndũ wega o na kũmamenya, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie maathani maku.
Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Mbere itanoona thĩĩna nĩndahĩtagia, no rĩu nĩnjathĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
Before I was humbled I offended; therefore have I kept thy word.
68 Wee ũrĩ mwega, na nĩwĩkaga o wega; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications.
69 O na gũtuĩka andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmahakĩte gĩko na ndeto cia maheeni, ngũtũũra nũmĩtie mawatho maku na ngoro yakwa yothe.
The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart.
70 Ngoro ciao nĩ nyũmũ na itirĩ tha, no niĩ ngenagĩra watho waku.
Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law.
71 Warĩ ũndũ mwega niĩ nyone thĩĩna, nĩgeetha ndĩĩrute kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications.
72 Watho ũrĩa uumĩte kanua gaku nĩ wa bata mũno harĩ niĩ, gũkĩra ngiri cia icunjĩ cia betha na thahabu.
The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver.
73 Moko maku nĩmo manyũmbire na magĩĩthondeka ũguo ndariĩ; he ũtaũku nĩguo ndĩĩrute maathani maku.
JOD. Thy hands have made me and formed me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.
74 Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte marokenaga rĩrĩa maanyona, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
They that fear thee shall see me, and shall be glad: because I have greatly hoped in thy words.
75 Jehova, nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mawatho maku nĩ ma ũthingu, na ũnyonetie thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku.
I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are equity: and in thy truth thou hast humbled me.
76 Wendani waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũrotuĩka wa kũũhooreria, kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩrĩa werĩire ndungata yaku.
O! let thy mercy be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
77 Ĩtĩkĩra tha ciaku inginyĩre nĩguo ndũũre muoyo, nĩgũkorwo watho waku nĩguo ngenagĩra.
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my (meditation)
78 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maroconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa kũnjĩka ũũru hatarĩ gĩtũmi; no niĩ-rĩ, ndĩrĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
Let the proud be ashamed, because they have done unjustly towards me: but I will be employed in thy commandments.
79 Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte maronjookerera, o acio mataũkĩirwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
Let them that fear thee turn to me and they that know thy testimonies.
80 Ngoro yakwa ĩroaga ũcuuke ũhoro-inĩ wa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩguo ndikanaconorithio.
Let my heart be undefiled in thy justifications, that I may not be confounded.
81 Ngoro yakwa ĩringĩkaga nĩ kwĩrirĩria ũhonokio waku, no niĩ njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
CAPH. My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: and in thy word I have very much hoped.
82 Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩ gũtũũra njũthĩrĩirie kĩĩranĩro gĩaku; ngakĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgaakĩĩhooreria rĩ?”
My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
83 O na gũtuĩka haana ta mondo ya rũũa ya ndibei ĩigĩtwo ndogo-inĩ, ndiriganagĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications.
84 Niĩ ndungata yaku-rĩ, ngweterera nginya rĩ? Arĩa maanyariiraga ũkaamaherithia rĩ?
How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi manyenjeire marima nĩguo ngwe kuo, o acio makararagia watho waku.
The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law.
86 Maathani maku mothe nĩ ma kwĩhokwo; ndeithia, nĩgũkorwo andũ maanyariiraga hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
All thy statutes are truth: they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.
87 Maatigĩtie hanini maaniine nyume thĩ ĩno, no nditiganĩirie mawatho maku.
They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I have not forsaken thy commandments.
88 Menyerera muoyo wakwa kũringana na wendo waku, na ndĩathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩa kanua gaku.
Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
89 Wee Jehova, kiugo gĩaku gĩtũũraga tene na tene; gĩtũũraga kĩĩhaandĩte wega kũu igũrũ.
LAMED. For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven.
90 Wĩhokeku waku nĩ wa kuuma njiarwa nginya njiarwa; nĩwe warũmirie thĩ, nayo ĩgagĩikara o ĩrũmĩte.
Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
91 Mawatho maku matũũraga nginya ũmũthĩ, nĩgũkorwo indo ciothe nĩwe itungataga.
By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee.
92 Korwo watho waku tiguo ũngenagia, ingĩanathira nĩ mĩnyamaro yakwa.
Unless thy law had been my (meditation) I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
93 Niĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaariganĩrwo nĩ mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo ũndũũrĩtie muoyo nĩ ũndũ wamo.
Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life.
94 Honokia, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ waku, na nĩĩmaathĩte mawatho maku.
I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications.
95 Andũ arĩa aaganu manjoheirie nĩguo maaniine, no niĩ ndĩrĩĩcũũranagia o ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku.
The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I have understood thy testimonies.
96 Ũndũ o wothe mũkinyanĩru wega, nĩnyonete nĩ ũrĩ mũthia; no maathani maku matirĩ mũhaka.
I have seen an end to all persecution: thy commandment is exceeding broad.
97 Kaĩ nĩnyendete watho waku-ĩ! Ndindaga ngĩtarania ũhoro waguo mũthenya wothe.
MEM. O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.
98 Maathani maku matũmaga njũhĩge gũkĩra thũ ciakwa, nĩgũkorwo makoragwo hamwe na niĩ hĩndĩ ciothe.
Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me.
99 Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra arutani akwa othe, nĩgũkorwo ndaranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my (meditation)
100 Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra athuuri, nĩgũkorwo njathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments.
101 Nĩndigagĩrĩria magũrũ makwa matikagerere njĩra o yothe njũru, nĩgeetha njathĩkagĩre kiugo gĩaku.
I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words.
102 Niĩ nditiganĩirie mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe ũndutĩte ũhoro ũcio.
I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law.
103 Kaĩ ciugo ciaku irĩ mũrĩo ngĩcicama-ĩ, irĩ mũrĩo gũkĩra ũũkĩ ũrĩ kanua-inĩ gakwa!
How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.
104 Ngĩĩaga na ũtaũku nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩra gĩaku; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩthũire njĩra o yothe njũru.
By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.
105 Kiugo gĩaku nĩkĩo tawa wa magũrũ makwa, na ũtheri wa kũmũrĩka njĩra yakwa.
NUN. Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.
106 Nĩndĩĩhĩtĩte mwĩhĩtwa na ngagwatĩria, atĩ nĩndĩrĩrũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku ma ũthingu.
I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.
107 Nĩthĩĩnĩkĩte mũno; Wee Jehova, tũũria muoyo wakwa, kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word.
108 Wee Jehova, ĩtĩkĩra ũgooci wa kwĩyendera wa kanua gakwa, na ũkĩndute mawatho maku.
The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments.
109 O na gũtuĩka ndũũraga nyiitĩrĩire muoyo wakwa moko-inĩ makwa-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law.
110 Andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmanyambĩire mũtego, no ndirĩ ndahĩtia kĩrĩra gĩaku.
Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts.
111 Mawatho maku nĩmo igai rĩakwa nginya tene; nĩmo gĩkeno kĩa ngoro yakwa.
I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart.
112 Ngoro yakwa nĩĩtuĩte kũrũmagia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku o nginya mũthia.
I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward.
113 Nĩthũire andũ a ngoro igĩrĩ, no nĩnyendete watho waku.
SAMECH. I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law.
114 Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa na ngo yakwa; njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa kiugo-inĩ gĩaku.
Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped.
115 Njehererai, inyuĩ eeki ũũru, nĩguo ngĩrũmie maathani ma Ngai wakwa!
Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God.
116 Nyiitagĩrĩra kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, na nĩngũtũũra muoyo; ndũkareke kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa kĩharagane.
Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation.
117 Ndiiragĩrĩra, na nĩngũhonokio; ngũtũũra ndĩĩte uuge waku.
Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications.
118 Nĩũregaga arĩa othe matiganaga na kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩgũkorwo kwĩheenia kũu meheenagia nakuo nĩ gwa tũhũ.
Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust.
119 Arĩa othe aaganu a gũkũ thĩ ũmateaga ta gĩko; nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩnyendete kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies.
120 Mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩũinainaga nĩgũgwĩtigĩra; njikaraga na guoya mũnene nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku.
Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments.
121 Niĩ njĩkĩte maũndũ ma ũthingu na ma kĩhooto; ndũkandiganĩrie harĩ arĩa maahinyagĩrĩria.
AIN. I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me.
122 Menyerera ũgima wa ndungata yaku; ndũkareke andũ arĩa etĩĩi maahinyĩrĩrie.
Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me.
123 Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩgũtũũra njũũthĩrĩirie ũhonokio waku, ngacũthĩrĩria kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩa ũthingu.
My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice.
124 Ĩkaga ndungata yaku kũringana na wendo waku, na ũndutage kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications.
125 Niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku; he gũkũũrana maũndũ, nĩguo hote gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.
126 Wee Jehova, hĩndĩ nĩnginyu wĩke ũndũ, tondũ andũ nĩmathũkĩtie watho waku.
It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law.
127 Tondũ nĩnyendete maathani maku gũkĩra thahabu, ngamenda mũno gũkĩra thahabu ĩrĩa therie,
