Blessed are they that search out his testimonies: they will diligently seek him with the 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.
You have commanded [us] diligently to keep your precepts.

9 Mũndũ mwĩthĩ-rĩ, angĩiga mũtũũrĩre wake ũrĩ mũtheru atĩa? Nĩ na ũndũ wa gũtũũra athĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
Wherewith shall a young man direct his way? by keeping your words.
10 Ngũrongoragia na ngoro yakwa yothe; ndũkanareke njũrũũre ndigane na maathani maku.
With my whole heart have I diligently sought you: cast me not away from your commandments.
11 Nĩhithĩte kiugo gĩaku thĩinĩ wa ngoro yakwa, nĩguo ndikae gũkwĩhĩria.
I have hidden your oracles in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Unveil you mine eyes, and I shall perceive wondrous things of your law.
19 Niĩ ndĩ mũgeni gũkũ thĩ; ndũkaahithe maathani maku.
I am a stranger in the earth: hide not your commandments from me.
20 Ngoro yakwa nĩĩrahĩĩahĩĩa nĩ kwĩrirĩria mawatho maku o mahinda mothe.
My soul has longed exceedingly for your judgments at all times.
21 Wee nĩũkũũmaga arĩa etĩĩi, o acio manyiitĩtwo nĩ kĩrumi, na arĩa morũũraga magatiga maathani maku.
You have rebuked the proud: cursed are they that turn aside from your commandments.

For princes sat and spoke against me: but your servant was meditating on your ordinances.
24 Kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩkĩo ngenagĩra; nĩkĩo kĩĩheaga mataaro.
For your testimonies are my (meditation) and your ordinances are my counselors.
25 Ngometio thĩ rũkũngũ-inĩ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
My soul has cleaved to the ground; quicken you me according to your word.
26 Nĩndakwĩrire mĩthiĩre yakwa nawe ũkĩnjĩtĩka; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
I declared my ways, and you did hear me: teach me your ordinances.
27 Menyithia ũrutani wa mawatho maku; na niĩ nĩndĩrĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa magegania maku.
Instruct me in the way of your ordinances; and I will meditate on your wondrous works.

33 Wee Jehova, nduta kũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, na niĩ ndĩkĩrũmie nginya mũthia.
Teach me, O Lord, the way of your ordinances, and I will seek it out continually.
34 He ũmenyo, na nĩndĩrĩrũmagia watho waku na ndĩwathĩkagĩre na ngoro yakwa yothe.
Instruct me, and I will search out your law, and will keep it with my whole heart.
35 Ngeragĩria njĩra-inĩ cia maathani maku, nĩgũkorwo nĩmo ngenagĩra.
Guide me in the path of your commandments; for I have delighted in it.
36 Erekeria ngoro yakwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku, nĩguo ĩtige kwerekera ũhoro-inĩ wa gwĩtongia.
Incline mine heart to your testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37 Girĩrĩria maitho makwa matige kwĩrorera maũndũ ma tũhũ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
Turn away mine eyes that I may not behold vanity: quicken you me in your way.
38 Hingĩria ndungata yaku kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, nĩgeetha wĩtigagĩrwo.
Confirm your oracle to your servant, that he may fear you.
39 Njehereria njono iria ndĩĩtigagĩra, nĩgũkorwo mawatho maku nĩ mega.
Take away my reproach which I have feared: for your judgments are good.
40 Kaĩ nĩndĩĩriragĩria mawatho maku-ĩ! Tũũria muoyo wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku.
Behold, I have desired your commandments: quicken me in your righteousness.
41 Wee Jehova, wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũronginyĩra, ũhonokio waku ũnginyĩre kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku;
And let your mercy come upon me, O Lord; [even] your salvation, according to your word.
42 nĩguo ngoragwo na ũndũ wa gũcookeria andũ arĩa maanyũrũragia, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩhokete kiugo gĩaku.
And [so] I shall render an answer to them that reproach me: for I have trusted in your words.
43 Ndũkandunye kiugo kĩa ma kuuma kanua-inĩ gakwa, nĩgũkorwo njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa mawatho-inĩ maku.
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in your judgments. So shall I keep your law continually, for ever and ever.
44 Ngũtũũra njathĩkagĩra watho waku, nginya tene na tene.
45 Ndĩrĩthiiaga ndĩ na wĩyathi, nĩgũkorwo nĩmaathaga mawatho maku.
I walked also at large: for I sought out your commandments.
46 Nĩndĩrĩaragia ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku mbere ya athamaki na ndirĩconokaga,
And I spoke of your testimonies before kings, and was not ashamed.
47 nĩgũkorwo nĩngenagĩra maathani maku tondũ nĩndĩmendete.
And I meditated on your commandments, which I loved exceedingly.
48 Ndĩrĩambararagia moko makwa kũrĩ maathani maku marĩa nyendete, na ndĩcũũranagie igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
And I lifted up my hands to your commandments which I loved; and I meditated in your ordinances.
49 Ririkana kiugo gĩaku kũrĩ ndungata yaku, nĩgũkorwo nĩũũheete kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.
Remember your words to your servant, wherein you have made me hope.
50 Ũndũ ũrĩa ũũhooreragia ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ nĩ ũyũ: atĩ kĩĩranĩro gĩaku nĩkĩo gĩtũũragia muoyo wakwa.
This has comforted me in mine affliction: for your oracle has quickened me.
51 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maanyũrũragia matekwĩgirĩrĩria, no nditiganagĩria watho waku.
The proud have transgressed exceedingly; but I swerved not from your law.
52 Nĩndirikanaga mawatho maku ma tene, Wee Jehova, namo nĩmahooreragia.
I remembered your judgments of old, O Lord; and was comforted.
53 Nyiitagwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa aaganu, o acio maatiganĩirie watho waku.
Despair took hold upon me, because of the sinners who forsake your law.
54 Ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩguo ũtuĩkĩte rwĩmbo rwakwa, o kũrĩa guothe ingĩikara.
Your ordinances were my songs in the place of my sojourning.
55 Ũtukũ ndirikanaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, ngakĩrũmia watho waku Wee Jehova.
I remembered your name, O Lord, in the night, and kept your law.
56 Ũũ nĩguo ngoretwo ngĩĩka: nĩnjathĩkagĩra mawatho maku.
This I had, because I diligently sought your ordinances.
57 Wee Jehova, Wee nĩwe igai rĩakwa; nĩngwĩrĩte atĩ ndĩathĩkagĩra ciugo ciaku.
You are my portion, O Lord: I said that I would keep your law.
58 Maathĩĩte ũthiũ waku na ngoro yakwa yothe; nginyagĩria wega waku o ta ũrĩa wĩranĩire.
I implored your favor with my whole heart: have mercy upon me according to your word.
59 Nĩndĩcũũranĩtie ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yakwa, ngagĩcookia makinya makwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I thought on your ways, and turned my feet to your testimonies.
60 Nĩngũhiũha na ndigũcererwo gwathĩkĩra maathani maku.
I prepared myself, (and was not terrified, ) to keep your commandments.
61 O na kũngĩtuĩka atĩ andũ arĩa aaganu no manjohe na mĩhĩndo-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
The snares of sinners entangled me: but I forgot not your law.
62 Ũtukũ gatagatĩ njarahũkaga ngũcookerie ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku ma kĩhooto.
At midnight I arose, to give thanks to you for the judgments of your righteousness.
63 Niĩ ndĩ mũrata wa andũ arĩa othe magwĩtigĩrĩte, o arĩa othe marũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku.
I am a companion of all them that fear you, and of them that keep your commandments.
64 Wee Jehova, thĩ ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo waku; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
O Lord, the earth is full of your mercy: teach me your ordinances.
65 Wee Jehova, ĩka ndungata yaku kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
You have wrought kindly with your servant, o Lord, according to your word.
66 Nduta gũkũũrana maũndũ wega o na kũmamenya, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie maathani maku.
Teach me kindness, and instruction, and knowledge: for I have believed your commandments.
67 Mbere itanoona thĩĩna nĩndahĩtagia, no rĩu nĩnjathĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
Before I was afflicted, I transgressed; therefore have I kept your word.
68 Wee ũrĩ mwega, na nĩwĩkaga o wega; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
Good are you, O Lord; therefore in your goodness teach me your ordinances.
69 O na gũtuĩka andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmahakĩte gĩko na ndeto cia maheeni, ngũtũũra nũmĩtie mawatho maku na ngoro yakwa yothe.
The injustice of the proud has been multiplied against me: but I will search out your commandments with all my heart.
70 Ngoro ciao nĩ nyũmũ na itirĩ tha, no niĩ ngenagĩra watho waku.
Their heart has been curdled like milk; but I have meditated on your law.
71 Warĩ ũndũ mwega niĩ nyone thĩĩna, nĩgeetha ndĩĩrute kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
[It is] good for me that you have afflicted me; that I might learn your ordinances.
72 Watho ũrĩa uumĩte kanua gaku nĩ wa bata mũno harĩ niĩ, gũkĩra ngiri cia icunjĩ cia betha na thahabu.
The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
73 Moko maku nĩmo manyũmbire na magĩĩthondeka ũguo ndariĩ; he ũtaũku nĩguo ndĩĩrute maathani maku.
Your hands have made me, and fashioned me: instruct me, that I may learn your commandments.
74 Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte marokenaga rĩrĩa maanyona, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
They that fear you will see me and rejoice: for I have hoped in your words.
75 Jehova, nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mawatho maku nĩ ma ũthingu, na ũnyonetie thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku.
I know, O Lord, that your judgments are righteousness, and [that] you in truthfulness have afflicted me.
76 Wendani waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũrotuĩka wa kũũhooreria, kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩrĩa werĩire ndungata yaku.
Let, I pray you, your mercy be to comfort me, according to your word to your servant.
77 Ĩtĩkĩra tha ciaku inginyĩre nĩguo ndũũre muoyo, nĩgũkorwo watho waku nĩguo ngenagĩra.
Let your compassions come to me, that I may live: for your 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; for they transgressed against me unjustly: but I will meditate in your commandments.
79 Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte maronjookerera, o acio mataũkĩirwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
Let those that fear you, and those that know your testimonies, turn to me.
80 Ngoro yakwa ĩroaga ũcuuke ũhoro-inĩ wa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩguo ndikanaconorithio.
Let mine heart be blameless in your ordinances, that I may not be ashamed.
81 Ngoro yakwa ĩringĩkaga nĩ kwĩrirĩria ũhonokio waku, no niĩ njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
My soul faints for your salvation: I have hoped in your words.
82 Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩ gũtũũra njũthĩrĩirie kĩĩranĩro gĩaku; ngakĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgaakĩĩhooreria rĩ?”
Mine eyes failed [in waiting] for your word, saying, When will you 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 as a bottle in the frost: [yet] I have not forgotten your ordinances.
84 Niĩ ndungata yaku-rĩ, ngweterera nginya rĩ? Arĩa maanyariiraga ũkaamaherithia rĩ?
How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment for me on them that persecute me?
85 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi manyenjeire marima nĩguo ngwe kuo, o acio makararagia watho waku.
Transgressors told me [idle tales]; but not according to your law, O Lord.
86 Maathani maku mothe nĩ ma kwĩhokwo; ndeithia, nĩgũkorwo andũ maanyariiraga hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
All your commandments are truth; they persecuted me unjustly; help you me.
87 Maatigĩtie hanini maaniine nyume thĩ ĩno, no nditiganĩirie mawatho maku.
They nearly made an end of me in the earth; but I forsook not your commandments.
88 Menyerera muoyo wakwa kũringana na wendo waku, na ndĩathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩa kanua gaku.
Quicken me according to your mercy; so shall I keep the testimonies of your mouth.
89 Wee Jehova, kiugo gĩaku gĩtũũraga tene na tene; gĩtũũraga kĩĩhaandĩte wega kũu igũrũ.
Your word, O Lord, abides in heaven for ever.
90 Wĩhokeku waku nĩ wa kuuma njiarwa nginya njiarwa; nĩwe warũmirie thĩ, nayo ĩgagĩikara o ĩrũmĩte.
Your truth [endures] to all generations; you have founded the earth, and it abides.
91 Mawatho maku matũũraga nginya ũmũthĩ, nĩgũkorwo indo ciothe nĩwe itungataga.
The day continues by your arrangement; for all things are your servants.
92 Korwo watho waku tiguo ũngenagia, ingĩanathira nĩ mĩnyamaro yakwa.
Were it not that your law is my (meditation) then I should have perished in mine affliction.
93 Niĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaariganĩrwo nĩ mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo ũndũũrĩtie muoyo nĩ ũndũ wamo.
I will never forget your ordinances; for with them you have quickened me.
94 Honokia, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ waku, na nĩĩmaathĩte mawatho maku.
I am your, save me; for I have sought out your ordinances.
95 Andũ arĩa aaganu manjoheirie nĩguo maaniine, no niĩ ndĩrĩĩcũũranagia o ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku.
Sinners laid wait for me to destroy me; [but] I understood your testimonies.
96 Ũndũ o wothe mũkinyanĩru wega, nĩnyonete nĩ ũrĩ mũthia; no maathani maku matirĩ mũhaka.
have seen an end of all perfection; [but] your commandment is very broad.
97 Kaĩ nĩnyendete watho waku-ĩ! Ndindaga ngĩtarania ũhoro waguo mũthenya wothe.
How I have loved your 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.
You have made me wiser than mine enemies [in] your commandment; for it is mine for ever.
99 Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra arutani akwa othe, nĩgũkorwo ndaranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
I have more understanding than all my teachers; for your testimonies are my medication.
100 Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra athuuri, nĩgũkorwo njathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I understand more that the aged; because I have sought out your commandments.
101 Nĩndigagĩrĩria magũrũ makwa matikagerere njĩra o yothe njũru, nĩgeetha njathĩkagĩre kiugo gĩaku.
I have kept back my feet from every evil way, that I might keep your words.
102 Niĩ nditiganĩirie mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe ũndutĩte ũhoro ũcio.
I have not declined from your judgments; for you have instructed me.
103 Kaĩ ciugo ciaku irĩ mũrĩo ngĩcicama-ĩ, irĩ mũrĩo gũkĩra ũũkĩ ũrĩ kanua-inĩ gakwa!
How sweet are your oracles to my throat! more so than honey to my mouth!
104 Ngĩĩaga na ũtaũku nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩra gĩaku; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩthũire njĩra o yothe njũru.
I gain understanding by your commandments: therefore I have hated every way of unrighteousness.
105 Kiugo gĩaku nĩkĩo tawa wa magũrũ makwa, na ũtheri wa kũmũrĩka njĩra yakwa.
Your law 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 determined to keep the judgments of your righteousness.
107 Nĩthĩĩnĩkĩte mũno; Wee Jehova, tũũria muoyo wakwa, kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
I have been very greatly afflicted, O Lord: quicken me, according to your word.
108 Wee Jehova, ĩtĩkĩra ũgooci wa kwĩyendera wa kanua gakwa, na ũkĩndute mawatho maku.
Accept, I pray you, O Lord, the free will offerings of my mouth, and teach me your judgments.
109 O na gũtuĩka ndũũraga nyiitĩrĩire muoyo wakwa moko-inĩ makwa-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
My soul is continually in your hands; and I have not forgotten your law.
110 Andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmanyambĩire mũtego, no ndirĩ ndahĩtia kĩrĩra gĩaku.
Sinners spread a snare for me; but I erred not from your commandments.
111 Mawatho maku nĩmo igai rĩakwa nginya tene; nĩmo gĩkeno kĩa ngoro yakwa.
I have inherited your testimonies for ever; for they are the joy of my heart.
112 Ngoro yakwa nĩĩtuĩte kũrũmagia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku o nginya mũthia.
I have inclined my heart to perform your ordinances for ever, in return [for your mercies].
113 Nĩthũire andũ a ngoro igĩrĩ, no nĩnyendete watho waku.
I have hated transgressors; but I have loved your law.
114 Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa na ngo yakwa; njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa kiugo-inĩ gĩaku.
You are my helper and my supporter; I have hoped in your words.
115 Njehererai, inyuĩ eeki ũũru, nĩguo ngĩrũmie maathani ma Ngai wakwa!
Depart from me, you evil-doers; for I will search out the commandments of my God.
116 Nyiitagĩrĩra kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, na nĩngũtũũra muoyo; ndũkareke kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa kĩharagane.
Uphold me according to your word, and quicken me; and make me not ashamed of my expectation.
117 Ndiiragĩrĩra, na nĩngũhonokio; ngũtũũra ndĩĩte uuge waku.
Help me, and I shall be saved; and I will meditate in your ordinances continually.
118 Nĩũregaga arĩa othe matiganaga na kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩgũkorwo kwĩheenia kũu meheenagia nakuo nĩ gwa tũhũ.
You have brought to nothing all that depart from your ordinances; for their inward thought is unrighteous.
119 Arĩa othe aaganu a gũkũ thĩ ũmateaga ta gĩko; nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩnyendete kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
I have reckoned all the sinners of the earth as transgressors; therefore have I loved your testimonies.
120 Mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩũinainaga nĩgũgwĩtigĩra; njikaraga na guoya mũnene nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku.
Penetrate my flesh with your fear; for I am afraid of your judgments.
121 Niĩ njĩkĩte maũndũ ma ũthingu na ma kĩhooto; ndũkandiganĩrie harĩ arĩa maahinyagĩrĩria.
I have done judgment and justice; deliver me not up to them that injure me.
122 Menyerera ũgima wa ndungata yaku; ndũkareke andũ arĩa etĩĩi maahinyĩrĩrie.
Receive your servant for good: let not the proud accuse me falsely.
123 Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩgũtũũra njũũthĩrĩirie ũhonokio waku, ngacũthĩrĩria kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩa ũthingu.
Mine eyes have failed for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.
124 Ĩkaga ndungata yaku kũringana na wendo waku, na ũndutage kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
Deal with your servant according to your mercy, and teach me your ordinances.
125 Niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku; he gũkũũrana maũndũ, nĩguo hote gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I am your servant; instruct me, and I shall know your testimonies.
126 Wee Jehova, hĩndĩ nĩnginyu wĩke ũndũ, tondũ andũ nĩmathũkĩtie watho waku.
[It is] time for the Lord to work: they have utterly broken your law.
127 Tondũ nĩnyendete maathani maku gũkĩra thahabu, ngamenda mũno gũkĩra thahabu ĩrĩa therie,
Therefore have I loved your commandments more than gold, or the topaz.
