I am seized with glowing anger at the wicked who forsake your law.
54 Ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩguo ũtuĩkĩte rwĩmbo rwakwa, o kũrĩa guothe ingĩikara.
Your statutes have been to me songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55 Ũtukũ ndirikanaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, ngakĩrũmia watho waku Wee Jehova.
I remember your name in the night, O Lord and observe your law.
56 Ũũ nĩguo ngoretwo ngĩĩka: nĩnjathĩkagĩra mawatho maku.
My lot has been this, that I have kept your precepts.
57 Wee Jehova, Wee nĩwe igai rĩakwa; nĩngwĩrĩte atĩ ndĩathĩkagĩra ciugo ciaku.
My portion are you, O Lord: I have promised to keep your words.
58 Maathĩĩte ũthiũ waku na ngoro yakwa yothe; nginyagĩria wega waku o ta ũrĩa wĩranĩire.
I entreat you with all my heart; grant me your promised favour.
59 Nĩndĩcũũranĩtie ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yakwa, ngagĩcookia makinya makwa kũrĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I have thought upon my ways, and turned my feet to your charges.
60 Nĩngũhiũha na ndigũcererwo gwathĩkĩra maathani maku.
I hasted and tarried not to give heed to your commandments.
61 O na kũngĩtuĩka atĩ andũ arĩa aaganu no manjohe na mĩhĩndo-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
Though the godless have wound their cords round me, I have not forgotten your law.
62 Ũtukũ gatagatĩ njarahũkaga ngũcookerie ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku ma kĩhooto.
At midnight I rise to praise you because of your righteous judgments.
63 Niĩ ndĩ mũrata wa andũ arĩa othe magwĩtigĩrĩte, o arĩa othe marũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku.
With all those who fear you I company, aid with those who observe your precepts.
64 Wee Jehova, thĩ ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo waku; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
The earth, Lord, is full of your kindness; teach me your Statutes.
65 Wee Jehova, ĩka ndungata yaku kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
Well have you dealt with your servant, as you have promised, O Lord.
66 Nduta gũkũũrana maũndũ wega o na kũmamenya, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie maathani maku.
Teach me discretion and knowledge, for I have believed your commandments.
67 Mbere itanoona thĩĩna nĩndahĩtagia, no rĩu nĩnjathĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
Till trouble came I was a wanderer, but now I observe your word.
68 Wee ũrĩ mwega, na nĩwĩkaga o wega; nduta kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.
69 O na gũtuĩka andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmahakĩte gĩko na ndeto cia maheeni, ngũtũũra nũmĩtie mawatho maku na ngoro yakwa yothe.
The proud have forged lies against me, but I keep your precepts with all my heart.
70 Ngoro ciao nĩ nyũmũ na itirĩ tha, no niĩ ngenagĩra watho waku.
Their heart is gross like fat, but I delight in your law.
71 Warĩ ũndũ mwega niĩ nyone thĩĩna, nĩgeetha ndĩĩrute kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
It was good for me to be humbled, that I should learn your statutes.
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 pieces of silver and gold.
73 Moko maku nĩmo manyũmbire na magĩĩthondeka ũguo ndariĩ; he ũtaũku nĩguo ndĩĩrute maathani maku.
Your hands have made me and fashioned me; make me wise to learn your commandments.
74 Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte marokenaga rĩrĩa maanyona, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
Those who fear you shall see me with joy, for in your word have I hoped.
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 right, and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
76 Wendani waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũrotuĩka wa kũũhooreria, kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩrĩa werĩire ndungata yaku.
Let your love be a comfort to me, for so have you promised your servant.
77 Ĩtĩkĩra tha ciaku inginyĩre nĩguo ndũũre muoyo, nĩgũkorwo watho waku nĩguo ngenagĩra.
Visit me with your quickening pity, for your law is my delight.
78 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi maroconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa kũnjĩka ũũru hatarĩ gĩtũmi; no niĩ-rĩ, ndĩrĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
Put the proud to shame, who have wronged me falsely: I will muse on your precepts.
79 Andũ arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte maronjookerera, o acio mataũkĩirwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
Let those turn to me who fear you, that they may learn your charges.
80 Ngoro yakwa ĩroaga ũcuuke ũhoro-inĩ wa kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩguo ndikanaconorithio.
Let my heart be sound in your statutes, that I may not be put to shame.
81 Ngoro yakwa ĩringĩkaga nĩ kwĩrirĩria ũhonokio waku, no niĩ njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ kiugo gĩaku.
My long for you to rescue me, I put my hope in your word.
82 Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩ gũtũũra njũthĩrĩirie kĩĩranĩro gĩaku; ngakĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgaakĩĩhooreria rĩ?”
My eyes pine away for your promise: 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.
Though shrivelled like wine-skin in smoke, your statutes I have not forgotten.
84 Niĩ ndungata yaku-rĩ, ngweterera nginya rĩ? Arĩa maanyariiraga ũkaamaherithia rĩ?
How few are the days of your servant! When will you judge those who harass me?
85 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi manyenjeire marima nĩguo ngwe kuo, o acio makararagia watho waku.
Proud people have dug for me pits people who do not conform to your law.
86 Maathani maku mothe nĩ ma kwĩhokwo; ndeithia, nĩgũkorwo andũ maanyariiraga hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
All your commandments are trusty. With falsehood they harass me: help me.
87 Maatigĩtie hanini maaniine nyume thĩ ĩno, no nditiganĩirie mawatho maku.
They had nearly made an end of me, yet I did not forget your precepts.
88 Menyerera muoyo wakwa kũringana na wendo waku, na ndĩathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩa kanua gaku.
Spare me in your kindness, and I will observe the charge of your mouth.
89 Wee Jehova, kiugo gĩaku gĩtũũraga tene na tene; gĩtũũraga kĩĩhaandĩte wega kũu igũrũ.
Forever, O Lord, is your word fixed firmly in the heavens.
90 Wĩhokeku waku nĩ wa kuuma njiarwa nginya njiarwa; nĩwe warũmirie thĩ, nayo ĩgagĩikara o ĩrũmĩte.
Your truth endures age after age; it is established on earth, and it stands.
91 Mawatho maku matũũraga nginya ũmũthĩ, nĩgũkorwo indo ciothe nĩwe itungataga.
By your appointment they stand this day, for all are your servants.
92 Korwo watho waku tiguo ũngenagia, ingĩanathira nĩ mĩnyamaro yakwa.
Had not your law been my joy, in my misery then had I perished.
93 Niĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaariganĩrwo nĩ mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo ũndũũrĩtie muoyo nĩ ũndũ wamo.
I will never forget your precepts, for through them you have put life in me.
94 Honokia, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ waku, na nĩĩmaathĩte mawatho maku.
I am yours, O save me, for I give my mind to your precepts.
95 Andũ arĩa aaganu manjoheirie nĩguo maaniine, no niĩ ndĩrĩĩcũũranagia o ũhoro wa kĩrĩra gĩaku.
The wicked lay wait to destroy me, but I give heed to your charge.
96 Ũndũ o wothe mũkinyanĩru wega, nĩnyonete nĩ ũrĩ mũthia; no maathani maku matirĩ mũhaka.
I have seen a limit to all things: but your commandment is spacious exceedingly.
97 Kaĩ nĩnyendete watho waku-ĩ! Ndindaga ngĩtarania ũhoro waguo mũthenya wothe.
O how I love your law! All the day long I muse on it.
98 Maathani maku matũmaga njũhĩge gũkĩra thũ ciakwa, nĩgũkorwo makoragwo hamwe na niĩ hĩndĩ ciothe.
Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies: for it is mine forever.
99 Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra arutani akwa othe, nĩgũkorwo ndaranagia ũhoro wa mawatho maku.
I am prudent above all my teachers, for your charges are my (meditation)
100 Niĩ ndĩ na ũmenyo mũingĩ gũkĩra athuuri, nĩgũkorwo njathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku.
I have insight more than the aged, because I observe your precepts.
101 Nĩndigagĩrĩria magũrũ makwa matikagerere njĩra o yothe njũru, nĩgeetha njathĩkagĩre kiugo gĩaku.
I refrain my foot from all wicked ways, that I may keep your word.
102 Niĩ nditiganĩirie mawatho maku, nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe ũndutĩte ũhoro ũcio.
I turn not aside from your judgments, for you yourself are my teacher.
103 Kaĩ ciugo ciaku irĩ mũrĩo ngĩcicama-ĩ, irĩ mũrĩo gũkĩra ũũkĩ ũrĩ kanua-inĩ gakwa!
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Ngĩĩaga na ũtaũku nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩra gĩaku; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩthũire njĩra o yothe njũru.
Insight I win through your precepts, therefore every false way I hate.
105 Kiugo gĩaku nĩkĩo tawa wa magũrũ makwa, na ũtheri wa kũmũrĩka njĩra yakwa.
Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
106 Nĩndĩĩhĩtĩte mwĩhĩtwa na ngagwatĩria, atĩ nĩndĩrĩrũmagĩrĩra mawatho maku ma ũthingu.
I have sworn an oath, and will keep it, to observe your righteous judgments.
107 Nĩthĩĩnĩkĩte mũno; Wee Jehova, tũũria muoyo wakwa, kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
I am afflicted sorely: revive me, O Lord, as you said.
108 Wee Jehova, ĩtĩkĩra ũgooci wa kwĩyendera wa kanua gakwa, na ũkĩndute mawatho maku.
Accept, Lord, my willing praise, and teach me your judgments.
109 O na gũtuĩka ndũũraga nyiitĩrĩire muoyo wakwa moko-inĩ makwa-rĩ, ndingĩriganĩrwo nĩ watho waku.
My life is in ceaseless peril; but I do not forget your law.
110 Andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmanyambĩire mũtego, no ndirĩ ndahĩtia kĩrĩra gĩaku.
The wicked set traps for me, yet I do not stray from your precepts.
111 Mawatho maku nĩmo igai rĩakwa nginya tene; nĩmo gĩkeno kĩa ngoro yakwa.
In your charges are my everlasting inheritance, they are the joy of my heart.
112 Ngoro yakwa nĩĩtuĩte kũrũmagia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku o nginya mũthia.
I am resolved to perform your statutes forever, to the utmost.
113 Nĩthũire andũ a ngoro igĩrĩ, no nĩnyendete watho waku.
I hate people of divided heart, but your law do I love.
114 Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa na ngo yakwa; njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa kiugo-inĩ gĩaku.
You are my shelter and shield: in your word do I hope.
115 Njehererai, inyuĩ eeki ũũru, nĩguo ngĩrũmie maathani ma Ngai wakwa!
Begone, you wicked people, I will keep the commands of my God.
116 Nyiitagĩrĩra kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, na nĩngũtũũra muoyo; ndũkareke kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa kĩharagane.
Uphold me and spare me, as you have promised: O disappoint me not.
117 Ndiiragĩrĩra, na nĩngũhonokio; ngũtũũra ndĩĩte uuge waku.
Hold me up, and I shall be saved: and your statutes shall be my unceasing delight.
118 Nĩũregaga arĩa othe matiganaga na kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, nĩgũkorwo kwĩheenia kũu meheenagia nakuo nĩ gwa tũhũ.
All who swerve from your statutes you spurn: their cunning is in vain.
119 Arĩa othe aaganu a gũkũ thĩ ũmateaga ta gĩko; nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩnyendete kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
All the wicked of earth you count as dross, therefore I love your charges.
120 Mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩũinainaga nĩgũgwĩtigĩra; njikaraga na guoya mũnene nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku.
My flesh, for fear of you, shudders, and I stand in awe of your judgments.
121 Niĩ njĩkĩte maũndũ ma ũthingu na ma kĩhooto; ndũkandiganĩrie harĩ arĩa maahinyagĩrĩria.
Justice and right have I practised, do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Menyerera ũgima wa ndungata yaku; ndũkareke andũ arĩa etĩĩi maahinyĩrĩrie.
Be your servant’s surety for good, let not the proud oppress me.
123 Maitho makwa nĩmaraaga hinya nĩgũtũũra njũũthĩrĩirie ũhonokio waku, ngacũthĩrĩria kĩĩranĩro gĩaku kĩa ũthingu.
My eyes pine for your salvation, and for your righteous promise.
124 Ĩkaga ndungata yaku kũringana na wendo waku, na ũndutage kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
Deal in your love with your servant, and teach me your statutes.
125 Niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku; he gũkũũrana maũndũ, nĩguo hote gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩra gĩaku.
Your servant am I; instruct me, that I may know your charges.
126 Wee Jehova, hĩndĩ nĩnginyu wĩke ũndũ, tondũ andũ nĩmathũkĩtie watho waku.
It is time for the Lord to act: they have violated your law.
127 Tondũ nĩnyendete maathani maku gũkĩra thahabu, ngamenda mũno gũkĩra thahabu ĩrĩa therie,
Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold.
128 na tondũ nĩnduĩte mawatho maku mothe nĩmagĩrĩire, nĩthũire njĩra o yothe ĩtarĩ ya ma.
So by all your precepts I guide me, and every false way I hate.
129 Kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩ kĩa magegania; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndĩrĩgĩathĩkagĩra.
Your decrees are wonderful, gladly I keep them.
130 Ciugo ciaku ciataũrwo nĩirehaga ũtheri; nĩciũhĩgagia andũ arĩa matarĩ oogĩ.
When your word is unfolded, light breaks; it imparts to the simple wisdom.
131 Njathamĩtie kanua gakwa ngahũma nĩ ũndũ wa kwĩrirĩria maathani maku.
With open mouth I pant with longing for your commandments.
132 Njerekera na ũnjiguĩre tha, o ta ũrĩa wĩkaga andũ arĩa mendete rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
Turn to me with your favour, as is just to those who love you.
133 Rũngagĩrĩria makinya makwa kũringana na kiugo gĩaku; ndũkareke njathagwo nĩ wĩhia o na ũrĩkũ.
Steady my steps by your word, so that sin have no power over me.
134 Ngũũra kuuma ũhiinyanĩrĩria wa andũ, nĩguo njathĩkagĩre mawatho maku.
Set me free from those who oppress me, and I shall observe your precepts.
135 Tũma ũthiũ waku warĩre ndungata yaku, na ũndutage kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
Shine with your face on your servant, and teach me your statutes.
136 Maitho makwa manyũrũrũkagia maithori ta rũũĩ, nĩgũkorwo andũ matirathĩkĩra watho waku.
My eyes run down with rills of water, because your law is not kept.
137 Wee Jehova, ũrĩ mũthingu, na mawatho maku nĩmagĩrĩire.
Righteous are you, O Lord, and right are your ordinances.
138 Mawatho marĩa ũheanĩte nĩ ma ũthingu; nĩ ma kwĩhokwo kũna.
The laws you has ordered are just, and trusty exceedingly.
139 Kĩyo gĩakwa nĩkĩĩnogetie, nĩgũkorwo thũ ciakwa nĩcitiganĩirie ciugo ciaku.
My jealousy has undone me, that my foes have forgotten your words.
140 Ciĩranĩro ciaku nĩthuuranĩre o biũ, na ndungata yaku nĩĩciendete.
Your word has been tested well; and your servant loves it.
141 O na gũtuĩka ndirĩ bata na nĩnyararĩtwo-rĩ, ndiriganagĩrwo nĩ mawatho maku.
I am little and held in contempt, but your precepts I have not forgotten.
142 Ũthingu waku nĩ wa gũtũũra tene na tene, naguo watho waku nĩ wa ma.
Just is your justice forever, and trusty is your law.
143 Ngoretwo nĩ mathĩĩna na mĩnyamaro, no maathani maku nĩmo ngenagĩra.
Stress and strain are upon me, but your commandments are my delight.
144 Kĩrĩra gĩaku nĩ kĩa ma nginya tene; kĩĩhe ũtaũku nĩguo ndũũre muoyo.
Right are your charges forever, instruct me that I may live.
145 Ndĩragũkaĩra na ngoro yakwa yothe, Wee Jehova, njĩtĩka, na nĩndĩrĩathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
With my whole heart I cry; O answer me. I would keep your statutes, O Lord.
146 Wee nĩwe ndĩrakaĩra, honokia na nĩndĩrĩmenyagĩrĩra mawatho maku.
I cry to you: O save me, and I will observe your charges.
147 Njũkagĩra tene gũtanakĩa, ngakũrĩrĩra nĩguo ũndeithie; njigĩte mwĩhoko wakwa kiugo-inĩ gĩaku.
Ere the dawn I cry for your help: in your word do I hope.
148 Maitho makwa maikaraga mahingũkĩte matuanĩra-inĩ mothe ma arangĩri, nĩguo ndaranagie ũhoro wa ciĩranĩro ciaku.
Awake I meet the night-watches, to muse upon your sayings.
149 Igua mũgambo wakwa kũringana na wendo waku; Wee Jehova, tũũria muoyo wakwa, kũringana na mawatho maku.
Hear my voice in your kindness: O Lord, by your judgments revive me.
150 Andũ arĩa mathugundaga maũndũ ma wĩki naaĩ nĩmanguhĩrĩirie, no-o nĩmaraihanĩrĩirie na watho waku.
Near me are wicked tormentors, who are far from thoughts of your law;
151 No Wee Jehova, ũikaraga hakuhĩ, na maathani maku mothe nĩ ma ma.
but near, too, are you, O Lord, and all your commandments are trusty.
152 Matukũ-inĩ ma tene nĩndamenyire kuuma kĩrĩra-inĩ gĩaku, atĩ wagĩthondekire kĩrĩ gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene.
Long have I known from your charges that you have founded them for all time.
153 Rora gũthĩĩnĩka gwakwa na ũndeithũre, nĩgũkorwo ndiriganĩirwo nĩ watho waku.
Look on my misery, and rescue me; for I do not forget your law.
154 Ndũĩrĩra na ũkĩngũũre; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku.
Defend my cause and redeem me: revive me, as you have promised.
155 Ũhonokio nĩũraihĩrĩirie andũ arĩa aaganu, nĩgũkorwo matirongoragia kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
Salvation is far from the wicked, for their mind is not in your statutes.
156 Wee Jehova, tha ciaku nĩ nyingĩ; tũũria muoyo wakwa kũringana na mawatho maku.
Great is your pity, O Lord: Revive me, as you have ordained.
157 Andũ arĩa maanyariiraga nĩ aingĩ, no ndirĩ ndahutatĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku.
My foes and tormentors are many, but I have not declined from your charges.
158 Njũthagĩrĩria arĩa matarĩ na wĩtĩkio ngoro, nĩgũkorwo matiathĩkagĩra kiugo gĩaku.
I behold the traitors with loathing, for they do not observe your word.
159 Ta kĩone ũrĩa nyendete mawatho maku; tũũria muoyo wakwa, Wee Jehova, kũringana na wendo waku.
Behold how I love your precepts: revive me, O Lord!, in your kindness.
160 Ciugo ciaku ciothe nĩ cia ma; mawatho maku mothe nĩ ma ũthingu na nĩ ma gũtũũra tene na tene.
The sum of your word is truth, all your laws are just and eternal.
161 Aathani maanyariiraga hatarĩ gĩtũmi, no ngoro yakwa ĩinainagio nĩ kiugo gĩaku.
Princes have harassed me wantonly: but my heart stands in awe of your word.
162 Ngenagĩra kĩĩranĩro gĩaku, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ atahĩte indo nyingĩ akenaga.
Over your word I rejoice as one who finds great spoil.
163 Nĩmenete na ngathũũra maheeni, no nĩnyendete watho waku.
Falsehood I hate and abhor, but your law do I love.
164 O mũthenya ngũgoocaga maita mũgwanja nĩ ũndũ wa mawatho maku ma ũthingu.
Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments.
165 Arĩa mendete watho waku nĩ marĩ thayũ mũingĩ, na gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩngĩtũma mahĩngwo.
Right well do they fare who love your law: they go on their way without stumbling.
166 Njetagĩrĩra ũhonokio waku, Wee Jehova, na ngarũmĩrĩra maathani maku.
I hope for your salvation; O Lord I do your commandments.
167 Njathĩkagĩra kĩrĩra gĩaku, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩkĩendete mũno.
I observe your charges: I love them greatly.
168 Njathĩkagĩra mawatho maku na kĩrĩra gĩaku, nĩgũkorwo mĩthiĩre yakwa yothe nĩũmĩũĩ.
I observe your precepts and charges: all my ways are before you.
169 Wee Jehova-rĩ, gũkaya gwakwa kũrokinya harĩwe; he gũtaũkĩrwo kũringana na kiugo gĩaku.
Let my cry come before you, O Lord: give me insight, as you have promised.
170 Mathaithana makwa marokinya harĩwe; ndeithũra kũringana na kĩĩranĩro gĩaku.
Let my prayer enter into your presence: deliver me, as you have said.
171 Mĩromo yakwa ĩrĩkũgoocaga hĩndĩ ciothe, nĩgũkorwo nĩũndutaga kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku.
My lips shall be fountains of praise, that you teach me your statutes.
172 Rũrĩmĩ rwakwa nĩrũkĩine ũhoro wa kiugo gĩaku, nĩgũkorwo maathani maku mothe nĩ ma ũthingu.
My tongue shall sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.
173 Guoko gwaku nĩgũkĩĩhaarĩrie kũndeithia, nĩgũkorwo mawatho maku nĩmo niĩ ndĩthuurĩire.
Let your hand be ready to help me, for your precepts have been my choice.
174 Ũhonokio waku nĩguo ndĩĩriragĩria, Wee Jehova, naguo watho waku nĩguo ngenagĩra.
I long, Lord, for your salvation, and your law is my delight.
175 Ndĩrogĩtũũra muoyo nĩguo ngũgoocage, namo mawatho maku nĩmatũũre mandeithagia.
Revive me that I may praise you, and let your precepts help me.
176 Niĩ nĩhĩtĩtie njĩra ta ngʼondu yũrĩte. Gĩcarie ndungata yaku, nĩgũkorwo ndiriganĩirwo nĩ maathani maku.
I have strayed like a wandering sheep seek your servant, because I do not forget your commandments.
