1 Goocai Jehova. Wee ngoro yakwa-rĩ, gooca Jehova.
Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.
2 Ndĩgoocaga Jehova hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra muoyo; ndĩrĩinaga, ngoocage Ngai wakwa rĩrĩa rĩothe ngũtũũra muoyo.
I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.
3 Ndũkanaige mwĩhoko waku harĩ anene, kana harĩ andũ, arĩa matangĩhota kũhonokania.
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.
4 Rĩrĩa roho wao wameherera, macookaga o tĩĩri-inĩ; mũthenya o ro ũcio mĩbango yao ĩtuĩkaga ya tũhũ.
His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.
5 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũteithio wake uumaga kũrĩ Mũrungu wa Jakubu, ũrĩa mwĩhoko wake ũrĩ harĩ Jehova Ngai wake,
Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.
6 Mũũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ, na iria, na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũũraga thĩinĩ wacio: ũcio nĩwe Jehova, ũrĩa ũtũũraga arĩ mwĩhokeku nginya tene.
Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:
7 Nĩarũgamagĩrĩra kĩhooto kĩa arĩa ahatĩrĩrie, na akahe arĩa ahũtu irio. Jehova nĩwe wohoraga arĩa mohetwo,
Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.
8 Jehova nĩahingũraga maitho ma arĩa atumumu, Jehova nĩatiiraga arĩa mainamĩte, Jehova nĩendete andũ arĩa athingu.
The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.
9 Jehova nĩamenyagĩrĩra andũ a kũngĩ, na agatũũria ciana cia ngoriai o na mũtumia wa ndigwa, no njĩra cia andũ arĩa aaganu nĩacirigiicaga.
The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.
10 Jehova egũtũũra athamakaga nginya tene, Ngai waku, wee Zayuni, athamakage njiarwa na njiarwa. Goocai Jehova.
The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
