1 Thaburi ya Daudi Rahai Jehova, inyuĩ ciũmbe cia igũrũ, rahai Jehova tondũ nĩwe ũrĩ riiri na hinya.

A psalm of David. Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and power

2 Rahai Jehova, mũheane ũhoro wa riiri wa rĩĩtwa rĩake; thathaiyai Jehova thĩinĩ wa ũkengi wa ũthingu wake.

Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bow to the Lord in holy array.

3 Mũgambo wa Jehova ũragamba na kũu iria-inĩ; Mũrungu ũcio wa riiri nĩararuruma, Jehova araruruma igũrũ rĩa maaĩ maingĩ.

The Lord’s voice peals on the waters. The God of glory has thundered. He peals o’er the mighty waters.

4 Mũgambo wa Jehova nĩ ũrĩ ũhoti; mũgambo wa Jehova ũiyũrĩte riiri.

The Lord’s voice sounds with strength, the Lord’s voice sounds with majesty.

5 Mũgambo wa Jehova unangaga mĩtarakwa; Jehova oinangaga mĩtarakwa ya Lebanoni ĩgatuĩka tũcunjĩ.

The Lord’s voice breaks the cedars, he breaks the cedars of Lebanon,

6 Atũmaga bũrũri wa Lebanoni ũtũũhe ta njaũ, nakĩo Kĩrĩma gĩa Sirioni gĩgatũũha ta njaũ ya mbogo.

making Lebanon dance like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.

7 Mũgambo wa Jehova ũhenũkaga nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki.

The Lord’s voice hews out flames of fire.

8 Mũgambo wa Jehova ũinainagia werũ; Jehova ainainagia Werũ wa Kadeshi.

The Lord’s voice rends the desert, he rends the desert of Kadesh.

9 Mũgambo wa Jehova ũthioraga mĩtĩ ya mĩgandi, na ũgatũma mĩtitũ ĩhũrũrũke ĩgatigwo ũtheri. Nakuo hekarũ-inĩ yake arĩa othe marĩ kuo makaanĩrĩra makoiga, “Kaĩ arĩ riiri-ĩ!”

The Lord’s voice whirls the oaks, and strips the forests bare; and all in his temple say “Glory.”

10 Jehova arĩ igũrũ rĩa mũiyũro wa maaĩ aikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene; Jehova egũtũũra aikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene arĩ Mũthamaki nginya tene.

The Lord was king at the flood, the Lord sits throned forever.

11 Jehova aheaga andũ ake hinya; Jehova arathimaga andũ ake magaikara na thayũ.

The Lord gives strength to his people, he blesses his people with peace.
