You righteous people should sing joyfully to Yahweh because that is what he deserves.
2 Goocai Jehova na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto; mũinĩrei na kĩnanda kĩrĩa kĩgeete na nga ikũmi.
Praise Yahweh as you play songs on the lyre/harp. Praise him as you play [other] instruments that have many strings.
3 Mũinĩrei rwĩmbo rwerũ; hũũrai inanda mũrĩ na ũũgĩ, na mwanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena.
Sing a new song to him; Play those instruments well, and shout joyfully as you play them!

Yahweh always does what he says that he will do; we can trust that everything that he does is right.
5 Jehova nĩendete ũthingu na ciira wa kĩhooto; thĩ yothe ĩiyũrĩte wendani wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
He loves everything that we do that is just and right. People all over the earth can know that Yahweh faithfully loves us.
6 Igũrũ rĩombirwo na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Jehova, mbũtũ cia igũrũ ikĩũmbwo na mĩhũmũ ya kanua gake.
Yahweh created everything in the sky by commanding it. By what he said [MTY] he created all the stars.
7 Aacookanĩrĩirie maaĩ ma iria inene ndigithũ-inĩ; maaĩ ma kũrĩa kũriku aamaigire thĩinĩ wa makũmbĩ.
He gathered all the water into one huge mass like [someone scoops liquid] into a container.
8 Thĩ yothe nĩĩtigĩre Jehova; andũ othe a thĩ nĩmamũtĩĩe.
Everyone on the earth should revere Yahweh [DOU].

When he spoke, the world (was created/started to exist). Everything started to exist as a result of him commanding it.
10 Jehova nĩarigiicaga mĩbango ya ndũrĩrĩ; nĩathũkagia mĩoroto ya andũ.
Yahweh frustrates the things that the [pagan] nations decide to do. He prevents them from doing the [evil] things that they plan to do.
11 No mĩbango ya Jehova ĩĩhaandaga wega nginya tene, mĩoroto ya ngoro yake ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
But what Yahweh decides to do will last forever. What he plans to do will never be changed.
12 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa Jehova arĩ we Ngai waruo, andũ arĩa eethuurĩire matuĩke igai rĩake.
Yahweh blesses those nations who choose him to be their God; He is pleased with those whom he has chosen to receive what he has promised.
13 Jehova arĩ igũrũ aroraga thĩ akoona andũ othe;
Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees all us people;
14 acũthagĩrĩria arĩa othe matũũraga gũkũ thĩ, arĩ o kũu gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake,
from where he rules [MTY], he looks down on all the people who live on the earth.
15 we nĩwe mũũmbi wa ngoro ciao othe, na nĩoĩ mawĩra mao mothe.
He formed our inner beings, and he sees everything that we do.
16 Gũtirĩ mũthamaki ũhonokagio nĩ mũigana wa ita rĩake, na gũtirĩ njamba ya ita ĩĩteithũraga nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wayo mũnene.
It is not because a king has a great army that he is able to win [battles], and it is not because a soldier is very strong that he is able to defeat [his enemy].
17 Ha ũhoro wa kũhonokania-rĩ, mbarathi cia mbaara nĩ mwĩhoko wa tũhũ; o na ĩrĩ na hinya mũingĩ ndĩngĩhonokania.
It is foolish to trust that because horses are very strong that they will able to win a battle and save their riders.

Do not forget that Yahweh watches over those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to faithfully love them.
19 akamateithũra gĩkuũ-inĩ, na akamatũũria muoyo hĩndĩ ya ngʼaragu.

20 Ithuĩ twetagĩrĩra Jehova tũrĩ na mwĩhoko; nĩwe ũteithio witũ o na ngo iitũ.
We trust that Yahweh will help us; he protects us like a shield protects a soldier [MET].
21 Ngoro ciitũ nĩcikenete nĩ ũndũ wake, nĩgũkorwo twĩhokete rĩĩtwa rĩake itheru.
We rejoice because of what he [has done for us]; we trust in him because he [MTY] is holy.

Yahweh, we pray that you will always faithfully love us while we confidently expect you [to do great things for us].
