1 Thaburi ya Daudi Ndĩrĩkumagia Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe; ndĩrĩmũgoocaga na kanua gakwa hĩndĩ ciothe.
I will bless Jehovah at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 Ngoro yakwa nĩ Jehova ĩrĩĩrahaga; arĩa anyamaarĩku marĩiguaga ũguo magakena.
My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
3 Goocai Jehova mũmũnenehie mũrĩ hamwe na niĩ; rekei tũtũũgĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩake tũrĩ hamwe.
O magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 Ndarongoririe Jehova, nake akĩnjĩtĩka, akĩndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa mothe maanjĩkagĩra guoya.
I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Andũ arĩa mamũcũthagĩrĩria matheragĩrwo nĩ ũtheri; mothiũ mao gũtirĩ hĩndĩ magaaconorithio.
They looked to him, and were radiant, and their faces shall never be confounded.
6 Mũndũ ũyũ mũthĩĩni aakaĩire Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmũigua, akĩmũhonokia mathĩĩna-inĩ make mothe.
This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 Mũraika wa Jehova aikaraga arangĩire arĩa othe mamwĩtigagĩra, na akamateithũra othe.
The agent of Jehovah encamps round about those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Camai muone atĩ Jehova nĩ mwega; kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũragĩra harĩ we.
O taste and see that Jehovah is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 Mwĩtigĩrei Jehova, inyuĩ andũ ake aamũre, nĩgũkorwo arĩa mamwĩtigĩrĩte gũtirĩ kĩndũ maagaga.
O fear Jehovah, ye his sanctified, for there is no want to those who fear him.
10 Mĩrũũthi no yage gĩa kũrĩa ĩhũte, no arĩa marongoragia Jehova gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩega maagaga.
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.
11 Ũkai ciana ciakwa, mũthikĩrĩrie ũrĩa nguuga; nĩngũmũruta gwĩtigĩra Jehova.
Come, ye children, hearken to me. I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
12 Mũndũ ũrĩa wanyu ũngĩenda gũtũũra muoyo, na erirĩrie kuona matukũ maingĩ mega,
What man is he who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 nĩakĩmenyerere rũrĩmĩ rwake rũtikoige ũũru, na mĩromo yake ndĩkaarie maheeni.
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.
14 Garũrũka utige gwĩka ũũru na wĩke ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire; caragia thayũ na ũũthingatage.
Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Maitho ma Jehova macũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa athingu, na matũ make magathikĩrĩria kĩrĩro kĩao;
The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer.
16 ũthiũ wa Jehova ũũkagĩrĩra andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, nĩguo moima thĩ matikanaririkanwo.
(The face of Jehovah is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.)
17 Andũ arĩa athingu makayaga, Jehova akamaigua; amateithũraga kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe.
They cried, and Jehovah heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.
18 Jehova akoragwo arĩ hakuhĩ na andũ arĩa ahehenjeku ngoro, na akahonokia arĩa athuthĩku roho.
Jehovah is near to those who are of a broken heart, and saves such as are of a contrite spirit.
19 Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu no akorwo arĩ na mathĩĩna maingĩ, no Jehova amũteithũraga harĩ mo mothe;
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Jehovah delivers him out of them all.
20 agitagĩra mahĩndĩ make mothe, gũtirĩ o na rĩmwe rĩngiunĩka.
He keeps all his bones. Not one of them is broken.
21 Andũ arĩa aaganu makooragwo nĩ ũũru; nao arĩa mathũire andũ arĩa athingu nĩmagatuĩrwo ciira.
Evil shall kill the wicked, and those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 Jehova akũũraga ndungata ciake; arĩa othe moragĩra harĩ we gũtirĩ ũgaatuĩrwo ciira.
Jehovah redeems the soul of his servants, and none of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
