1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, ndũkandũithie ũrĩ na marakara, kana ũũherithie ũrĩ na mangʼũrĩ.
A psalm of David to make remembrance. O Yahweh may not in anger your you rebuke me and in wrath your may you chasten me.
2 Nĩgũkorwo mĩguĩ yaku nĩĩtheceete, na guoko gwaku nĩ kũũhũrĩte mũno.
For arrows your they have penetrated me and it has come down on me hand your.
3 Ndirĩ na ũgima wa mwĩrĩ tondũ wa mangʼũrĩ maku; mahĩndĩ makwa nĩmarũaru nĩ ũndũ wa mehia makwa.
There not [is] soundness in flesh my because of indignation your there not [is] health in bones my because of sin my.
4 Mahĩtia makwa nĩmanditũhĩire mũno o ta mũrigo mũritũ itangĩhota gũkuua.
For iniquities my they have passed over head my like a burden heavy they are [too] heavy for me.

6 Thiiaga ndĩĩhacĩte, ngakungĩrĩra mũno, mũthenya wothe ndindaga ngĩcakaya.
I am bent down I am bent over up to muchness all the day mourning I have gone about.
7 Mũgongo wakwa ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ ruo ta rwa mwaki; ndirĩ na ũgima wa mwĩrĩ.
For loins my they are full burning [pain] and there not [is] soundness in flesh my.
8 Ndĩ mũmocu na ngathuthĩka biũ; ndĩracaaya nĩ ruo rwa ngoro.
I am numb and I am crushed up to muchness I roar from [the] groaning of heart my.
9 Wee Mwathani, wendi wakwa wothe ũrĩ o mbere yaku; gũcaaya gwakwa ti kũhitharu harĩwe.
O Lord [is] before you all desire my and sighing my from you not it is hidden.
10 Ngoro yakwa nĩĩratuuma mũno, naguo hinya wakwa nĩgũthira ũrathira; o na ũtheri nĩumĩte maitho-inĩ makwa.
Heart my it palpitates it has left me strength my and [the] light of eyes my also they not [are] with me.
11 Arata na athiritũ akwa matiendaga kũnguhĩrĩria nĩ ũndũ wa ironda ciakwa; o na andũ a itũũra rĩakwa manjikaraga haraihu.
Friends my - and companions my from before plague my they stand and kinsmen my from a distance they have stood.
12 Andũ arĩa mendaga kũnjũraga nĩ mĩtego mandegagĩra, arĩa mendaga kũnjĩka ũũru maaragia ũrĩa mangĩnyũnũha; mũthenya wothe mathugundaga o maheeni.
And they set traps - [those who] seek life my and [those who] seek harm my they have spoken destruction and deceit all the day they devise.
13 Niĩ haana ta mũndũ gĩtaigua, ũrĩa ũtaiguaga, ngahaana ta mũndũ ũtaaragia, ũrĩa ũtangĩtumũra kanua gake;
And I [am] like a deaf [person] not I hear and like a dumb [person] [who] not he opens mouth his.
14 nduĩkĩte ta mũndũ ũtaiguaga, ũrĩa kanua gake gatarĩ ũndũ kangĩhota gũcookia.
And I have become like a man who not [is] hearing and there not in mouth his [are] arguments.
15 Wee Jehova, Wee nĩwe njetagĩrĩra; Wee Mwathani Ngai wakwa, Wee nĩwe ũkũnjookeria ũhoro.
For for you O Yahweh I have waited you you will answer O Lord God my.
16 Nĩgũkorwo ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Ndũkanareke thũ ciakwa ingenerere, o na kana ciĩtũũgĩrie igũrũ rĩakwa rĩrĩa kũgũrũ gwakwa gwatenderũka.”
For I said lest they should rejoice to me when slips foot my on me they magnified themselves.

And enemies my life they are numerous and they are many [those who] hate me falsehood.
20 Andũ arĩa mandĩhaga wega wakwa na ũũru manjambagia rĩrĩa niĩ ngũthingata ũndũ ũrĩa mwega.
And [those who] repay evil in place of good they accuse me in place of (pursuing my *Q(k)*) good.
21 Wee Jehova, ndũkandiganĩrie; Wee Ngai wakwa, ndũgaikare haraihu na niĩ.
May not you forsake me O Yahweh O God my may not you be distant from me.
22 Ũka narua ũndeithie, Wee Mwathani, Mũhonokia wakwa.
Make haste! to help my O Lord salvation my.
