< Thaburi 4 >

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Njĩtĩka rĩrĩa ndagũkaĩra, Wee Ngai wakwa, o Wee mũthingu. Ũndeithagie rĩrĩa ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ; njiguĩra tha na ũigue mahooya makwa.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 Inyuĩ, andũ aya, nĩ nginya rĩ mũgũtũũra mũtũmaga riiri wakwa ũnyararwo? Nĩ nginya rĩ mũgũtũũra mwendete maũndũ ma tũhũ, na mũkarongoragia ngai cia maheeni?
O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? how long will you love vanity, and seek after leasing? (Selah)
3 Menyai atĩ Jehova nĩeyamũrĩire arĩa mamwendete; Jehova nĩarĩiguaga rĩrĩa ndamũkaĩra.
But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4 Mũngĩrakara mũtikehie; rĩrĩa mũrĩ marĩrĩ-inĩ manyu-rĩ, thuthuuragiai ngoro cianyu mwĩkirĩire.
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Rutagai magongona marĩa magĩrĩire, na mwĩhokage Jehova.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 Kũrĩ andũ aingĩ maroria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩtuonia maũndũ mega?” Wee Jehova reke ũtheri wa gĩthiithi gĩaku ũtwarĩre.
There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance on us.
7 Wee nĩũnjiyũrĩtie gĩkeno kĩnene ngoro-inĩ yakwa, gũkĩra kĩrĩa makoragwo nakĩo hĩndĩ ya bũthi wa ngano na ndibei ya mũhihano.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 Niĩ ndĩrĩkomaga na nyonage toro ndĩ na thayũ, nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova nĩwe ũikaraga ũũmenyereire wega.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.
