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.
TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF DAVID. In my calling answer me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity You gave enlargement to me; Favor 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?
Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
3 Menyai atĩ Jehova nĩeyamũrĩire arĩa mamwendete; Jehova nĩarĩiguaga rĩrĩa ndamũkaĩra.
And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
4 Mũngĩrakara mũtikehie; rĩrĩa mũrĩ marĩrĩ-inĩ manyu-rĩ, thuthuuragiai ngoro cianyu mwĩkirĩire.
“Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
5 Rutagai magongona marĩa magĩrĩire, na mwĩhokage Jehova.
Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
6 Kũrĩ andũ aingĩ maroria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩtuonia maũndũ mega?” Wee Jehova reke ũtheri wa gĩthiithi gĩaku ũtwarĩre.
Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
7 Wee nĩũnjiyũrĩtie gĩkeno kĩnene ngoro-inĩ yakwa, gũkĩra kĩrĩa makoragwo nakĩo hĩndĩ ya bũthi wa ngano na ndibei ya mũhihano.
You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
8 Niĩ ndĩrĩkomaga na nyonage toro ndĩ na thayũ, nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova nĩwe ũikaraga ũũmenyereire wega.
Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
