< Thaburi 54 >
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, honokia nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku; ndĩhĩria na hinya waku.
For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
2 Wee Ngai, igua ihooya rĩakwa; thikĩrĩria ciugo cia kanua gakwa.
Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.
3 Andũ ageni nĩmanjũkĩrĩire; nao andũ matarĩ tha nĩmaracaria muoyo wakwa, o andũ acio matarũmbũyagia Ngai.
For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They have not set God before them. (Selah)
4 Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩwe ũteithio wakwa; Mwathani nĩwe ũndiiragĩrĩra.
Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
5 Cookereria andũ arĩa manjambagia ũũru wao; Wee maniine nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku.
He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
6 Nĩngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa kwĩyendera; nĩngũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, tondũ nĩ rĩega.
With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.
7 Nĩgũkorwo nĩahonoketie mathĩĩna-inĩ makwa mothe, na maitho makwa nĩmeyoneire gũtoorio gwa thũ ciakwa.
For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
