Thaburi 54

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, honokia nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku; ndĩhĩria na hinya waku.

Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

2 Wee Ngai, igua ihooya rĩakwa; thikĩrĩria ciugo cia kanua gakwa.

O God, hear my prayer: give ear 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; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

4 Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩwe ũteithio wakwa; Mwathani nĩwe ũndiiragĩrĩra.

For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

5 Cookereria andũ arĩa manjambagia ũũru wao; Wee maniine nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku.

Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.

6 Nĩngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa kwĩyendera; nĩngũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, tondũ nĩ rĩega.

I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

7 Nĩgũkorwo nĩahonoketie mathĩĩna-inĩ makwa mothe, na maitho makwa nĩmeyoneire gũtoorio gwa thũ ciakwa.

For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
