< Thaburi 54 >

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, honokia nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku; ndĩhĩria na hinya waku.
Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
2 Wee Ngai, igua ihooya rĩakwa; thikĩrĩria ciugo cia kanua gakwa.
Sh'ma ·Hear obey· 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 haven’t set God before them. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
4 Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩwe ũteithio wakwa; Mwathani nĩwe ũndiiragĩrĩra.
Behold, God is my helper. 'Adonay [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 yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your name, Adonai, 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.
