Thaburi 63
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, nĩwe Mũrungu wakwa, Wee-rĩ, nĩwe nongoragia na kĩyo; ngoro yakwa nĩwe ĩnyootagĩra, na mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩwe wĩriragĩria, ndĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ mũũmũ na wa mĩnoga, o ũyũ ũtarĩ maaĩ.
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.
2 Nĩnguonete ũrĩ handũ-harĩa-haamũre, na ngeyonera hinya waku na riiri waku.
So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.
3 Tondũ wendo waku nĩ mwega gũkĩra muoyo guo mwene-rĩ, mĩromo yakwa nĩĩrĩkũgoocaga.
For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.
4 Ndĩrĩkũgoocaga hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra muoyo, ngoocage rĩĩtwa rĩaku nyambararĩtie moko makwa.
So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.
5 Ngoro yakwa ĩiganĩire ta ĩrĩĩte irio iria njega mũno; nako kanua gakwa nĩkarĩkũgoocaga, mĩromo yakwa ĩgakũinĩra.
My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;
6 Ngũririkanaga ndĩ ũrĩrĩ; ndĩciiragia ũhoro waku ũtukũ wothe.
When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.
7 Tondũ Wee nĩwe ũteithio wakwa-rĩ, nyinagĩra kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa mathagu maku.
For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.
8 Ngoro yakwa nĩĩnyiitĩrĩire harĩwe; guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo gũkaanyiitĩrĩra.
My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.
9 Andũ arĩa macaragia muoyo wakwa nĩguo maũniine nĩmakanangwo; magaatoonyerera na thĩ nginya kũrĩa kũriku mũno.
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.
10 Makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora matuĩke irio cia mbwe.
They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 No rĩrĩ, mũthamaki nĩagakena nĩ ũndũ wa Ngai; andũ arĩa othe mehĩtaga makĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai nĩmakamũgooca, natuo tũnua twa arĩa maaragia maheeni nĩtũgaakirio.
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
