God, you are the God whom I [worship]. I greatly desire to be with you like [SIL] a person in a dry hot desert greatly desires [some cool water].
2 Nĩnguonete ũrĩ handũ-harĩa-haamũre, na ngeyonera hinya waku na riiri waku.
So, I want to see you in your temple; I want to see that you are great and glorious.
3 Tondũ wendo waku nĩ mwega gũkĩra muoyo guo mwene-rĩ, mĩromo yakwa nĩĩrĩkũgoocaga.
Your constantly loving [me] is (worth more/more precious) than [my] life, so I [MTY] will [always] praise you.
4 Ndĩrĩkũgoocaga hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra muoyo, ngoocage rĩĩtwa rĩaku nyambararĩtie moko makwa.
I will praise you all the time that I live; I will lift up my hands to you while I pray.
5 Ngoro yakwa ĩiganĩire ta ĩrĩĩte irio iria njega mũno; nako kanua gakwa nĩkarĩkũgoocaga, mĩromo yakwa ĩgakũinĩra.
[Knowing you satisfies me more than] [IDM, MET] my eating a very big feast, [so] I will praise you while I sing [MTY] joyful songs.
6 Ngũririkanaga ndĩ ũrĩrĩ; ndĩciiragia ũhoro waku ũtukũ wothe.
While I lie on my bed, I think about you. I think/meditate about you all during the night,
7 Tondũ Wee nĩwe ũteithio wakwa-rĩ, nyinagĩra kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa mathagu maku.
because you have always helped me, and I sing joyfully knowing that I am protected by you [as a little bird is protected] under [its mother’s] wings [MET].
8 Ngoro yakwa nĩĩnyiitĩrĩire harĩwe; guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo gũkaanyiitĩrĩra.
I cling to you; and with your hand/power you protect me.
9 Andũ arĩa macaragia muoyo wakwa nĩguo maũniine nĩmakanangwo; magaatoonyerera na thĩ nginya kũrĩa kũriku mũno.
But those who are trying to kill me will [die and] descend into the place of the dead;
10 Makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora matuĩke irio cia mbwe.
they will be killed in battles [MTY] and their [corpses] will be eaten by jackals/wild dogs.
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 I, the king [of Israel], will rejoice in what God has done; and all those who revere and trust God will praise him, but he will not allow liars to say anything.
