Thaburi 70

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, hiũha ũũhonokie; Wee Jehova ũka narua ũndeithie.

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2 Andũ arĩa mendaga kũnjũraga maroconorithio na manyiitwo nĩ kĩrigiicano; arĩa othe mendaga nyanangwo marocooka na thuutha maconokete.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

3 Andũ arĩa mathekagĩrĩra makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Haiya! Haiya!” marocooka na thuutha maconokete.

May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

4 No arĩa othe makũrongoragia marokena na macanjamũke; arĩa mendete ũhonokio waku marotũũra moigaga atĩrĩ, “Ngai arotũgĩrio!”

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

5 No rĩrĩ, niĩ ndĩ mũthĩĩni na mũbatari; Wee Ngai, hiuha ũũke kũrĩ niĩ. Wee nĩwe ũteithio wakwa na mũhonokia wakwa; Wee Jehova, ndũkagonderere gũũka kũndeithia.

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
