A Prayer of David. Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.
2 Gitĩra muoyo wakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩheanĩte harĩwe. Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa; honokia ndungata yaku ĩno ĩkwĩhokete.
Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.

Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Nĩgũkorwo Wee Mwathani ũrĩ mwega na nĩũrekanagĩra, ũkaingĩhia wendo kũrĩ arĩa othe magũkayagĩra.
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.
6 Igua ihooya rĩakwa, Wee Jehova; thikĩrĩria ikaya rĩakwa ũnjiguĩre tha.
Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.

In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.
8 Wee Mwathani, thĩinĩ wa ngai ciothe gũtirĩ ĩngĩ tawe; gũtirĩ ciĩko ingĩhaananio na ciaku.
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.
9 Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria ũmbĩte nĩigooka igũthathaiye irĩ mbere yaku, Wee Mwathani; nĩikarehera rĩĩtwa rĩaku riiri.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.
10 Nĩgũkorwo Wee ũrĩ mũnene, na nĩwĩkaga ciĩko cia kũgegania; Wee wiki nowe Ngai.
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.
11 Wee Jehova, nyonagĩrĩria njĩra ciaku, nĩgeetha thiiage na mĩthiĩre ya ma; he ngoro ĩĩrutĩire kũna, nĩguo ndĩĩtigagĩre rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 Nĩgũkorwo wendo waku nĩ mũnene harĩ niĩ; nĩũndeithũrĩte kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ o kũrĩa kũriku mũno. (Sheol h7585)
For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 Wee Ngai, andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmaraatharĩkĩra; gĩkundi kĩa andũ matarĩ tha nĩmaracaria muoyo wakwa, o andũ acio matakũrũmbũyagia.
O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.
15 No Wee, Wee Mwathani, ũrĩ Mũrungu mũigua tha na ũrĩ mũtugi, ndũhiũhaga kũrakara, na ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo na wĩhokeku.
But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.
16 Wĩhũgũre ũndore na ũnjiguĩre tha; he ndungata ĩno yaku hinya waku, na ũhonokie mũriũ wa ndungata yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja.
Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Nyonia kĩmenyithia kĩa wega waku, nĩguo thũ ciakwa ikĩone iconorithio, nĩgũkorwo Wee, Wee Jehova, nĩũndeithĩtie na ũkaahooreria.
Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.
