A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I [am] poor and needy.
2 Gitĩra muoyo wakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩheanĩte harĩwe. Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa; honokia ndungata yaku ĩno ĩkwĩhokete.
Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O 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 plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaakorwo na thĩĩna nĩngagũkaĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩũkanjĩtĩka.
In the day of my trouble 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, O Lord; neither [are there any works] 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 alone.

Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my 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 )
For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol )
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 assemblies of violent [men] have sought after my soul; and 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, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 Wĩhũgũre ũndore na ũnjiguĩre tha; he ndungata ĩno yaku hinya waku, na ũhonokie mũriũ wa ndungata yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon 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: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
