1 Jehova nĩarathamaka, thĩ nĩĩgĩkene; mabũrũri marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria nĩmacanjamũke.
For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
2 Athiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ matu na nduma ndumanu; ũthingu na kĩhooto nĩcio mũthingi wa gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Mwaki ũmũthiiaga mbere ũgĩcinaga thũ ciake na mĩena yothe.
Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
4 Heni ciake imũrĩkaga thĩ yothe; thĩ ĩcionaga ĩkainaina.
His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Irĩma itwekaga o ta mũhũra mbere ya Jehova, igatweka irĩ mbere ya Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Igũrũ rĩanagĩrĩra ũthingu wake, nao andũ othe makoona riiri wake.
The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
7 Andũ arĩa othe mahooyaga mĩhianano mĩicũhie nĩmaconorithagio, acio meerahaga na mĩhianano: inyuĩ ngai ici, mũinamĩrĩrei mũmũhooe.
Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you his angels.
8 Zayuni ĩiguaga ũguo ĩgakena, namo matũũra ma Juda magacanjamũka, tondũ wa matuĩro maku ma ciira, Wee Jehova.
Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord.
9 Nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova, nĩwe Ũrĩa-Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno wa thĩ yothe; wee nĩũtũũgĩrĩtio mũno igũrũ rĩa ngai ciothe.
For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.
10 Arĩa endi Jehova nĩmathũũre ũũru, nĩgũkorwo nĩagitagĩra mĩoyo ya arĩa ake ehokeku, na akamateithũra kuuma moko-inĩ ma arĩa aaganu.
You that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
11 Ũtheri nĩwarĩire arĩa athingu na arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro makaiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.
Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Kenerai Jehova, inyuĩ arĩa athingu, mũkĩgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩamũre.
Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
