1 Jehova nĩarathamaka, thĩ nĩĩgĩkene; mabũrũri marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria nĩmacanjamũke.
The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.
2 Athiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ matu na nduma ndumanu; ũthingu na kĩhooto nĩcio mũthingi wa gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.
3 Mwaki ũmũthiiaga mbere ũgĩcinaga thũ ciake na mĩena yothe.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.
4 Heni ciake imũrĩkaga thĩ yothe; thĩ ĩcionaga ĩkainaina.
His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.
5 Irĩma itwekaga o ta mũhũra mbere ya Jehova, igatweka irĩ mbere ya Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.
The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Igũrũ rĩanagĩrĩra ũthingu wake, nao andũ othe makoona riiri wake.
The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.
7 Andũ arĩa othe mahooyaga mĩhianano mĩicũhie nĩmaconorithagio, acio meerahaga na mĩhianano: inyuĩ ngai ici, mũinamĩrĩrei mũmũhooe.
Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.
8 Zayuni ĩiguaga ũguo ĩgakena, namo matũũra ma Juda magacanjamũka, tondũ wa matuĩro maku ma ciira, Wee Jehova.
Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.
9 Nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova, nĩwe Ũrĩa-Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno wa thĩ yothe; wee nĩũtũũgĩrĩtio mũno igũrũ rĩa ngai ciothe.
For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art 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.
Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.
11 Ũtheri nĩwarĩire arĩa athingu na arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro makaiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.
Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Kenerai Jehova, inyuĩ arĩa athingu, mũkĩgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩamũre.
Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
