1 Jehova nĩarathamaka, ndũrĩrĩ nĩcikĩinaine; aikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene arĩ gatagatĩ ka makerubi, thĩ nĩĩthingithe.

The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

2 Jehova nĩ mũnene Zayuni; nĩatũũgĩrĩte igũrũ rĩa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.

The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

3 Andũ nĩmakĩgooce rĩĩtwa rĩaku inene na rĩa gwĩtigĩrwo: we nĩwe mũtheru.

Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

4 Mũthamaki nĩ arĩ hinya, na nĩendete kĩhooto: nĩũrũmĩtie ũtuithania wa ciira ũrĩa mwerekereru; nĩwĩkĩte maũndũ ma kĩhooto na ma ũthingu thĩinĩ wa Jakubu.

The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

5 Tũũgĩriai Jehova Ngai witũ, na mũmũinamĩrĩre, mũmũhooe mũrĩ gĩturwa-inĩ kĩa makinya make; we nĩwe mũtheru.

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

6 Musa na Harũni maarĩ amwe a athĩnjĩri-Ngai ake, nake Samũeli aarĩ ũmwe wa arĩa maakayagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩake; maakayagĩra Jehova nake akametĩka.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

7 Aamaragĩria arĩ thĩinĩ wa gĩtugĩ kĩa itu; makĩrũmia mawatho make na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩrĩa aamaheete.

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

8 Wee Jehova Ngai witũ-rĩ, nĩwametĩkaga; harĩ Isiraeli warĩ Mũrungu mũrekanĩri, o na gũtuĩka nĩwamaherithagia nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao njũru.

You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

9 Tũũgĩriai Jehova Ngai witũ, na mũmũhooyage mũrĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩake kĩamũre, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ mũtheru.

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
