Psalms 142

1 Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. With my voice I cry unto the LORD; with my voice I make supplication unto the LORD.

Thaburi ya Daudi Ngayagĩra Jehova nyanĩrĩire; ngwambararia mũgambo wakwa kũrĩ Jehova anjiguĩre tha.

2 I pour out my complaint before Him, I declare before Him my trouble;

Njitũrũraga mateta makwa mbere yake; ndĩrĩmwĩraga thĩĩna wakwa ndĩ mbere yake.

3 When my spirit fainteth within me — Thou knowest my path — in the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.

Rĩrĩa roho wakwa waringĩka thĩinĩ wakwa, Wee nĩwe ũmenyaga njĩra ĩrĩa ndĩrĩgera. Njĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa thiiagĩra-rĩ, andũ nĩmahithĩire mũtego.

4 Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man that knoweth me; I have no way to flee; no man careth for my soul.

Ta rora mwena wakwa wa ũrĩo wone; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũranũmbũiya. Ndirĩ na ha kũũrĩra; muoyo wakwa gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩũmenyerera.

5 I have cried unto Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'

Wee Jehova, nĩwe ngayagĩra; njugaga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa, na igai rĩakwa bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.”

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me.

Thikĩrĩria gũkaya gwakwa, nĩgũkorwo ndĩĩmũhinyĩrĩrie mũno; ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa mathingatanĩte na niĩ, nĩgũkorwo marĩ na hinya mũno kũngĩra.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto Thy name; the righteous shall crown themselves because of me; for Thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

Njohorithia kuuma kĩoho-inĩ gĩakwa, nĩguo ngoocage rĩĩtwa rĩaku. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakandigiicĩria, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũnjĩkĩte wega.
