Psalms 40
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. I waited for the Lord patiently, and he turned to me—he heard my cry for help.
Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. Eji m ndidi chere Onyenwe anyị, ọ tụgharịkwutere m, ọ nụkwaara akwa m.
2 He pulled me out of the pit of destruction, out from the mud and the slime. He set me on a rock, and gave me a safe place to stand.
O sitere nʼolulu na-amị amị, nke apịtị na ụrọ juru, sepụta m; o guzobere ụkwụ m abụọ nʼelu oke nkume, nyekwa m ebe siri ike ka m guzo.
3 He gave me a new song to sing, a song of praise to our God. Many people will see and be in awe, and they will put their trust in him.
O tinyere abụ ọhụrụ nʼọnụ m, abụ otuto nye Chineke anyị. Ọtụtụ ga-ahụ ya ma tụọ egwu, ha ga-atụkwasị obi ha nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
4 Happy are those who trust in the Lord, who do not look for help from the arrogant or from those who worship idols.
Onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ, onye na-eme Onyenwe anyị ebe ntụkwasị obi ya; onye na-adịghị ele ndị mpako anya maọbụ ndị na-atụgharị gbasoo arụsị.
5 Lord my God, you have done so many wonderful things for us, and you have so many plans for us. No one compares to you. I want to tell all that you've done—blessings too many to count.
O Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, ọrụ ebube ị rụrụ dị ọtụtụ, ọ dịghị onye pụrụ ịgụkọta ihe niile ị kwadooro maka inye anyị; a sịkwarị na aga m ekwu ma kọsaa ihe banyere ha, ha karịrị ihe ọnụ pụrụ ikwu.
6 You don't want sacrifices and offerings. Now you have helped me understand—you're not asking for burnt offerings or sin offerings.
Aja na onyinye abụghị ihe ị chọrọ ma ị megheela ntị abụọ; aja nsure ọkụ na aja a chụrụ maka mmehie abụghị ihe ị chọrọ.
7 Then I said, “Look! Here I am! I've come to do what is written about me in the scroll of the Book.
Mgbe ahụ, ekwuru m sị, “Lee m, abịala m, e dere banyere m nʼime akwụkwọ mpịakọta.
8 I am pleased to do your will, my God—your Law guides my mind.”
O Chineke m, ọ bụ ọchịchọ m ime ihe ị na-achọ, iwu gị dị nʼime obi m.”
9 I have announced the good news of salvation to the whole congregation. I don't keep quiet, Lord, as you know.
Ana m anọ nʼetiti ọgbakọ ukwuu na-ekwusa ihe ziri ezi; dịka ị maara, o Onyenwe anyị, anaghị m emechi ọnụ m.
10 I have not kept the truth of your goodness hidden inside me—I have spoken of your trustworthiness and your salvation. I have not concealed your unfailing love and your faithfulness from the whole congregation.
Ekpuchighị m ezi omume gị nʼime obi m, ana m ekwupụta maka ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị na nzọpụta gị. Adịghị m ekpuchi ịhụnanya na eziokwu gị, nʼebe ọgbakọ ukwuu nọ.
11 Lord, please don't keep back your mercy from me. May your trustworthy love and faithfulness always be my protection.
O Onyenwe anyị, ezonarịla m ebere gị, ka ịhụnanya gị na eziokwu gị chebe m oge niile.
12 For I'm experiencing so many problems—I can't even count them! My sins have piled up so high I can't see over them. They're more than the number of hairs on my head! I feel like giving up!
Nʼihi na ọtụtụ nsogbu a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ gbara m gburugburu; mmehie m niile akarịala m, apụghịkwa m ịhụ ụzọ: ha karịrị agịrị isi dị m nʼisi, obi m na-adakwa mba nʼime m.
13 Lord, please save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!
O Onyenwe anyị, ya masị gị ịzọpụta m; O Onyenwe anyị, bịa ngwangwa inyere m aka.
14 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.
Ka ndị niile na-achọ ịnapụ m ndụ m, bụrụ ndị a ga-etinye nʼọnọdụ ihere na ọgbaaghara; ka ndị niile ọ na-amasị ịhụ ịla nʼiyi m, laghachi azụ nʼihere.
15 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.
Ka ndị ahụ na-asị m, “Ehee! Ehee!” kụja nʼihi ihere onwe ha.
16 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “The Lord is great!”
Ma ka ndị niile na-achọ gị ṅụrịa ọṅụ, nweekwa obi ụtọ nʼime gị; ka ndị ahụ hụrụ nzọpụta gị nʼanya na-ekwu mgbe niile, “Onyenwe anyị dị ukwuu.”
17 As for me, I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. Help me! Save me! My God, please don't wait!
Ma mụ onwe m bụ m ogbenye na onye nọ na mkpa; ka Onyenwe anyị cheta m. Ị bụ onye inyeaka m na onye mgbapụta m; Ị bụ Chineke m, anọla ọdụ ịbịa.
