Psalms 143
1 “A psalm of David.” O Lord, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.
Abụ Ọma Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, nụrụ ekpere m, gekwaa ntị nʼakwa arịrịọ m maka amara; nʼihi ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị na ezi omume gị, bịa nyere m aka.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for no living man can be regarded righteous before thee.
Edubatala m nʼọnọdụ ikpe m ikpe, nʼihi na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla dị ndụ bụ onye ezi omume nʼihu gị.
3 For the enemy hath pursued my soul; he hath crushed to the ground my life; he hath made me dwell in darkness, as those that are dead eternally.
Onye iro na-achụ m ọsọ, ọ na-azọpịa ndụ m nʼala; na-emekwa ka m nọdụ nʼọchịchịrị, dịka ndị nwụrụ anwụ nʼogologo oge gara aga.
4 And my spirit within me is overwhelmed: in my bosom is my heart astounded.
Ya mere mmụọ m na-ada mba nʼime m ụjọ jupụtakwara m nʼobi.
5 I remember the days of olden times: I meditate on all thy doings: on the work of thy hands do I reflect.
Ana m echeta ụbọchị niile ndị ahụ gara aga; ana m atụgharị uche nʼọrụ gị niile na-echekwa echiche banyere ihe niile aka gị rụrụ.
6 I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul [longeth] for thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
Ana m agbasa aka m abụọ nye gị; agụụ gị na-agụ mkpụrụobi m dịka agụụ mmiri ozuzo si agụ ala kpọrọ nkụ. (Sela)
7 Hasten, answer me, O Lord, my spirit falleth: hide not thy face from me, that I may not become like those that go down into the pit.
O Onyenwe anyị, zaa m ọsịịsọ; mmụọ m na-ada mba. Ezonarịla m ihu gị, ma ọ bụghị ya, aga m adị ka ndị na-arịda ruo nʼili.
8 Cause me to hear in the morning thy kindness; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way whereon I should walk; for unto thee do I lift up my soul.
Mee ka m nụrụ okwu ịhụnanya gị nke na-adịghị agharịpụ nʼisi ụtụtụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ gị ka m tụkwasịrị obi. Zi m ụzọ m kwesiri ịgbaso, nʼihi na ọ bụ gị ka m na-eweli mkpụrụobi m nye.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies: by thee do I seek shelter.
O Onyenwe anyị, gbapụta m site nʼaka ndị iro m, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼime gị ka m na-ezo onwe m.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; guide me on a level land.
Kuziere m ime uche gị, nʼihi na ị bụ Chineke m; ka ezi Mmụọ gị duo m nʼala dị larịị.
11 For thy sake, O Lord, revive me: in thy righteousness bring forth out of distress my soul.
O Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi aha gị chebe ndụ m; nʼime ezi omume gị, napụta m site na nsogbu.
12 And in thy kindness destroy my enemies, and annihilate all the adversaries of my soul; far I am thy servant.
Nʼime ịhụnanya gị na-adịghị agharịpụ, kpochapụ ndị iro m; laa ndị niile kpọrọ m asị nʼiyi, nʼihi na abụ m ohu gị.
