Abụ Ọma 101

1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Aga m abụ abụ banyere ịhụnanya gị na ikpe gị ziri ezi; o Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ gị ka m ga-abụku abụ otuto.

A Psalm of David. I will sing to thee, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,

2 Aga m enwe uche ị hụ na m biri ndụ na-enweghị ịta ụta ọbụla, olee mgbe ị ga-abịakwute m? Aga m ejikwa obi nke a na-agaghị ata ụta ọbụla jegharịa nʼime ụlọ m.

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 Agaghị m edo ihe jọgburu onwe ya nʼihu m. Ana m akpọ ọrụ ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi asị. Agaghị m enwekwa oke nʼime ya.

I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

4 Ndị obi ha gbagọrọ agbagọ agaghị anọ m nso. Agakwaghị m etinye aka nʼọrụ ọjọọ ọbụla.

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

5 Onye ọbụla na-ekwulu onye agbataobi ya na nzuzo, onye ahụ ka m ga-emechi ọnụ; agaghị m anabata onye ọbụla dị mpako ma nwee obi nganga.

Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

6 Aga m elekwasị ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼala a anya, ka mụ na ha biri; onye ahụ na-eje ije na-enweghị ịta ụta ọbụla ga-ejere m ozi.

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

7 Onye ọbụla na-aghọ aghụghọ agaghị ebi nʼụlọ m; onye ọbụla na-ekwu okwu ụgha agaghị eguzokwa nʼihu m.

The proud doer dwelt not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

8 Ụtụtụ niile ka m na-eme ka ha dere duu bụ ndị ajọ omume niile nọ nʼala a; Aga m ebipụ ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe site nʼobodo Onyenwe anyị.

Early did I slay all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
