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 of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

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.

I will give heed unto the way of integrity; Oh when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

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 will set no base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.

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

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil thing.

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.

Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.

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 are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a way of integrity, he shall minister unto me.

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

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

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.

Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
