1 Abụ nrigo. Aga m eweli anya m abụọ elu, lee ha nʼelu ugwu niile, olee ebe inyeaka ga-esi bịara m?

A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 Inyeaka m na-esite nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, onye kere eluigwe na ụwa bịa.

My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

3 Ọ gaghị ekwe ka ụkwụ gị gbụchapụ, onye na-eche gị nche na-amụ anya oge niile;

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 nʼezie onye na-eche Izrel nche adịghị arahụ ụra, ọ dịghị atụkwa oru ụra.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Onyenwe anyị na-eche gị nche, Onyenwe anyị bụ ndo gị nʼaka nri gị;

The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 anyanwụ agaghị achagbu gị nʼehihie, ọnwa agaghị etigbukwa gị nʼabalị.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Onyenwe anyị ga-edebe gị ka ihe ọjọọ ọbụla ghara ịdakwasị gị. Ọ ga na-eche ndụ gị nche mgbe niile.

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 Onyenwe anyị ga-echebe gị mgbe ị na-apụ na mgbe ị na-abata abata, site ugbu a ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi.

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
