Abụ Ọma 16
1 Abụ miktam nke Devid. Chebe m, O Chineke, nʼihi na nʼime gị ka m gbabara izere ndụ.
A michtam of David. Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 A gwara m Onyenwe anyị, “Ị bụ Onyenwe m, e wezuga gị, enwekwaghị m ọdịmma ọbụla.”
I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, my happiness rests in you alone.
3 Ana m asị maka ndị nsọ bụ ndị nọ nʼala a, “Ha bụ ndị a na-asọpụrụ, ndị ihe ha nʼatọ m ụtọ.”
Those who are holy in the land, they, they alone, are the noble ones; all my delight is in them.”
4 Iru ụjụ nke ndị ahụ na-agbaso chi ndị ọzọ ga-aba ụba. Agaghị m eso ha wụsa aja ihe ọṅụṅụ ọbara nye chi ndị a, maọbụ were egbugbere ọnụ m kpọọ aha ha.
Those who choose other gods find endless sorrow. In their offerings of blood I will have no part nor take their name on my lips.
5 Onyenwe anyị, i nyeela m oke m na iko m; ị na-elekọta ihe niile bụ nke m site nʼife nza.
The Lord is my share and my portion, my fate is in your strong hands.
6 Ọtụtụ oke ala niile dabara m nʼebe dị ezi mma; nʼezie, e nwere m ihe nketa nke na-enye m ọṅụ.
The boundary lines of my life mark out delightful country, my heritage pleases me well.
7 Aga m eto Onyenwe anyị, onye na-adụ m ọdụ; ọ bụladị nʼabalị, obi m na-agwa m ihe m ga-eme.
I praise the Lord for his counsel, which so stirs my heart in the night.
8 Ana m elekwasị Onyenwe anyị anya mgbe niile. Ebe ọ nọ nʼaka nri m, agaghị m ama jijiji.
I keep the Lord always in mind: with him at my hand, I can never be moved.
9 Nʼihi nke a, obi dị m ụtọ, ire m jupụtakwara nʼọṅụ; aga m anọkwa nʼudo.
So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.
10 Nʼihi na ị gaghị ahapụ m nʼala mmụọ, ị gaghị ekwekwa ka Onye gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi hụ ire ure. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 I gosila m ụzọ ndụ; ị ga-eji ọṅụ mejupụta obi m nʼihu gị; ya na ihe ụtọ ndị dị nʼaka nri gị ruo ebighị ebi.
You will show me the path that leads to life, to that fulness of joy which is in your presence, and the pleasures dispensed by your hand evermore.
