Abụ Ọma 24

1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ya bụ nke Onyenwe anyị; ụwa na ndị niile bi nʼime ya.

Of David. A psalm. The earth is the Lord’s and all that it holds, the world and those who live in it.

2 Ọ tọrọ ntọala ya nʼime oke osimiri niile, o mekwara ka o guzosie ike.

For he founded it on the seas, and on the floods he sustains it.

3 Onye bụ onye ahụ nwere ike irigo nʼelu ugwu Onyenwe anyị? Onye nwere ike ịbata guzo nʼime ụlọnsọ ya?

Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?

4 Ọ bụ onye aka ya emeghị ihe ọjọọ, obi ya dịkwa ọcha, onye na-adịghị atụkwasị obi na chi arụsị, maọbụ ṅụọ iyi aghụghọ.

The clean of hands, the pure of heart, who sets not their heart upon sinful things, nor swears with intent to deceive:

5 Ha ga-anata ngọzị site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, natakwa mkpepụta site nʼaka Chineke Onye nzọpụta ha.

they win from the Lord a blessing: God is their champion and savior.

6 Otu a ka ọ ga-adịrị ọgbọ ndị ya, bụ ndị na-achọ ihu gị, Chineke nke Jekọb. (Sela)

Such must be those who resort to him, and seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

Lift high your heads, you gates – Higher, you ancient doors; welcome the glorious king.

8 Onye bụ eze ebube a? Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye bụ dimkpa na dike. Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye bụ dike nʼagha.

“Who is the glorious king?” “The Lord strong and heroic, the Lord heroic in battle.”

Lift high your heads, you gates – Higher, you ancient doors; welcome the glorious king.

“Who is the glorious king?” “The Lord, the God of hosts, he is the glorious king.” (Selah)
