Abụ Ọma 26

1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Onyenwe anyị, biko kpepụta m, nʼihi na ebiela m ndụ zuruoke; atụkwasịrị m Onyenwe anyị obi, na-eleghị anya nʼazụ.

Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

2 Tulee m, O Onyenwe anyị, ma nwakwaa m, nyochaa obi m na echiche m.

Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

3 Nʼihi na ejirila m ịhụnanya gị mere ihe nlere anya nye onwe m. Ana m ejegharịkwa nʼime eziokwu gị.

For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

4 Mụ na ndị na-aghọ aghụghọ adịghị enwe mmekọ ọbụla. Otu a kwa, nnwekọ ọbụla adịghịkwa nʼetiti mụ na ndị ihu abụọ.

I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

5 Akpọrọ m otu ndị na-emebi iwu asị. Mụ na ndị ajọ omume agaghị anọkọkwa.

I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.

6 Ana m asacha aka m abụọ nʼọnọdụ emeghị ihe ọjọọ, na-eje ozi nʼebe ịchụ aja gị ife gị ofufe, o Onyenwe anyị.

I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

7 Ana m abụkwa abụ ekele, jiri iti mkpu na-ekwusa otuto gị, na ọrụ ebube gị niile.

to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.

8 O Onyenwe anyị, ahụrụ m ụlọ obibi gị nʼanya, ụlọ ahụ ebe ebube gị na-adịgide nʼime ya.

O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

9 Ebibikọtala mụ na ndị mmehie, ewezugakọtala ndụ m na nke ndị na-awụfu ọbara,

Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

10 ndị aka ha jupụtara nʼatụmatụ ọjọọ, aka nri ha jupụtakwara na ngarị.

in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

11 Ma mụ onwe m na-ebi ndụ zuruoke; gbapụta m ma meere m ebere.

But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 Ụkwụ m na-eguzo nʼala dị larịị; aga m eto Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ọha mmadụ.

My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
