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.
[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.
2 Tulee m, O Onyenwe anyị, ma nwakwaa m, nyochaa obi m na echiche m.
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.
3 Nʼihi na ejirila m ịhụnanya gị mere ihe nlere anya nye onwe m. Ana m ejegharịkwa nʼime eziokwu gị.
For thy mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with thy 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 have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.
5 Akpọrọ m otu ndị na-emebi iwu asị. Mụ na ndị ajọ omume agaghị anọkọkwa.
I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].
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 will wash my hands in innocency, and compass thine altar, O Lord:
7 Ana m abụkwa abụ ekele, jiri iti mkpu na-ekwusa otuto gị, na ọrụ ebube gị niile.
to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all thy wonderful works.
8 O Onyenwe anyị, ahụrụ m ụlọ obibi gị nʼanya, ụlọ ahụ ebe ebube gị na-adịgide nʼime ya.
O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house, and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.
9 Ebibikọtala mụ na ndị mmehie, ewezugakọtala ndụ m na nke ndị na-awụfu ọbara,
Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:
10 ndị aka ha jupụtara nʼatụmatụ ọjọọ, aka nri ha jupụtakwara na ngarị.
in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.
11 Ma mụ onwe m na-ebi ndụ zuruoke; gbapụta m ma meere m ebere.
But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.
12 Ụkwụ m na-eguzo nʼala dị larịị; aga m eto Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ọha mmadụ.
My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.
