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.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.
2 Tulee m, O Onyenwe anyị, ma nwakwaa m, nyochaa obi m na echiche m.
Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.
3 Nʼihi na ejirila m ịhụnanya gị mere ihe nlere anya nye onwe m. Ana m ejegharịkwa nʼime eziokwu gị.
For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene 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 have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.
5 Akpọrọ m otu ndị na-emebi iwu asị. Mụ na ndị ajọ omume agaghị anọkọkwa.
I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.
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 among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,
7 Ana m abụkwa abụ ekele, jiri iti mkpu na-ekwusa otuto gị, na ọrụ ebube gị niile.
so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.
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 your house and the dwelling place of your glory.
9 Ebibikọtala mụ na ndị mmehie, ewezugakọtala ndụ m na nke ndị na-awụfu ọbara,
O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,
10 ndị aka ha jupụtara nʼatụmatụ ọjọọ, aka nri ha jupụtakwara na ngarị.
in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.
11 Ma mụ onwe m na-ebi ndụ zuruoke; gbapụta m ma meere m ebere.
But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.
12 Ụkwụ m na-eguzo nʼala dị larịị; aga m eto Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ọha mmadụ.
My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
