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.” Be thou my judge, O LORD! for I have walked in uprightness. I have put my trust in the LORD, therefore shall I not fall.

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

Examine me, O LORD! and prove me; Try 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 kindness is ever before my eyes, And I walk in 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 sit not with men of falsehood. And go not in company with dissemblers.

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

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And do not 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. And go around thine altar. O LORD!

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

To utter the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all thy wondrous 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 habitation of thy house, The place where thine honor dwelleth!

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

Gather not my breath with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood,

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

In whose hands is mischief, And whose right hands are full of bribes!

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

But as for me, I walk in my integrity; Oh, 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 tread in a straight path; In the congregation will I bless the LORD.
