“By David, when he disguised his reason before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.” I will bless the Lord at all times: continually shall his praise be in my mouth.
2 Mkpụrụobi m ga-anya isi na Onyenwe anyị; ka ndị niile a na-akpagbu gee ntị ṅụrịa ọṅụ.
My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear it, and be rejoiced.

Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and from all that I dreaded did he deliver me.
5 Ihu ndị na-elekwasị ya anya na-enwu dịka ihe; ihere adịghị eme ha.
They [who] looked unto him, were indeed enlightened, and their faces were not put to the blush.
6 Onye ogbenye a kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, ọ zakwara ya; ọ zọpụtara ya site na nsogbu ya niile.
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and out of all his distresses did he save him.
7 Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị na-agba ndị niile na-atụ egwu ya gburugburu na-anapụtakwa ha.
The angel of the Lord encampeth round about those who fear him, and delivereth them.
8 Jiri aka gị tulee ma hụkwa na Onyenwe anyị dị mma; onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ, onye nke na-agbaba nʼime ya.
Experience and see that the Lord is good: happy is the man that trusteth in him.
9 Tụọnụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị nsọ ya, nʼihi na ọ dịghị ihe na-akọ ndị niile na-atụ egwu ya.
Oh fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to those who fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not want any good.
11 Ụmụ m, bịanụ gee m ntị; aga m ezi unu ihe ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị bụ.
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: the fear of the Lord will I teach you.
12 Onye ọbụla nʼime unu hụrụ ndụ nʼanya, ma nwee ọchịchọ ihu ọtụtụ ụbọchị ndị dị mma,
Who is the man that desireth life, loveth [many] days, that he may see happiness?
13 chezie ire gị ka ọ ghara ikwu ihe ọjọọ, chezikwaa egbugbere ọnụ gị ka ọ gharakwa ịgha ụgha.
Guard thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.
14 Site nʼihe ọjọọ wezuga onwe gị ma mee ezi ihe, chọọ udo ma gbasookwa ya.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Anya Onyenwe anyị dị nʼahụ ndị ezi omume, ntị ya gheekwa oghe nye mkpu akwa ha;
The eyes of the Lord are directed unto the righteous, and his ears unto their cry.
16 ma ihu Onyenwe anyị na-emegide ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, ime ka a hapụ ichetakwa ihe banyere ha nʼụwa.
[But] the anger of the Lord is against those that do evil, to cut off from the earth their remembrance.

Those cry, and the Lord heareth, and from all their distresses he delivereth them.

The Lord is nigh unto those that are broken-hearted: and he saveth those that are of a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord ever delivereth him.

He watcheth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

The evil will slay the wicked: and they who hate the righteous shall incur guiltiness.

The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and all that trust in him shall not incur guiltiness.
