Abụ Ọma 43

1 O Chineke, kpepụta m, kpechitere m ikpe m nʼebe mba na-amaghị Chineke nọ; gbapụta m site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume na ndị aghụghọ.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man.

2 Ị bụ Chineke, ebe m e wusiri ike. Gịnị mere i ji jụ m? Gịnị mere m ga-eji na-ejegharị nʼiru ụjụ, nʼihi mmegbu nke onye iro?

For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou cast me off? why go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Zipụ ìhè gị na eziokwu gị, ka ha duo m; ka ha kpọbata m nʼugwu nsọ gị, bụ ebe i bi.

Send out thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations.

4 Mgbe ahụ, aga m aga nʼebe ịchụ aja Chineke, gakwuru Chineke, bụ ọṅụ m na obi ụtọ m. Aga m eji ụbọ akwara too gị, O Chineke, bụ Chineke m.

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto the God of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.

5 O mkpụrụobi m, gịnị mere i ji daa mba? Gịnị mere i ji na-asụ ude nʼime m? Nwee olileanya na Chineke, nʼihi na m ka ga-eto ya ọzọ, onye Nzọpụta m na Chineke m.

Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
