Abụ Ọma 5

1 Abụ Ọma. Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Ọ bụ opi ka e ji abụ ya. Abụ Ọma nke Devid. Onyenwe anyị, biko, nụrụ ekpere m tulee ịsụ ude m.

For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.

2 Geekwa ntị nʼakwa arịrịọ m, gị Chineke onye bụ eze m. Nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị gị ka m na-akpọku.

Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.

3 Ụtụtụ ụbọchị niile, O Onyenwe anyị, ị ga-anụ olu m; aga m ekwupụtara gị ihe niile na-akpa m mkpa. Aga m elekwa anya ọsịsa gị.

Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.

4 Ị bụ Chineke, onye ihe ọjọọ ọbụla anaghị atọ ụtọ; gị na ndị ajọ omume apụghị ibikọta.

For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.

5 Ndị mpako agaghị eguzo nʼihu gị. Ị kpọrọ ndị niile na-eme ihe ọjọọ asị.

The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

6 Ị ga-ala ndị niile na-agha ụgha nʼiyi; Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ ndị ogbu mmadụ niile na ndị aghụghọ niile asị.

You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

7 Ma mụ onwe m, aga m abata nʼime ụlọ gị, site nʼoke ịhụnanya gị; aga m ejikwa ịtụ egwu kpọọ isiala nʼebe ụlọnsọ ukwuu gị dị.

But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

8 Onyenwe anyị, biko, duo m nʼime ezi omume gị nʼihi ndị iro m; mee ka ụzọ gị zie ezi nʼihu m.

Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

9 Obi ha jupụtara nʼechiche ịla nʼiyi, a pụghị ịtụkwasị okwu ọbụla si ha nʼọnụ pụta obi. Akpịrị ha bụ ili ghere oghe; ha ji ire ha ekwu okwu ụgha.

Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

10 Maa ha ikpe, Chineke. Mee ka nzube ọjọọ ha niile bụrụ ọdịda ha. Chụpụ ha nʼihi ịba ụba nke ọtụtụ mmehie ha, nʼihi na ha enupula isi megide gị.

God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, for they have rebelled against you.

11 Ma mee ka onye ọbụla na-agbaba nʼime gị ṅụrịa; mee ka ha nọgide na-eti mkpu ọṅụ. Were aka nchebe gị kpuchie ha, ka ndị niile hụrụ aha gị nʼanya ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼime gị.

But may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.

12 Nʼezie, O Onyenwe anyị, ị na-agọzi onye ezi omume. Ị na-eji ihuọma gị gbaa ha gburugburu dịka ọta.

For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
