Abụ Ọma 54

1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Abụ eji ụbọ akwara akpọ. Abụ maskil Devid. Mgbe ndị Zif gara sị Sọl, “Devid ọ dịghị ezo nʼetiti anyị?” O Chineke, jiri aha gị zọpụta m; jirikwa ike gị kpepụta m.

For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.

2 O Chineke, nụrụ ekpere m; gee ntị nʼokwu ọnụ m.

O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 Ndị m na-amaghị na-ebuso m agha; ndị na-eme ihe ike na-achọ ịnapụ m ndụ m, ndị na-akpọghị Chineke ihe ọbụla. (Sela)

For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Nʼezie, Chineke bụ onye inyeaka m; onyenwe m bụ onye na-agba m ume.

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.

5 Mee ka ihe ọjọọ lọghachikwute ndị na-ekwulu m; nʼime ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị, laa ha nʼiyi.

He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

6 Aga m eji onyinye afọ ofufu chụọrọ gị aja; O Onyenwe anyị, aga m eto aha gị, nʼihi na ọ dị mma.

With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 Nʼihi na ọ gbapụtala m site na nsogbu m niile, ọ bụ anya mmeri ka m ji na-ele ndị iro m anya.

For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.
