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 chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Does David not hide himself with us?” Save me, God, by your name, and judge me in your might.

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

Hear my prayer, God; 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 have risen up against me, and pitiless men have sought after my life; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

See, God is my helper; the Lord is the one who upholds me.

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

He will repay my enemies with evil; in your faithfulness, destroy them!

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

I will sacrifice to you with a freewill offering; I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, 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 has rescued me from every trouble; my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
