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.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

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

Hear my prayer, O 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 oppressors seek 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 with them that uphold my soul.

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

He shall reward evil to my enemies: cut them off 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.

I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise 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 my eye hath seen its desire upon my enemies.
