To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a poem of David. Give ear to! O God prayer my and may not you hide yourself from supplication my.
2 ṅaa m ntị, zaakwa m. Echiche m na-esogbu m; ana m asụkwa oke ude
Pay attention! to me and answer me I am restless in complaint my and I am distraught.
3 nʼihi ihe onye iro m na-ekwu, nʼihi ịba mba nke ndị ajọ mmadụ, nʼihi na ha na-ewetara m ntaramahụhụ, na-akpagbu m nʼiwe ha.
From [the] sound of an enemy because of [the] pressure of [the] wicked for they drop on me wickedness and in anger they are hostile to me.
4 Obi m nọ nʼọnọdụ oke ihe mgbu nʼime m; oke ụjọ nke ọnwụ abịakwasịla m.
Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
5 Ịtụ egwu na ahụ ịma jijiji abịakwasịkwala m; oke egwu ekpuchiela m.
Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
6 Agwara m onwe m okwu sị, “A sịkwarị na m nwere nku dịka nduru! Agaara m efelaga ebe ọzọ gaa zuru ike.
And I said who? will he give [will belong] to me wing[s] like dove I want to fly away and I want to settle down.
7 Agaara m efelaga ebe dị anya, ga nọrọ nʼọzara; (Sela)
Here! I want to be far away [surely] to flee I want to lodge in the wilderness (Selah)
8 Agaara m eme ngwangwa gaa nʼebe mgbaba m, ebe dị anya site nʼebe ifufe siri ike na oke ifufe dị.”
I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
9 O Onyenwe anyị, gbagwojuo ndị ajọ omume anya, mee ka ha ghara ịghọta ihe ibe ha na-ekwu, nʼihi na ana m ahụ ihe ike na ịlụ ọgụ nʼime obodo.
Confuse O Lord divide tongue their for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Ehihie na abalị, ha na-ejegharị nʼelu mgbidi ya; iro na mmegbu dị nʼime ya.
By day and night they go around it on walls its and wickedness and trouble [are] in midst its.
11 A na-ahụta akaọrụ ihe ịla nʼiyi nʼime obodo; ihe ike na ụgha ewerela ọnọdụ ha nʼime obodo.
Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
12 A sị na ọ bụ onye iro ji m eme ihe ọchị, apụrụ m ịnagide ya; a sịkwa na ọ bụ onye iro na-eweli onwe ya megide m, apụrụ m izonarị onwe m site nʼebe ọ nọ.
For not an enemy he taunts me and I may endure not [one who] hates me on me he magnified himself then I may hide myself from him.
13 Maọbụ gị, nwoke dịka m, onye mụ na ya dị na mma, enyi m ọma,
And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.

15 Ka ọnwụ bịakwasị ndị iro m na mberede; ka ha rịdaa ala mmụọ na ndụ, nʼihi na ihe ọjọọ na-achọta ebe ọnọdụ nʼetiti ha. (Sheol h7585)
(May it deceive death - *Q(K)*) on them may they go down Sheol alive for evil deeds [are] in sojourning-place their in inner being their. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ma akpọkuru m Chineke, Onyenwe anyị na-azọpụtakwa m.
I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.

They were smooth - [the] creamy things of mouth his and [was] war heart his they were soft words his more than oil and they [were] drawn swords.
22 Tụkwasị Onyenwe anyị mkpa gị niile, ọ ga-agba gị ume; ọ gaghị ekwe ka ewezuga onye ezi omume.
Cast on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.

And you O God - you will bring down them - to [the] pit of [the] pit people of blood and deceit not they will divide in half days their and I I will trust in you.
