Abụ Ọma 61

1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ ọma Devid nke eji ụbọ akwara akpọ. Nụrụ akwa m, O Chineke, gee ntị nʼekpere m.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

2 Ana m akpọku gị site na nsọtụ nke ụwa, ana m akpọku gị mgbe obi m na-ada mba; duru m gaa nʼoke nkume ahụ nke karịrị m elu.

From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Nʼihi na ị bụrịị ebe mgbaba m, na ụlọ ahụ dịkarịrị elu, sie ike imegide onye iro ahụ.

For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

4 Ọ na-agụ m ibi nʼụlọ ikwu gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ka m gbaba, zere ndụ nʼokpuru nku gị abụọ. (Sela)

Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

5 Nʼihi na gị onwe gị, Chineke, anụla nkwa niile m kwere; i nyela m ihe nketa nke ndị na-atụ egwu aha gị.

For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

6 Tụkwasị ọtụtụ ụbọchị na ndụ eze, mee ka afọ ya ruo ọtụtụ ọgbọ.

Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

7 Kwere ka ọ nọrọ nʼocheeze nʼihu Chineke ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; zidata ịhụnanya gị na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị, ka ha na-echezikwa ya.

May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

8 Mgbe ahụ, aga m abụ abụ otuto nye aha gị, ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Aga m emezukwa nkwa m kwere gị ụbọchị niile.

Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
