Abụ Ọma 70

1 Abụ Ọma dịrị onyeisi abụ. Nke Devid. Arịrịọ. O Chineke, gbata ọsọ bịa zọpụta m, O Onyenwe anyị, bịa ngwangwa inyere m aka.

For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw near, O God, to my help.

2 Ka ndị niile na-achọ ịnapụ m ndụ m, bụrụ ndị a ga-etinye nʼọnọdụ ihere na ọgbaaghara. Ka ndị ọ na-amasị ịhụ ịla nʼiyi m laghachi azụ nʼihere.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

3 Ka ndị ahụ na-asị m, “Ehee! Ehee!” laghachi azụ nʼihi ihere ha.

Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

4 Ma ka ndị niile na-achọ gị ṅụrịa ọṅụ, nweekwa obi ụtọ nʼime gị, ka ndị ahụ hụrụ nzọpụta gị nʼanya na-ekwu mgbe niile, “Onyenwe anyị dị ukwuu.”

Let all that seek you exult and be glad in you: and let those that love your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 Ma mụ onwe m bụ ogbenye na onye nọ na mkpa; O Chineke, mee ngwangwa bịakwute m. Ị bụ onye inyeaka m na onye mgbapụta m; O Onyenwe anyị, anọla ọdụ ịbịa.

But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: you are my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
