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

To the Overseer, by David. — 'To cause to remember.' O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.

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 Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

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

Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, 'Aha, aha.'

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 those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, 'God is 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.

And I [am] poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
