A contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving kindness of the LORD forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
2 Aga m ekwupụta na ịhụnanya gị na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; na i mere ka ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị, guzosie ike nʼeluigwe.
I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.”

“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,

‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” (Selah)

For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who amongst the sons of the heavenly beings is like the LORD,

a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him?

I will also make his offspring endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 “Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ ya elefuo iwu m niile anya, gharakwa ijegharị nʼụzọ m niile,
If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances;
31 ọ bụrụ na ha elelịa ụkpụrụ m niile anya, hapụkwa idebe ihe m nyere ha nʼiwu,
if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments;
32 aga m eji mkpọrọ taa ha ahụhụ maka mmehie ha, tikwaa ha ụtarị maka njehie ha;

Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.
36 na agbụrụ ya ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ocheeze ya ga-adịgidekwa nʼihu m ka anyanwụ na-adịgide.
His offspring will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me.
37 Ọ ga-adịgide ruo ebighị ebi dịka ọnwa. E, dịka ọnwa ahụ, onye akaebe m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi na mbara eluigwe.” (Sela)
It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)

You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 Ndị niile si ụzọ ahụ na-agafe, ezuruchaala ihe niile o nwere. Ndị agbataobi ya na-akwakwa ya emo.
All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbours.

You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
43 I meela ka aka o ji jide mma agha ya sụọ ngọngọ, i nyereghị ya aka mgbe agha dara.
Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle.
44 I meela ka ịma mma ya gwụsịa. Ị tụdakwala ocheeze ya nʼala.
You have ended his splendour, and thrown his throne down to the ground.
45 I meela ka ụbọchị ndụ nke okorobịa ya dị mkpụmkpụ. I ji ihere dịka akwa kpuchie ya.
You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. (Selah)
46 Ruo ole mgbe Onyenwe anyị, ka ị ga-ezonarị onwe gị? Ruo ole mgbe ka iwe gị dị ukwuu ga-eregide dịka ọkụ?
How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?
47 Cheta, na ndụ m bụ ihe na-agafe ngwangwa. Nʼihi ihe efu gịnị ka i ji kee mmadụ niile!
Remember how short my time is, for what vanity you have created all the children of men!

What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 O Onyenwe anyị, olee ebe oke ịhụnanya mbụ dị, nke i sitere nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi gị ṅụọrọ Devid nʼiyi?
Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
50 Onyenwe m, cheta otu e si leda ndị ohu gị anya, otu m si anagide nʼime obi m ịchị ọchị niile nke ndị mba niile.
Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
51 O Onyenwe anyị, ịchị ọchị nke ndị iro gị ji akwa m emo, nke ha ji lelịa nzọ ụkwụ niile nke onye gị i tere mmanụ.
With which your enemies have mocked, LORD, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
52 Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Blessed be the LORD forever more. Amen, and Amen.
