1 Onyenwe anyị bụ eze, ka ụwa niile nwee obi ụtọ; ka ndị niile bi nʼebe dị anya ṅụrịa.
The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.
2 Igwe ojii na oke ọchịchịrị gbara ya gburugburu; ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi bụ ntọala ocheeze ya.
Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.
3 Ọkụ na-enwu enwu na-aga nʼihu ya ọ na-erepịasị ndị iro ya nʼakụkụ ya ọbụla.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.
4 Amụma ya na-acha chazuo elu ụwa niile; ụwa niile na-ahụ ya na-ama jijiji.
His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.
5 Ugwu niile na-agbaze dịka mmanụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihu Onyenwe ụwa niile.
The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Eluigwe na-ekwuwapụta ezi omume ya; ndị niile bi nʼụwa na-ahụkwa ebube ya.
The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.
7 A na-eme ka ihere mee ndị niile na-efe arụsị niile a pịrị apị ofufe, ndị na-anya isi na chi niile e jiri aka mee feenụ ya ofufe, unu chi niile!
Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.
8 Zayọn na-anụ ma na-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ, obodo nta niile nke Juda na-enwekwa obi ụtọ nʼihi ikpe gị, O Onyenwe anyị.
Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.
9 Nʼihi na gị, O Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu nʼụwa niile; ị bụ onye e buliri elu karịa chi ndị ọzọ niile.
For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted above all gods.
10 Ka unu, ndị hụrụ Onyenwe anyị nʼanya, kpọọ ihe ọjọọ asị, nʼihi na ọ na-echebe ndụ ndị nke ya, ndị tụkwasịrị ya obi ma na-anapụtakwa ha site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume.
Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.
11 Ìhè na-amụkwasị onye ezi omume, ọṅụ na-adịkwa nʼime obi onye na-eme ihe ziri ezi.
Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị ezi omume, tookwanụ aha nsọ ya.
Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
