Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.
Zabbuli Ya Dawudi. Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama, wulira okwegayirira kwange! Ggwe omwesigwa era omutuukirivu jjangu ombeere.
2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
Tonsalira musango, kubanga mu maaso go tewali n’omu atuukiridde.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.
Omulabe wange angoba n’ankwata n’ansuula wansi; anteeka mu kizikiza ne nfaanana ng’abaafa edda.
4 My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.
Noolwekyo omwoyo gwange guweddemu endasi, n’omutima gwange gwennyise.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
Nzijukira ennaku ez’edda, ne nfumiitiriza ku ebyo bye wakola byonna, ne ndowooza ku mirimu gy’emikono gyo.
6 I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
Ngolola emikono gyange gy’oli, ne nkuyaayaanira ng’ettaka ekkalu bwe liyaayaanira enkuba.
7 Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.
Yanguwa okunziramu, Ayi Mukama, kubanga omwoyo gwange guggwaamu amaanyi. Tonkisa maaso go, nneme okufaanana ng’abafu.
8 Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.
Obudde nga bukedde, nsaba ondage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo; kubanga ggwe gwe neesiga. Njigiriza ekkubo lye nsaana okutambuliramu, kubanga omwoyo gwange gwonna guli gy’oli.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
Mponya, Ayi Mukama, abalabe bange, kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Njigiriza okukola by’oyagala, kubanga ggwe Katonda wange! Omwoyo wo omulungi ankulembere, antambulize mu kkubo eddungi ery’omuseetwe.
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Olw’erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, onkuume, mu butuukirivu bwo onzigye mu kabi.
12 And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.
Omalewo abalabe bange olw’okwagala kwo, ozikirize n’abanjigganya bonna, kubanga nze ndi muddu wo.
