Psalms 61

1 For the end, amongst the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer.

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Wulira okukaaba kwange, Ayi Katonda; wulira okusaba kwange.

2 From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:

Nkukoowoola okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi, omutima gwange nga gugenda gunafuwa. Onkulembere ontuuse ku lwazi olunsinga obuwanvu mwe nnyinza okwekweka.

3 because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

Kubanga gw’oli kiddukiro kyange. Oli kigo eky’amaanyi mwe neekweka omulabe.

4 I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. (Pause)

Nnaabeeranga mu weema yo ennaku zonna; ndyoke nkuumirwenga mu biwaawaatiro byo.

5 For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.

Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Katonda, owulidde obweyamo bwange: ompadde omugabo awamu n’abo abatya erinnya lyo.

6 You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations.

Oyongere ku nnaku z’obulamu bwa kabaka; emyaka gye gimutuuse mu mirembe mingi,

7 He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

alyoke abeerenga mu maaso ga Katonda ennaku zonna. Okwagala kwo n’obwesigwa bwo bimukuumenga.

8 So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Ndyoke nnyimbenga nga ntendereza erinnya lyo ennaku zonna, nga ntuukiriza obweyamo bwange buli lunaku.
