Psalms 143
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness.
Zabbuli Ya Dawudi. Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama, wulira okwegayirira kwange! Ggwe omwesigwa era omutuukirivu jjangu ombeere.
2 And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
Tonsalira musango, kubanga mu maaso go tewali n’omu atuukiridde.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
Omulabe wange angoba n’ankwata n’ansuula wansi; anteeka mu kizikiza ne nfaanana ng’abaafa edda.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Noolwekyo omwoyo gwange guweddemu endasi, n’omutima gwange gwennyise.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I meditate on 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 forth my hands unto you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
Ngolola emikono gyange gy’oli, ne nkuyaayaanira ng’ettaka ekkalu bwe liyaayaanira enkuba.
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Yanguwa okunziramu, Ayi Mukama, kubanga omwoyo gwange guggwaamu amaanyi. Tonkisa maaso go, nneme okufaanana ng’abafu.
8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto you.
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, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto you to hide me.
Mponya, Ayi Mukama, abalabe bange, kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
10 Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Njigiriza okukola by’oyagala, kubanga ggwe Katonda wange! Omwoyo wo omulungi ankulembere, antambulize mu kkubo eddungi ery’omuseetwe.
11 Restore life in me, O LORD, for your name's sake: for your righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
Olw’erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, onkuume, mu butuukirivu bwo onzigye mu kabi.
12 And of your mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
Omalewo abalabe bange olw’okwagala kwo, ozikirize n’abanjigganya bonna, kubanga nze ndi muddu wo.
