Zabbuli 101

1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Nnaayimbanga ku kwagala kwo n’obutuukirivu bwo; nnaayimbiranga ggwe, Ayi Mukama.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

2 Nneegenderezanga, mu bulamu bwange ne nkola eby’obutuukirivu, naye olijja ddi gye ndi? Nnaabeeranga mu nnyumba yange nga siriiko kya kunenyezebwa.

I will ponder the way that is blameless— when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

3 Sijjanga kwereetereza kintu kyonna ekibi. Nkyayira ddala ebikolwa by’abo abava mu kkubo lyo; sijjanga kubyeteekako.

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

4 Sijjanga kuba mukuusa; ekibi nnaakyewaliranga ddala.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

5 Oyo alyolyoma muliraanwa we mu kyama, nnaamuzikiririzanga ddala; amaaso ag’amalala n’omutima ogw’amalala sijja kubigumiikirizanga.

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

6 Abeesigwa abali mu nsi yaffe nnaabasanyukiranga, balyoke babeerenga nange; akola eby’obutuukirivu y’anamperezanga.

My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.

7 Atayogera mazima taabeerenga mu nnyumba yange. Omuntu alimba sirimuganya kwongera kubeera nange.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

8 Buli nkya nnaazikirizanga abakola ebibi bonna mu nsi, bwe ntyo abakozi b’ebibi ne mbamalirawo ddala mu kibuga kya Mukama.

Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
