Zabbuli 108
1 Oluyimba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Omutima gwange munywevu, Ayi Katonda; nnaayimbanga ne nkutendereza n’omwoyo gwange gwonna.
Song of a Psalm by David. O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.
2 Muzuukuke, mmwe entongooli n’ennanga ey’enkoba, nzija kuyimba okukeesa obudde.
Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.
3 Nnaakutenderezanga, Ayi Mukama, mu bantu bonna, nnaakuyimbiranga mu mawanga gonna.
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to you among the Gentiles.
4 Okwagala kwo kunene, kutumbiira okutuuka ku ggulu; n’obwesigwa bwo butuuka ku bire.
For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.
5 Ogulumizibwenga, Ayi Katonda, okuyisa eggulu; n’ekitiibwa kyo kibune ensi yonna.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
6 Tulokole otuyambe n’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, abo booyagala banunulibwe.
That your beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;
7 Katonda ayogedde ng’asinziira mu kifo kye ekitukuvu n’agamba nti, “Nga nzijudde essanyu, ndisala mu Sekemu, era n’Ekiwonvu kya Sukkosi ndikigabanyagabanyaamu.
I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.
8 Ensi ya Gireyaadi yange, n’eya Manase nayo yange. Efulayimu mwe muli abalwanyi bange abazira; ate mu Yuda mwe munaavanga bakabaka.
Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;
9 Mowaabu be baweereza bange abawulize; ate Edomu be baddu bange; Abafirisuuti ndibaleekaanira mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ery’obuwanguzi.”
Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.
10 Ani anantuusa ku kibuga ekigumu ekinywevu? Ani anankulembera okunnyingiza mu Edomu?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?
11 Si ggwe, ayi Katonda, atusudde, atakyatabaala n’amaggye gaffe?
Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Tudduukirire nga tulwanyisa abalabe baffe, kubanga obuyambi bw’abantu temuli nsa.
Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.
13 Bwe tunaabeeranga ne Katonda tunaabanga bawanguzi; kubanga y’anaalinnyiriranga abalabe baffe wansi w’ebigere bye.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.
