Zabbuli 138

1 Zabbuli Ya Dawudi. Nnaakutenderezanga Ayi Mukama, n’omutima gwange gwonna; ne mu maaso ga bakatonda abalala nnaayimbanga okukutendereza.

A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to thee before the angels; for thou hast heard all the words of my mouth.

2 Nvuunama nga njolekedde Yeekaalu yo Entukuvu, ne ntendereza erinnya lyo olw’okwagala kwo n’olw’obwesigwa bwo; kubanga wagulumiza ekigambo kyo n’erinnya lyo okusinga ebintu byonna.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name, on account of thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy holy name above every thing.

3 Olunaku lwe nakukoowoolerako wannyanukula; n’onnyongeramu amaanyi mu mwoyo gwange.

In whatsoever day I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily; thou shalt abundantly provide me with thy power in my soul.

4 Bakabaka bonna ab’omu nsi banaakutenderezanga, Ayi Mukama, nga bawulidde ebigambo ebiva mu kamwa ko.

Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks unto thee; for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

5 Banaatenderezanga ebikolwa byo Ayi Mukama; kubanga ekitiibwa kya Mukama kinene.

And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 Newaakubadde nga Mukama asukkulumye, naye afaayo eri abo abeetoowaza; naye abeegulumiza ababeera wala.

For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

7 Newaakubadde nga neetooloddwa ebizibu, naye ggwe okuuma obulamu bwange; ogolola omukono gwo eri abalabe bange abakambwe, era omukono gwo ogwa ddyo ne gumponya.

Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, thou wilt quicken me; thou hast stretched forth thine hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand has saved me.

8 Mukama alituukiriza ebyo by’anteekeddeteekedde; kubanga okwagala kwo, Ayi Mukama, kubeerera emirembe gyonna. Tolekulira ebyo bye watonda.

O Lord, thou shalt recompense [them] on my behalf: thy mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of thine hands.
