Zabbuli 138

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

“A psalm of David.” I will praise thee with my whole heart; Before the gods will I sing praise to thee;

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 praise thy name for thy goodness and thy truth; For thy promise thou hast magnified above all thy name!

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

In the day when I called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD! When they hear the promises of thy mouth!

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

Yea, they shall sing of 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.

The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know from afar.

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 walk through the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies; Thou wilt save me by thy right hand!

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

The LORD will perform all things for me; Thy goodness, O LORD! endureth ever: Forsake not the works of thine hands!
