Zabbuli 138

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

By David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

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 bow down towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

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

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

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

Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the LORD’s glory is great!

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

For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud 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 in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

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

The LORD will fulfil that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
