Zabbuli 143
1 Zabbuli Ya Dawudi. Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama, wulira okwegayirira kwange! Ggwe omwesigwa era omutuukirivu jjangu ombeere.
A Psalm by David. Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
2 Tonsalira musango, kubanga mu maaso go tewali n’omu atuukiridde.
Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
3 Omulabe wange angoba n’ankwata n’ansuula wansi; anteeka mu kizikiza ne nfaanana ng’abaafa edda.
For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
4 Noolwekyo omwoyo gwange guweddemu endasi, n’omutima gwange gwennyise.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
5 Nzijukira ennaku ez’edda, ne nfumiitiriza ku ebyo bye wakola byonna, ne ndowooza ku mirimu gy’emikono gyo.
I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
6 Ngolola emikono gyange gy’oli, ne nkuyaayaanira ng’ettaka ekkalu bwe liyaayaanira enkuba.
I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (Selah)
7 Yanguwa okunziramu, Ayi Mukama, kubanga omwoyo gwange guggwaamu amaanyi. Tonkisa maaso go, nneme okufaanana ng’abafu.
Hurry to answer me, LORD. My spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, so that I do not become like those who go down into the pit.
8 Obudde nga bukedde, nsaba ondage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo; kubanga ggwe gwe neesiga. Njigiriza ekkubo lye nsaana okutambuliramu, kubanga omwoyo gwange gwonna guli gy’oli.
Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
9 Mponya, Ayi Mukama, abalabe bange, kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
10 Njigiriza okukola by’oyagala, kubanga ggwe Katonda wange! Omwoyo wo omulungi ankulembere, antambulize mu kkubo eddungi ery’omuseetwe.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 Olw’erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, onkuume, mu butuukirivu bwo onzigye mu kabi.
Revive me, LORD, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Omalewo abalabe bange olw’okwagala kwo, ozikirize n’abanjigganya bonna, kubanga nze ndi muddu wo.
In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am your servant.
