< Zabbuli 143 >

1 Zabbuli Ya Dawudi. Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama, wulira okwegayirira kwange! Ggwe omwesigwa era omutuukirivu jjangu ombeere.
A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications: In thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.
2 Tonsalira musango, kubanga mu maaso go tewali n’omu atuukiridde.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy 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 hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
4 Noolwekyo omwoyo gwange guweddemu endasi, n’omutima gwange gwennyise.
Therefore is my spirit 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 thy doings; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 Ngolola emikono gyange gy’oli, ne nkuyaayaanira ng’ettaka ekkalu bwe liyaayaanira enkuba.
I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a weary land. (Selah)
7 Yanguwa okunziramu, Ayi Mukama, kubanga omwoyo gwange guggwaamu amaanyi. Tonkisa maaso go, nneme okufaanana ng’abafu.
Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that 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 thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Mponya, Ayi Mukama, abalabe bange, kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee 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 thy will; For thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; Lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 Olw’erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, onkuume, mu butuukirivu bwo onzigye mu kabi.
Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name’s sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Omalewo abalabe bange olw’okwagala kwo, ozikirize n’abanjigganya bonna, kubanga nze ndi muddu wo.
And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant.
