Zabbuli 16
1 Ya Dawudi. Onkuume, Ayi Katonda, kubanga ggwe buddukiro bwange.
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 Nagamba Mukama nti, “Ggwe Mukama wange, ebirungi byonna bye nnina biva gy’oli.”
[O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
3 Abatukuvu abali mu nsi be njagala era mu bo mwe nsanyukira.
[But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
4 Ennaku y’abo abagoberera bakatonda abalala yeeyongera. Siriwaayo ssaddaaka zaabwe ez’omusaayi, wadde okusinza bakatonda baabwe.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god: ] their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 Mukama, ggwe mugabo gwange, era ggw’oliisa obulamu bwange; era ggw’olabirira ebyange.
The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 Ensalo zange ziri mu bifo ebisanyusa, ddala ddala omugabo omulungi.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places; ] yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 Nnaatenderezanga Mukama kubanga annuŋŋamya ne mu kiro ayigiriza omutima gwange.
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 Nkulembeza Mukama buli kiseera, era ali ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, siinyeenyezebwenga.
I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Noolwekyo omutima gwange gusanyuka, n’akamwa kange ne kajaguza; era n’omubiri gwange gunaabeeranga mu mirembe.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Olindaga ekkubo ery’obulamu; w’oli we wanaabanga essanyu erijjuvu, era mu mukono gwo ogwa ddyo nga mwe muli ebisanyusa emirembe gyonna.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore.
