Zabbuli 20

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Mukama akwanukulenga ng’oli mu buzibu. Erinnya lya Katonda wa Yakobo likukuumenga.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 Akuweerezenga obuyambi obuva mu kifo kye ekitukuvu; akudduukirirenga okuva ku lusozi Sayuuni.

May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

3 Ajjukirenga ssaddaaka zo zonna z’omuwa, era asiimenga ebiweebwayo byo ebyokebwa.

May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

4 Akuwenga omutima gwo bye gwetaaga, era atuukirizenga by’oteekateeka byonna.

May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

5 Tulijaganya olw’obuwanguzi bwo, ne tuwuuba ebendera zaffe mu linnya lya Katonda waffe. Mukama akuwenga byonna by’omusaba.

May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

6 Kaakano ntegedde nga Mukama awanguza oyo gwe yafukako amafuta, amwanukula ng’amuwa obuwanguzi n’omukono gwe ogwa ddyo, ng’asinziira mu ggulu lye ettukuvu.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

7 Abamu beesiga amagaali, n’abalala beesiga embalaasi, naye ffe twesiga erinnya lya Mukama Katonda waffe.

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8 Batalantuka ne bagwa wansi ne balemerawo, naye ffe tugolokoka ne tuyimirira nga tuli banywevu.

They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

9 Ayi Mukama, lokola kabaka, otwanukule bwe tukukoowoola.

O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
