Zabbuli 23

1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Mukama ye Musumba wange, seetaagenga.

A Psalm. Of David. The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

2 Angalamiza ne mpummulira mu ddundiro ly’omuddo omuto. Antwala awali amazzi amateefu.

He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

3 Akomyawo emmeeme yange. Annuŋŋamya okukola eby’obutuukirivu olw’erinnya lye.

He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

4 Newaakubadde nga ntambulira mu kiwonvu eky’ekisiikirize eky’olumbe, siritya kabi konna; kubanga ggwe oli nange. Oluga lwo n’omuggo gwo bye binsanyusa.

Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

5 Onsosootolera emmere abalabe bange nga balaba; onsiize amafuta ku mutwe, ekikompe kyange kiyiwa.

You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

6 Ddala ddala obulungi n’okwagala okutaggwaawo binaagendanga nange ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwange; nange nnaabeeranga mu nnyumba ya Mukama, ennaku zonna.

Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.
