Zabbuli 23

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

A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

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

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

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

My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

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

Also — when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod and Thy staff — they comfort me.

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

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

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

Only — goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
