1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Mukube mu ngalo mmwe amawanga gonna; muyimuse amaloboozi muyimbire nnyo Katonda ennyimba ez’essanyu;

Unto the end. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. All nations, clap your hands. Shout joyfully to God with a voice of exultation.

2 Mukama Ali Waggulu Ennyo wa ntiisa. Ye Kabaka afuga ensi yonna.

For the Lord is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.

3 Yatujeemululira abantu, n’atujeemululira amawanga ne tugafuga.

He has subjected the peoples to us and subdued the nations under our feet.

God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.

6 Mutendereze Katonda, mumutendereze. Mumutendereze Kabaka waffe, mumutendereze.
