Zabbuli 47

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

For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with the sound of triumph.

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

For Yahweh Most High is terrifying; he is a great King over all the earth.

3 Yatujeemululira abantu, n’atujeemululira amawanga ne tugafuga.

He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet.

4 Yatulondera omugabo gwaffe, Yakobo gw’ayagala mwe yeenyumiririza.

He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

5 Katonda alinnye waggulu ng’atenderezebwa mu maloboozi ag’essanyu eringi. Mukama alinnye nga n’amakondeere gamuvugira.

God has gone up with a shout, Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.

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

Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

7 Kubanga Katonda ye Kabaka w’ensi yonna, mumutendereze ne Zabbuli ey’ettendo.

For God is the King over all the earth; sing praises with understanding.

8 Katonda afuga amawanga gonna; afuga amawanga ng’atudde ku ntebe ye entukuvu.

God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.

9 Abakungu bannaggwanga bakuŋŋanye ng’abantu ba Katonda wa Ibulayimu; kubanga Katonda y’afuga abakulembeze b’ensi. Katonda agulumizibwenga nnyo.

The princes of the peoples have gathered together to the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.
