Zabbuli 54

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi, Abazifu bwe bajja ne babuulira Sawulo nti, “Dawudi yeekwese mu ffe.” Olw’erinnya lyo ondokole, Ayi Katonda, n’amaanyi go amangi onzigyeko omusango.

Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might.

2 Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Katonda, owulirize ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange.

Hear my prayer, O God. Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 Abantu be simanyi bannumba; abantu abalina ettima abatatya Katonda; bannoonya okunzita.

For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul. They have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Laba, Katonda ye mubeezi wange, Mukama ye mukuumi wange.

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is of those who uphold my soul.

5 Leka ebintu ebibi byonna bye bantegekera, bibeekyusize, obazikirize olw’obwesigwa bwo.

He will requite the evil to my enemies. Destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 Nnaakuleeteranga ssaddaaka ey’ekyeyagalire; ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ddungi.

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to thee. I will give thanks to thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

7 Kubanga Katonda amponyezza ebizibu byange byonna; era amaaso gange galabye ng’awangula abalabe bange.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble, and my eye has seen it upon my enemies.
