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.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

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

Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

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

For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God.

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

Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

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

He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

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

Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

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

For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.
