< 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.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.
2 Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Katonda, owulirize ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange.
O God, hear my prayer; 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 the violent seek after my life: 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 among them that uphold my soul.
5 Leka ebintu ebibi byonna bye bantegekera, bibeekyusize, obazikirize olw’obwesigwa bwo.
He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.
6 Nnaakuleeteranga ssaddaaka ey’ekyeyagalire; ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ddungi.
I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.
7 Kubanga Katonda amponyezza ebizibu byange byonna; era amaaso gange galabye ng’awangula abalabe bange.
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
