< 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.
Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
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 have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
4 Laba, Katonda ye mubeezi wange, Mukama ye mukuumi wange.
For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
5 Leka ebintu ebibi byonna bye bantegekera, bibeekyusize, obazikirize olw’obwesigwa bwo.
Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.
6 Nnaakuleeteranga ssaddaaka ey’ekyeyagalire; ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ddungi.
I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:
7 Kubanga Katonda amponyezza ebizibu byange byonna; era amaaso gange galabye ng’awangula abalabe bange.
For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
