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 Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

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

Hear my prayer, God. Listen 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. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)

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

Look, God is my helper. The LORD is the one who sustains my soul.

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

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

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

With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, 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 out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
