Zabbuli 61

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Wulira okukaaba kwange, Ayi Katonda; wulira okusaba kwange.

Hear my cry, O God. Attend to my prayer.

2 Nkukoowoola okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi, omutima gwange nga gugenda gunafuwa. Onkulembere ontuuse ku lwazi olunsinga obuwanvu mwe nnyinza okwekweka.

From the end of the earth I will call to thee when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Kubanga gw’oli kiddukiro kyange. Oli kigo eky’amaanyi mwe neekweka omulabe.

For thou have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4 Nnaabeeranga mu weema yo ennaku zonna; ndyoke nkuumirwenga mu biwaawaatiro byo.

I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever. I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

5 Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Katonda, owulidde obweyamo bwange: ompadde omugabo awamu n’abo abatya erinnya lyo.

For thou, O God, have heard my vows. Thou have given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.

6 Oyongere ku nnaku z’obulamu bwa kabaka; emyaka gye gimutuuse mu mirembe mingi,

Thou will prolong the king's life. His years shall be as many generations.

7 alyoke abeerenga mu maaso ga Katonda ennaku zonna. Okwagala kwo n’obwesigwa bwo bimukuumenga.

He shall abide before God forever. O prepare loving kindness and truth that they may preserve him.

8 Ndyoke nnyimbenga nga ntendereza erinnya lyo ennaku zonna, nga ntuukiriza obweyamo bwange buli lunaku.

So I will sing praise to thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.
