Zabbuli 61

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

Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,

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

To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

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

For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

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

In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

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

For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

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

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

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

He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

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

So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
