Zabbuli 61

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

To the choirmaster - on a stringed instrument of David. Hear! O God cry of entreaty my pay attention to! prayer my.

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 - to you I call when grows faint heart my on a rock [which] it is high more than me you will lead me.

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

For you have been a refuge of me a tower of strength from before [the] enemy.

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

Let me sojourn in tent your forever let me take refuge in [the] shelter of wings your (Selah)

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

For you O God you have listened to vows my you have given [the] possession of [those] fearing name your.

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

Days to [the] days of [the] king you will add years his [be] like a generation and a generation.

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

May he sit forever before God covenant loyalty and faithfulness appoint they will preserve him.

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

Thus I will sing praises to name your for ever to pay I vows my day - day.
