Zabbuli 70

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi, ey’okujjukiza. Ayi Katonda oyanguwa okundokole. Ayi Mukama oyanguwe okumbeera.

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2 Abo abannoonya okunzita batabulwetabulwe; abo abannoonya okunzikiriza, bagobebwe nga baswadde.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

3 Abagamba nti, “Kasonso,” badduke nga bajjudde ensonyi.

May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

4 Naye bonna abakunoonya basanyukenga bajagulizenga mu ggwe. Abo abaagala obulokozi bwo boogerenga bulijjo nti, “Katonda agulumizibwenga!”

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

5 Naye nze ndi mwavu era ndi mu kwetaaga; oyanguwe okujja gye ndi, Ayi Katonda. Ggwe onnyamba era ggwe ondokola, Ayi Mukama, tolwa!

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
