Zabbuli 70

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

To the Overseer, by David. — 'To cause to remember.' O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.

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

Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

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

Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, 'Aha, aha.'

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

Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, 'God is magnified.'

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

And I [am] poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
