1 Zabbuli. Oluyimba lwa Ssabbiiti. Kirungi okwebazanga Mukama, n’okuyimba ennyimba n’okutenderezanga erinnya lyo, Ayi Ggwe, Ali Waggulu Ennyo;
Yahweh, it is good for people to thank you and to sing to praise you [MTY] who are greater than any other god.
2 okutendanga okwagala kwo okutakoma buli nkya, n’okutendanga obwesigwa bwo buli kiro.
It is good to proclaim every morning that you faithfully love us, and each night [to sing songs that] declare that you always do what you have promised to do,
3 Okukutenderezanga n’amaloboozi g’enkoba z’ennanga n’endere awamu n’entongooli.
accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
4 Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, onkoledde ebinsanyusizza; kyenva nkuyimbira n’essanyu olw’emirimu gy’emikono gyo.
Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
5 Emirimu gyo nga mikulu, Ayi Mukama; ebirowoozo byo nga tebitegeerekeka!
Yahweh, the things that you do are great! But it is difficult for us to understand [all] that you think.
6 Omuntu atalina magezi tamanyi; n’omusirusiru kino tasobola kukitegeera;
There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.
7 newaakubadde ng’abakola ebibi baloka ng’omuddo, n’aboonoonyi bonna ne bafuna ebirungi, boolekedde okuzikirira okw’emirembe n’emirembe!
They do not understand that although the number of wicked [people] increases [like blades of] grass do [SIM], and they prosper, they will be completely destroyed.

Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
10 Naye nze wanfuula wa maanyi okwenkana embogo, n’onfukako amafuta amalungi.
But you have caused me to be as strong [MTY] as [SIM] a wild ox; you have caused me to be very joyful [MTY].
11 Amaaso gaalaba bbugwe ng’agwa ku balabe bange; n’amatu gange gawulidde akabi akatuuse ku abo abanjigganya.
I [SYN] have seen you defeat my enemies; d I have heard those evil men wail/scream while they were being slaughtered.
12 Abatuukirivu balyegolola ng’enkindu, ne bakula ne bawanvuwa ng’emivule gy’e Lebanooni.
But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow in Lebanon.
13 Egisimbibwa mu nnyumba ya Mukama. Baligimukira mu mpya za Katonda waffe.
[They are like the trees] that grow near the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem], those trees that are close to the courtyard of the temple of our God.
14 Ne mu bukadde bwabwe balibala ebibala; baliba balamu era abagimu,
[Even] when righteous people become old, they do many things [IDM] [that please God]. They remain strong and full of energy, [like trees that] [MET] remain full of sap.
15 kiryoke kitegeeze nti, Mukama w’amazima, lwe Lwazi lwange era mu ye temuli butali butuukirivu.
That shows that Yahweh is just; he is [like a huge] rock [under which I am safe/protected], and he never does anything that is wicked/wrong.
