Psalms 143
1 A psalm of David. Listen, O Lord, to my prayer; attend to my plea. In your faithfulness give me answer, and in your righteousness.
Zabbuli Ya Dawudi. Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama, wulira okwegayirira kwange! Ggwe omwesigwa era omutuukirivu jjangu ombeere.
2 With your servant O enter you not into judgment, for in your sight can no one alive be justified.
Tonsalira musango, kubanga mu maaso go tewali n’omu atuukiridde.
3 For the enemy persecutes me, crushing my life to the ground, making me live in the darkness, as those who have long been dead.
Omulabe wange angoba n’ankwata n’ansuula wansi; anteeka mu kizikiza ne nfaanana ng’abaafa edda.
4 My spirit is faint within me, my heart is bewildered within me.
Noolwekyo omwoyo gwange guweddemu endasi, n’omutima gwange gwennyise.
5 I remember the days of old, and brood over all you have done, musing on all that your hands have wrought.
Nzijukira ennaku ez’edda, ne nfumiitiriza ku ebyo bye wakola byonna, ne ndowooza ku mirimu gy’emikono gyo.
6 I spread out my hands to you: I thirst for you, like parched earth. (Selah)
Ngolola emikono gyange gy’oli, ne nkuyaayaanira ng’ettaka ekkalu bwe liyaayaanira enkuba.
7 Answer me soon, Lord, because my spirit is spent. Hide not your face from me, else become I like those who go down to the pit.
Yanguwa okunziramu, Ayi Mukama, kubanga omwoyo gwange guggwaamu amaanyi. Tonkisa maaso go, nneme okufaanana ng’abafu.
8 Let me learn of your love in the morning, for my trust is in you. Teach me the way I should go: for my heart longs for you.
Obudde nga bukedde, nsaba ondage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo; kubanga ggwe gwe neesiga. Njigiriza ekkubo lye nsaana okutambuliramu, kubanga omwoyo gwange gwonna guli gy’oli.
9 Save me, O Lord, from my foes: for to you I have fled for refuge.
Mponya, Ayi Mukama, abalabe bange, kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
10 Teach me to do your will, for you yourself are my God. Guide me by your good spirit, O Lord, on a way that is smooth.
Njigiriza okukola by’oyagala, kubanga ggwe Katonda wange! Omwoyo wo omulungi ankulembere, antambulize mu kkubo eddungi ery’omuseetwe.
11 Be true to your name Lord, spare me, bring me out of distress in your faithfulness.
Olw’erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, onkuume, mu butuukirivu bwo onzigye mu kabi.
12 In your kindness extinguish my enemies, and all those who vex me destroy; for I am your servant.
Omalewo abalabe bange olw’okwagala kwo, ozikirize n’abanjigganya bonna, kubanga nze ndi muddu wo.
