Zabbuli 54

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi, Abazifu bwe bajja ne babuulira Sawulo nti, “Dawudi yeekwese mu ffe.” Olw’erinnya lyo ondokole, Ayi Katonda, n’amaanyi go amangi onzigyeko omusango.

Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your strength.

2 Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Katonda, owulirize ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange.

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 Abantu be simanyi bannumba; abantu abalina ettima abatatya Katonda; bannoonya okunzita.

For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Laba, Katonda ye mubeezi wange, Mukama ye mukuumi wange.

Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

5 Leka ebintu ebibi byonna bye bantegekera, bibeekyusize, obazikirize olw’obwesigwa bwo.

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in your truth.

6 Nnaakuleeteranga ssaddaaka ey’ekyeyagalire; ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ddungi.

I will freely sacrifice unto you: I will praise your name, O LORD; for it is good.

7 Kubanga Katonda amponyezza ebizibu byange byonna; era amaaso gange galabye ng’awangula abalabe bange.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye has seen his desire upon mine enemies.
