Ya mukulu w’okuyimba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi.
140 (A)Omponye abakola ebibi, Ayi Mukama,
omponye abantu abakambwe;
2 (B)abateesa mu mitima gyabwe okukola ebibi;
abanoonya entalo buli kiseera.
3 (C)Ebigambo byabwe byogi ng’ennimi z’emisota;
ebiva mu kamwa kaabwe busagwa ng’obw’essalambwa.
4 (D)Onkuume abakola ebibi baleme okunkwatako, Ayi Mukama;
omponye abantu abakambwe
abateesa okunkyamya.
5 (E)Abantu ab’amalala banteze omutego;
banjuluzza ekitimba kyabwe;
ne batega emitego mu kkubo lyange.
6 (F)Nagamba Mukama nti, “Ggwe oli Katonda wange.”
Wulira okwegayirira kwange, onsaasire, Ayi Mukama!
7 (G)Ayi Mukama, Mukama wange, ggw’omponya n’amaanyi go,
ggwe engabo yange mu lutalo.
8 (H)Ayi Mukama, abakola ebibi tobawa bye beetaaga,
era tokkiriza ntekateeka zaabwe kutuukirira;
baleme kuba na malala wadde okwenyumiriza.
Psalm 140
New International Version
Psalm 140[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 Rescue me,(A) Lord, from evildoers;
protect me from the violent,(B)
2 who devise evil plans(C) in their hearts
and stir up war(D) every day.
3 They make their tongues as sharp as(E) a serpent’s;
the poison of vipers(F) is on their lips.[b]
4 Keep me safe,(G) Lord, from the hands of the wicked;(H)
protect me from the violent,
who devise ways to trip my feet.
5 The arrogant have hidden a snare(I) for me;
they have spread out the cords of their net(J)
and have set traps(K) for me along my path.
6 I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”(L)
Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy.(M)
7 Sovereign Lord,(N) my strong deliverer,
you shield my head in the day of battle.
8 Do not grant the wicked(O) their desires, Lord;
do not let their plans succeed.
