Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ku ddoboozi, “Tozikiriza.” Zabbuli ya Dawudi bwe yadduka Sawulo, n’alaga mu mpuku.

57 (A)Onsaasire, Ayi Katonda, onsaasire,
    kubanga neesiga ggwe.
Nzija kwekweka mu kisiikirize ky’ebiwaawaatiro byo
    okutuusa okuzikirira bwe kulikoma.

(B)Nkoowoola Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo,
    Katonda atuukiriza bye yantegekera.
(C)Alisinzira mu ggulu n’andokola,
    n’amponya abo abampalana.
    Katonda anandaganga obwesigwa bwe n’okwagala kwe okutaggwaawo.

(D)Mbeera wakati mu mpologoma,
    nsula mu bisolo ebirya abaana b’abantu.
Amannyo g’abalabe bange gali ng’amafumu n’obusaale.
    Ennimi zaabwe ziri ng’ebitala ebyogi.

(E)Ayi Katonda, ogulumizibwenga okusinga eggulu;
    n’ekitiibwa kyo kibune ensi yonna.

(F)Baatega ekitimba mu kkubo lyange,
    ne ntya nnyo;
ne basimamu obunnya,
    ate bo bennyini ne babugwamu.

(G)Omutima gwange munywevu, Ayi Katonda,
    omutima gwange munywevu.
    Nnaakutenderezanga n’ennyimba.
(H)Zuukuka, ggwe omwoyo gwange!
    Zuukuka ggwe ennanga ey’enkoba, naawe entongooli,
    ndyoke nnyimbe okukeesa obudde.

Ayi Mukama, ndikwebaza mu mawanga;
    ndiyimba nga nkutendereza mu bantu.
10 (I)Kubanga okwagala kwo kungi nnyo, kutuuka ne ku ggulu;
    n’obwesigwa bwo butuuka ku bire.

11 (J)Ogulumizibwenga, Ayi Katonda, okusinga eggulu;
    n’ekitiibwa kyo kibune ensi yonna.

Psalm 57[a](A)

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When he had fled from Saul into the cave.(B)

Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
    for in you I take refuge.(C)
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings(D)
    until the disaster has passed.(E)

I cry out to God Most High,
    to God, who vindicates me.(F)
He sends from heaven and saves me,(G)
    rebuking those who hotly pursue me—[c](H)
    God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.(I)

I am in the midst of lions;(J)
    I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
    whose tongues are sharp swords.(K)

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
    let your glory be over all the earth.(L)

They spread a net for my feet(M)
    I was bowed down(N) in distress.
They dug a pit(O) in my path—
    but they have fallen into it themselves.(P)

My heart, O God, is steadfast,
    my heart is steadfast;(Q)
    I will sing and make music.
Awake, my soul!
    Awake, harp and lyre!(R)
    I will awaken the dawn.

I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
    I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
    your faithfulness reaches to the skies.(S)

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;(T)
    let your glory be over all the earth.(U)
