Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi, ey’okujjukiza.

70 (A)Ayi Katonda oyanguwa okundokole.
    Ayi Mukama oyanguwe okumbeera.

(B)Abo abannoonya okunzita
    batabulwetabulwe;
abo abannoonya okunzikiriza,
    bagobebwe nga baswadde.
Abagamba nti, “Kasonso,”
    badduke nga bajjudde ensonyi.
Naye bonna abakunoonya
    basanyukenga bajagulizenga mu ggwe.
Abo abaagala obulokozi bwo boogerenga bulijjo nti,
    “Katonda agulumizibwenga!”

(C)Naye nze ndi mwavu era ndi mu kwetaaga;
    oyanguwe okujja gye ndi, Ayi Katonda.
Ggwe onnyamba era ggwe ondokola,
    Ayi Mukama, tolwa!

Psalm 70[a](A)

For the director of music. Of David. A petition.

Hasten, O God, to save me;
    come quickly, Lord, to help me.(B)

May those who want to take my life(C)
    be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
    be turned back in disgrace.(D)
May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”(E)
    turn back because of their shame.
But may all who seek you(F)
    rejoice and be glad(G) in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
    “The Lord is great!”(H)

But as for me, I am poor and needy;(I)
    come quickly to me,(J) O God.
You are my help(K) and my deliverer;(L)
    Lord, do not delay.(M)
