Psalm 28
A psalm of David.
1Lord, my Rock, I call out to you.
Pay attention to me.
If you remain silent, I will die.
I will be like those who go down into the grave.
2Hear my cry for your favor
when I call out to you for help.
Hear me when I lift up my hands in prayer
toward your Most Holy Room.
3Don’t drag me away with sinners.
Don’t drag me away with those who do evil.
They speak in a friendly way to their neighbors.
But their hearts are full of hate.
4Pay them back for their evil actions.
Pay them back for what their hands have done.
Give them exactly what they should get.
5They don’t care about the Lord’s mighty acts.
They don’t care about what his hands have done.
So he will tear them down.
He will never build them up again.
6Give praise to the Lord.
He has heard my cry for his favor.
7The Lord gives me strength. He is like a shield that keeps me safe.
My heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart jumps for joy.
With my song I praise him.
8The Lord gives strength to his people.
He guards and saves his anointed king.
9Save your people. Bless those who belong to you.
Be their shepherd. Take care of them forever.

Zabbuli ya Dawudi.
128:1 a Zab 83:1 b Zab 88:4Nkukoowoola ggwe, Ayi Mukama, Olwazi lwange,
tolema kumpuliriza;
kubanga bw’onoonsiriikirira
nzija kuba nga bali abakkirira mu kinnya.
228:2 a Zab 138:2; 140:6 b Zab 5:7Owulire eddoboozi ery’okwegayirira kwange,
nga mpanise emikono gyange
okwolekera ekifo kyo ekisinga byonna obutukuvu,
nga nkukaabirira okunnyamba.
328:3 Zab 12:2; 26:9; Yer 9:8Tontwalira mu boonoonyi,
abakola ebibi;
abanyumya obulungi ne bannaabwe,
so ng’emitima gyabwe gijjudde bukyayi bwerere.
428:4 a 2Ti 4:14; Kub 22:12 b Kub 18:6Basasule ng’ebikolwa byabwe bwe biri,
n’olw’ebyambyone bye bakoze.
Basasule olwa byonna emikono gyabwe gye bisobezza,
obabonereze nga bwe basaanidde.
528:5 Is 5:12Olwokubanga tebafaayo ku mirimu gya Mukama,
oba ku ebyo bye yakola n’emikono gye,
alibazikiririza ddala,
era talibaddiramu.
6Atenderezebwe Mukama,
kubanga awulidde eddoboozi ly’okwegayirira kwange.
728:7 a Zab 18:1 b Zab 13:5 c Zab 40:3; 69:30Mukama ge maanyi gange,
era ye ngabo yange, ye gwe neesiga.
Bwe ntyo ne nyambibwa.
Omutima gwange gunaajaguzanga, ne mmuyimbira ennyimba ez’okumwebazanga.
828:8 Zab 20:6Mukama y’awa abantu be amaanyi,
era kye kiddukiro eky’obulokozi bw’oyo gwe yafukako amafuta.
928:9 a Ma 9:29; Ezr 1:4 b Is 40:11 c Ma 1:31; 32:11Olokole abantu bo, obawe omukisa abalonde bo.
Obakulemberenga ng’omusumba, era obawanirirenga emirembe gyonna.
