Psalm 70
For the director of music. A prayer of David.
1God, hurry and save me.
Lord, come quickly and help me.
2Let those who are trying to kill me be put to shame.
Let them not be honored.
Let all those who want to destroy me
be turned back in shame.
3Some people make fun of me.
Let them be turned back when their plans fail.
4But let all those who seek you
be joyful and glad because of what you have done.
Let those who want you to save them always say,
“The Lord is great!”
5But I am poor and needy.
God, come quickly to me.
You are the God who helps me and saves me.
Lord, please don’t wait any longer.
Zabbuli 70
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi, ey’okujjukiza.
170:1 Zab 40:13Ayi Katonda oyanguwa okundokole.
Ayi Mukama oyanguwe okumbeera.
270:2 a Zab 35:4 b Zab 35:26Abo abannoonya okunzita
batabulwetabulwe;
abo abannoonya okunzikiriza,
bagobebwe nga baswadde.
3Abagamba nti, “Kasonso,”
badduke nga bajjudde ensonyi.
4Naye bonna abakunoonya
basanyukenga bajagulizenga mu ggwe.
Abo abaagala obulokozi bwo boogerenga bulijjo nti,
“Katonda agulumizibwenga!”
570:5 a Zab 40:17 b Zab 141:1Naye nze ndi mwavu era ndi mu kwetaaga;
oyanguwe okujja gye ndi, Ayi Katonda.
Ggwe onnyamba era ggwe ondokola,
Ayi Mukama, tolwa!
