Zabbuli 69:1-36

Zabbuli 69

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Mu ddoboozi ery’Amalanga. Zabbuli ya Dawudi.

1Ondokole, Ayi Katonda,

kubanga amazzi gandi mu bulago.

2Ntubira mu bitosi

nga sirina we nnywereza kigere.

Ntuuse ebuziba

n’amataba gansaanikira.

3Ndajanye ne nkoowa,

n’emimiro ginkaze.

Amaaso ganzizeeko ekifu gakooye

olw’okutunula enkaliriza nga nnindirira Katonda wange.

4Abo abankyayira obwereere

bangi okusinga enviiri ez’oku mutwe gwange;

abalabe bange bangi

abannoonya okunzita awatali nsonga;

ne mpalirizibwa mbaddizeewo

ekyo kye sibbanga.

5Ayi Katonda, omanyi obusirusiru bwange,

n’okusobya kwange tekukukwekeddwa.

6Sisaana kuswaza

abo abakwesiga,

Ayi Mukama, Mukama ow’Eggye.

Abo abakunoonya

baleme kuswazibwa ku lwange,

Ayi Katonda wa Isirayiri.

7Ngumiikirizza okuvumwa ku lulwo,

n’amaaso gange ne gajjula ensonyi.

8Nfuuse nga omugwira eri baganda bange,

munnaggwanga eri abaana ba mmange.

9Nzijudde obuggya olw’ennyumba yo,

n’abo abakuvuma bavuma nze.

10Bwe nkaaba ne nsiiba,

ekyo nakyo ne kinvumisa.

11Bwe nnyambala ebibukutu ne nfuuka eky’okuzanyisa kyabwe.

12Abo abatuula ku mulyango gw’ekibuga banduulira,

era nfuuse luyimba lw’abatamiivu.

13Naye nze, Ayi Mukama, nsaba ggwe,

mu kiseera eky’ekisa kyo.

Olw’okwagala kwo okungi, onnyanukule, Ayi Katonda,

ondokole nga bwe wasuubiza.

14Onnyinyulule mu ttosi

nneme okutubira;

omponye abankyawa,

onzigye mu mazzi amangi;

15amataba galeme okumbuutikira

n’obuziba okunsanyaawo,

n’ennyanja ereme okummira.

16Onnyanukule, Ayi Mukama olw’obulungi bw’okwagala kwo;

onkyukire olw’okusaasira kwo okungi.

17Tokisa muddu wo maaso go; yanguwa okunziramu,

kubanga ndi mu kabi.

18Onsemberere onziruukirire,

onnunule mu balabe bange.

19Omanyi bwe nsekererwa, ne bwe nswazibwa ne bwe siteekebwamu kitiibwa,

era n’abalabe bange bonna obamanyi.

20Okusekererwa kunkutudde omutima

era kummazeemu amaanyi.

Nanoonya okusaasirwa ne kumbula,

n’ow’okumpooyawooya naye nga simulaba.

21Mu kifo ky’emmere bampa mususa,

era bwe nalumwa ennyonta bampa nkaatu.

22Emmere yaabwe gye bategese okulya ebafuukire ekyambika,

n’embaga zaabwe ez’ebiweebwayo zibafuukire omutego.

23Amaaso gaabwe gazibe baleme okulaba,

n’emigongo gyabwe gyewetenga ennaku zonna.

24Bayiweeko ekiruyi kyo,

obamalewo n’obusungu obw’amaanyi go obungi.

25Ebifo byabwe bifuuke bifulukwa,

waleme kubaawo n’omu abeera mu weema zaabwe.

26Kubanga bayigganya oyo gw’ofumise,

ne boogera ku bulumi bw’oyo gw’olumizza.

27Bavunaane omusango kina gumu,

era tobaganya kugabana ku bulokozi bwo.

28Bawanduukululwe mu kitabo ky’obulamu;

baleme kulabika ku lukalala lw’abatuukirivu.

29Ndi mu bulumi era mu nnaku;

obulokozi bwo, Ayi Katonda, bunkuume.

30Nnaatenderezanga erinnya lya Katonda nga nnyimba;

nnaamugulumizanga n’okwebaza.

31Kino kinaasanyusanga Mukama okusinga okumuwa ente ennume,

oba okumuwa seddume n’amayembe gaayo, n’ebigere byayo.

32Abaavu banaakirabanga ne basanyuka;

mmwe abanoonya Katonda omutima gwammwe ne gubeera omulamu.

33Kubanga Mukama awulira abo abali mu kwetaaga,

era ababe ne bwe baba mu busibe, tabanyooma.

34Kale eggulu n’ensi bimutenderezenga

awamu n’ennyanja zonna n’ebyo ebizirimu.

35Kubanga Katonda alirokola Sayuuni,

n’ebibuga bya Yuda n’abizimba buggya,

abantu ne babibeerangamu nga byabwe.

36Abaana b’abaweereza be balikisikira;

n’abo abaagala erinnya lya Mukama omwo mmwe banaabeeranga.

New International Version

Psalms 69:1-36

Psalm 69In Hebrew texts 69:1-36 is numbered 69:2-37.

For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David.

1Save me, O God,

for the waters have come up to my neck.

2I sink in the miry depths,

where there is no foothold.

I have come into the deep waters;

the floods engulf me.

3I am worn out calling for help;

my throat is parched.

My eyes fail,

looking for my God.

4Those who hate me without reason

outnumber the hairs of my head;

many are my enemies without cause,

those who seek to destroy me.

I am forced to restore

what I did not steal.

5You, God, know my folly;

my guilt is not hidden from you.

6Lord, the Lord Almighty,

may those who hope in you

not be disgraced because of me;

God of Israel,

may those who seek you

not be put to shame because of me.

7For I endure scorn for your sake,

and shame covers my face.

8I am a foreigner to my own family,

a stranger to my own mother’s children;

9for zeal for your house consumes me,

and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.

10When I weep and fast,

I must endure scorn;

11when I put on sackcloth,

people make sport of me.

12Those who sit at the gate mock me,

and I am the song of the drunkards.

13But I pray to you, Lord,

in the time of your favor;

in your great love, O God,

answer me with your sure salvation.

14Rescue me from the mire,

do not let me sink;

deliver me from those who hate me,

from the deep waters.

15Do not let the floodwaters engulf me

or the depths swallow me up

or the pit close its mouth over me.

16Answer me, Lord, out of the goodness of your love;

in your great mercy turn to me.

17Do not hide your face from your servant;

answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.

18Come near and rescue me;

deliver me because of my foes.

19You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;

all my enemies are before you.

20Scorn has broken my heart

and has left me helpless;

I looked for sympathy, but there was none,

for comforters, but I found none.

21They put gall in my food

and gave me vinegar for my thirst.

22May the table set before them become a snare;

may it become retribution and69:22 Or snare / and their fellowship become a trap.

23May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,

and their backs be bent forever.

24Pour out your wrath on them;

let your fierce anger overtake them.

25May their place be deserted;

let there be no one to dwell in their tents.

26For they persecute those you wound

and talk about the pain of those you hurt.

27Charge them with crime upon crime;

do not let them share in your salvation.

28May they be blotted out of the book of life

and not be listed with the righteous.

29But as for me, afflicted and in pain—

may your salvation, God, protect me.

30I will praise God’s name in song

and glorify him with thanksgiving.

31This will please the Lord more than an ox,

more than a bull with its horns and hooves.

32The poor will see and be glad—

you who seek God, may your hearts live!

33The Lord hears the needy

and does not despise his captive people.

34Let heaven and earth praise him,

the seas and all that move in them,

35for God will save Zion

and rebuild the cities of Judah.

Then people will settle there and possess it;

36the children of his servants will inherit it,

and those who love his name will dwell there.
