Zabbuli Ya Dawudi.
141 (A)Ayi Mukama nkukaabira; oyanguwe okujja gye ndi!
Owulire eddoboozi lyange, nga nkukoowoola.
2 (B)Okusaba kwange kubeere ng’ebyakaloosa mu maaso go,
n’okugolola emikono gyange gy’oli kubeere nga ssaddaaka ey’akawungeezi.
3 Onkuume, Ayi Mukama, nneme okwasamya akamwa kange,
era bwe njogera onkomeko.
4 (C)Okyuse omutima gwange guleme kugoberera kibi,
n’okwemalira mu bikolwa ebibi;
nneme okwetaba n’abantu abakola ebitali bya butuukirivu,
wadde okulya ku mmere yaabwe.
5 (D)Leka omuntu omutuukirivu ankube, kubanga anaaba ankwatiddwa ekisa;
muleke annenye, ekyo kinaaba ng’amafuta amalungi agafukiddwa ku mutwe gwange;
sijja kugagaana.
Naye nnaasabanga bulijjo nga sikkiriziganya na babi wadde n’ebikolwa byabwe.
6 Abakola ebibi bwe baliweebwayo eri ab’okubasalira omusango,
olwo ne balyoka bayiga nti ebigambo byange bya mazima.
7 (E)Balyogera nti, “Ng’omuntu bw’akabala n’akuba amavuunike,
n’amagumba gaffe bwe galisaasaanyizibwa bwe gatyo mu kamwa k’emagombe.”
Psalm 141
Revised Standard Version
Prayer for Preservation from Evil
A Psalm of David.
141 I call upon thee, O Lord; make haste to me!
Give ear to my voice, when I call to thee!
2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before thee,
and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice!
3 Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord,
keep watch over the door of my lips!
4 Incline not my heart to any evil,
to busy myself with wicked deeds
in company with men who work iniquity;
and let me not eat of their dainties!
5 Let a good man strike or rebuke me in kindness,
but let the oil of the wicked never anoint my head;[a]
for my prayer is continually[b] against their wicked deeds.
6 When they are given over to those who shall condemn them,
then they shall learn that the word of the Lord is true.
7 As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land,
so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.[c]
8 But my eyes are toward thee, O Lord God;
in thee I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
9 Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me,
and from the snares of evildoers!
10 Let the wicked together fall into their own nets,
while I escape.
