Ya mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ya ndere. Zabbuli ya Dawudi.

Otege okutu eri ebigambo byange, Ayi Mukama;
    olowooze ku kunyolwa kwange.
(A)Wuliriza eddoboozi ly’omulanga gwange,
    Ayi Kabaka wange era Katonda wange:
    kubanga ggwe gwe nsaba.

(B)Ayi Mukama, buli nkya owulira eddoboozi lyange;
    buli nkya ndeeta gy’oli okusaba kwange,
    ne nnindirira onziremu.
(C)Kubanga ggwe Ayi Katonda, tosanyukira bibi:
    n’ebitasaana tobigumiikiriza.
(D)Ab’amalala era abakola ebibi tobeetaaga mu maaso go:
    kubanga okyawa abakola ebibi bonna.
(E)Abalimba bonna obazikiriza;
    Mukama akyawa abatemu
    era n’abalimba.
(F)Naye olw’ekisa kyo ekingi,
    nze nnaayingiranga mu nnyumba yo:
ne nkusinziza mu Yeekaalu yo Entukuvu
    n’okutya okungi.

(G)Onkulembere, Ayi Mukama, mu butuukirivu bwo,
    olw’abalabe bange,
    ondage ekkubo eggolokofu ery’okutambulirangamu.
(H)Abalabe bange bye boogera tebyesigibwa;
    emitima gyabwe gijjudde bussi bwereere.
Emimiro gyabwe ntaana eyasaamiridde:
    akamwa kaabwe koogera bya bulimba.
10 (I)Basalire omusango gubasinge, Ayi Katonda;
    baleke bagwe mu mitego gyabwe.
Bagobe
    kubanga baakujeemera.
11 (J)Naye leka abo bonna abakwesiga basanyukenga;
    ennaku zonna bayimbenga n’essanyu,
obakuumenga,
    abo abaagala erinnya lyo basanyukirenga mu ggwe.

12 (K)Kubanga, Ayi Mukama, omutuukirivu omuwa omukisa;
    era omukuuma, n’omwetoolooza okwagala ng’engabo.

Psalm 5[a]

For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.

Listen(A) to my words, Lord,
    consider my lament.(B)
Hear my cry for help,(C)
    my King and my God,(D)
    for to you I pray.

In the morning,(E) Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly.(F)
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
    with you, evil people(G) are not welcome.
The arrogant(H) cannot stand(I)
    in your presence.
You hate(J) all who do wrong;
    you destroy those who tell lies.(K)
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
    you, Lord, detest.
But I, by your great love,
    can come into your house;
in reverence(L) I bow down(M)
    toward your holy temple.(N)

Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness(O)
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight(P) before me.
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;(Q)
    with their tongues they tell lies.(R)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,(S)
    for they have rebelled(T) against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
    let them ever sing for joy.(U)
Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name(V) may rejoice in you.(W)

12 Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;(X)
    you surround them(Y) with your favor as with a shield.(Z)
