Zabbuli ya Dawudi.

27 (A)Mukama gwe musana gwange n’obulokozi bwange;
    ani gwe nnaatyanga?
Mukama ge maanyi ag’obulamu bwange;
    ani asobola okuntiisa?

(B)Abalabe bange n’abantu ababi bonna
    bwe banannumba nga baagala okunzita,
baneesittala
    ne bagwa.
(C)Newaakubadde ng’eggye linaasiisira okunneebungulula,
    omutima gwange teguutyenga;
olutalo ne bwe lunansitukirangako,
    nnaabanga mugumu.

(D)Ekintu kimu kye nsaba Mukama,
    era ekyo kye nnoonya:
okubeeranga mu nnyumba ya Mukama
    ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwange,
ne ndabanga obulungi bwa Mukama,
    era ne nsinzizanga mu Yeekaalu ye.
(E)Kubanga mu biseera eby’obuzibu
    anansuzanga mu nju ye;
anankwekanga mu weema ye,
    n’ankuumira ku lwazi olugulumivu.

(F)Olwo ononnyimusanga
    waggulu w’abalabe bange abanneetoolodde.
Nnaaweerangayo ssaddaaka mu weema ye nga bwe ntendereza n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka olw’essanyu;
    nnaayimbiranga Mukama ennyimba ez’okumutenderezanga.

(G)Wulira eddoboozi lyange, Ayi Mukama, nga nkukoowoola;
    onkwatirwe ekisa onnyanukule!
Omutima gwange guwulidde eddoboozi lyo nga lyogera nti, “Munnoonye, munsinze.”
    Omutima gwange ne guddamu nti, “Nnaakunoonyanga, Ayi Mukama.”
(H)Tonneekweka,
    so tonyiigira muweereza wo,
    kubanga ggw’obadde omubeezi wange bulijjo.
Tonneggyaako, so tonsuula,
    Ayi Katonda, Omulokozi wange.
10 Kitange ne mmange bwe balindeka,
    Mukama anandabiriranga.
11 (I)Njigiriza, Ayi Mukama, by’oyagala nkole,
    era onkulembere mu kkubo lyo,
    kubanga abalabe bange banneetoolodde.
12 (J)Tompaayo mu balabe bange,
    kubanga abajulizi ab’obulimba bansitukiddeko n’enkwe zaabwe,
    okunkambuwalira.

13 (K)Nkyakakasiza ddala
    nga ndiraba obulungi bwa Mukama
    mu nsi ey’abalamu.
14 (L)Lindirira Mukama.
    Ddamu amaanyi, ogume omwoyo.
    Weewaawo, lindirira Mukama.

Psalm 27

Of David.

The Lord is my light(A) and my salvation(B)
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold(C) of my life—
    of whom shall I be afraid?(D)

When the wicked advance against me
    to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
    who will stumble and fall.(E)
Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;(F)
though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.(G)

One thing(H) I ask from the Lord,
    this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,(I)
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble(J)
    he will keep me safe(K) in his dwelling;
he will hide me(L) in the shelter of his sacred tent
    and set me high upon a rock.(M)

Then my head will be exalted(N)
    above the enemies who surround me;(O)
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice(P) with shouts of joy;(Q)
    I will sing(R) and make music(S) to the Lord.

Hear my voice(T) when I call, Lord;
    be merciful to me and answer me.(U)
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!(V)
    Your face, Lord, I will seek.
Do not hide your face(W) from me,
    do not turn your servant away in anger;(X)
    you have been my helper.(Y)
Do not reject me or forsake(Z) me,
    God my Savior.(AA)
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
    the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way,(AB) Lord;
    lead me in a straight path(AC)
    because of my oppressors.(AD)
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
    for false witnesses(AE) rise up against me,
    spouting malicious accusations.

13 I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord(AF)
    in the land of the living.(AG)
14 Wait(AH) for the Lord;
    be strong(AI) and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.
