111 Mutendereze Mukama!

Nneebazanga Mukama n’omutima gwange gwonna,
    mu lukiiko lw’abalongoofu, era ne mu lukuŋŋaana.

(A)Mukama by’akola bikulu;
    bifumiitirizibwako abo bonna ababisanyukira.
Emirimu gye mikulu nnyo era gya kitiibwa,
    n’obutuukirivu bwe tebuggwaawo emirembe gyonna.
(B)Ayamba abantu okujjukira ebyamagero bye,
    Mukama wa kisa era ajjudde okusaasira.
(C)Agabira abamutya emmere;
    era ajjukira endagaano ye buli kiseera.

Abantu be abalaze ng’ebikolwa bye bwe biri eby’amaanyi;
    n’abagabira ensi eyali ey’abannaggwanga.
(D)By’akola byonna bya bwesigwa era bya bwenkanya;
    n’amateeka ge gonna ga bwesigwa,
(E)manywevu emirembe gyonna;
    era yagassaawo nga ga bwesigwa era nga ga mazima.
(F)Yanunula abantu be;
    n’alagira endagaano ye ebeerewo emirembe gyonna.
    Erinnya lye ttukuvu era lya ntiisa!

10 (G)Mu kutya Mukama amagezi mwe gasookera
    era abo abagondera ebigambo ebyo bajjudde obutegeevu.
    Mukama atenderezebwenga emirembe gyonna.

Psalm 111[a]

Praise the Lord.[b]

I will extol the Lord(A) with all my heart(B)
    in the council(C) of the upright and in the assembly.(D)

Great are the works(E) of the Lord;
    they are pondered by all(F) who delight in them.
Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
    and his righteousness endures(G) forever.
He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
    the Lord is gracious and compassionate.(H)
He provides food(I) for those who fear him;(J)
    he remembers his covenant(K) forever.

He has shown his people the power of his works,(L)
    giving them the lands of other nations.(M)
The works of his hands(N) are faithful and just;
    all his precepts are trustworthy.(O)
They are established for ever(P) and ever,
    enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
He provided redemption(Q) for his people;
    he ordained his covenant forever—
    holy and awesome(R) is his name.

10 The fear of the Lord(S) is the beginning of wisdom;(T)
    all who follow his precepts have good understanding.(U)
    To him belongs eternal praise.(V)
