Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi.

139 (A)Ayi Mukama, okebedde omutima gwange,
    n’otegeera byonna ebiri munda yange.
(B)Bwe ntuula omanya, ne bwe ngolokoka omanya;
    era otegeera byonna bye ndowooza, ne bwe mbeera ewala ennyo.
(C)Otegeera okutambula kwange kwonna n’okuwummula kwange.
    Omanyi amakubo gange gonna.
(D)Ekigambo kye nnaayogera, Ayi Mukama,
    okimanya nga sinnaba na kukyogera.
(E)Ondi mu maaso n’emabega,
    era ontaddeko omukono gwo.
(F)Okumanya okw’engeri eyo kunsukkiridde,
    era nkwewuunya nnyo, kunnema okutegeera.

(G)Nnaagenda wa Omwoyo wo gy’atali?
    Oba nnaagenda wa ggwe gy’otoli?
(H)Bwe nnaalinya mu ggulu, nga gy’oli;
    bwe nnakka emagombe, nayo nga gy’oli.
Bwe nneebagala empewo ez’oku makya ne zintwala
    ne mbeera mu bitundu by’ennyanja ebisinga okuba ewala;
10 (I)era n’eyo omukono gwo gunannuŋŋamya,
    omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gunannywezanga.
11 Bwe nnaagamba nti, “Ekizikiza kimbuutikire,
    n’obudde obw’emisana bwe ndimu bufuuke ekiro.”
12 (J)Naye era ekizikiza gy’oli tekiba kizikiza,
    ekiro kyakaayakana ng’emisana;
    kubanga gy’oli ekizikiza n’omusana bifaanana.

13 (K)Ggwe watonda byonna ebiri munda mu nze;
    ggwe wammumbira mu lubuto lwa mmange.
14 (L)Nkutendereza, kubanga wankola mu ngeri ey’entiisa era ey’ekitalo;
    emirimu gyo gya kyewuunyo;
    era ekyo nkimanyidde ddala bulungi.
15 (M)Wammanya nga ntondebwa,
    bwe nakolerwa mu kyama;
bwe natondebwa mu buziba bw’ensi n’amagezi go amangi.
16     Wandaba nga si natondebwa.
Ennaku zange zonna ze wanteekerateekera
    zawandiikibwa mu kitabo kyo.
17 (N)By’ondowooleza nga bya muwendo munene, Ayi Katonda!
    Omuwendo gwabyo munene!
18 Singa ngezaako okubibala
    bisinga omusenyu obungi.
Ne bwe ngolokoka mu makya
    oba okyandowoozaako.

19 (O)Abakola ebibi batte, Ayi Katonda;
    abasajja abassi b’abantu banveeko.
20 (P)Abantu abo bakwogerako bibi;
    bakwegulumiririzaako mu butategeera bwabwe.
21 (Q)Abakukyawa, Ayi Mukama, nange mbakyawa;
    abo abakwegulumiririzaako bansunguwaza.
22 Mbakyayira ddala nnyo,
    era mbayita balabe bange.
23 (R)Nkebera, Ayi Katonda, otegeere omutima gwange.
    Ngezesa omanye ebirowoozo byange.
24 (S)Olabe obanga mu nze mulimu engeri yonna enkyamu;
    era onkulembere mu kkubo erintuusa mu bulamu obutaggwaawo.

Psalm 139

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

You have searched me,(A) Lord,
    and you know(B) me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;(C)
    you perceive my thoughts(D) from afar.
You discern my going out(E) and my lying down;
    you are familiar with all my ways.(F)
Before a word is on my tongue
    you, Lord, know it completely.(G)
You hem me in(H) behind and before,
    and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,(I)
    too lofty(J) for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee(K) from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens,(L) you are there;
    if I make my bed(M) in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,(N)
    your right hand(O) will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark(P) to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being;(Q)
    you knit me together(R) in my mother’s womb.(S)
14 I praise you(T) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,(U)
    I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made(V) in the secret place,
    when I was woven together(W) in the depths of the earth.(X)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained(Y) for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a](Z) God!(AA)
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,(AB)
    they would outnumber the grains of sand(AC)
    when I awake,(AD) I am still with you.

19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!(AE)
    Away from me,(AF) you who are bloodthirsty!(AG)
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
    your adversaries(AH) misuse your name.(AI)
21 Do I not hate those(AJ) who hate you, Lord,
    and abhor(AK) those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
    I count them my enemies.(AL)
23 Search me,(AM) God, and know my heart;(AN)
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way(AO) in me,
    and lead me(AP) in the way everlasting.
