Ya mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi.

(A)Bwe nkukoowoola onnyanukule,
    Ayi Katonda wange omutuukirivu.
Bwe mba mu nnaku, onnyambe.
    Onkwatirwe ekisa owulire okusaba kwange.

(B)Mmwe abaana b’abantu, mulituusa wa okuswazanga ekitiibwa kyange?
    Mulituusa ddi okugoberera okwagala ebitaliimu, n’okunoonya eby’obulimba?
(C)Naye mutegeere nga Mukama yeerondeddemu abo abamugondera.
    Bwe nnaamukoowoolanga anampuliranga era anannyanukulanga.

(D)Ne bwe munyiiga ennyo, temusaana kwonoona; musiriikirire,
    mwekebere era mufumiitirize mu mitima gyammwe nga mugalamidde ku bitanda byammwe.
(E)Muweeyo ebiweebwayo ebisaanidde;
    era mwesigenga Mukama.

(F)Waliwo bangi abasaba nti, “Oyongere okutulaga ebirungi, Ayi Mukama,
    otumulisize omusana gw’amaaso go.”
(G)Ondeetedde essanyu lingi mu mutima gwange
    erisinga ne lye bafuna mu makungula nga batunuulira ku bibala byabwe ebingi.

(H)Nnaagalamira ne nneebaka mirembe;
    kubanga ggwe wekka, Ayi Mukama,
    ggwe ondabirira akabi ne katantuukako.

Psalm 4[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.

Answer me(A) when I call to you,
    my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;(B)
    have mercy(C) on me and hear my prayer.(D)

How long will you people turn my glory(E) into shame?(F)
    How long will you love delusions and seek false gods[b]?[c](G)
Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant(H) for himself;
    the Lord hears(I) when I call to him.

Tremble and[d] do not sin;(J)
    when you are on your beds,(K)
    search your hearts and be silent.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
    and trust in the Lord.(L)

Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
    Let the light of your face shine on us.(M)
Fill my heart(N) with joy(O)
    when their grain and new wine(P) abound.

In peace(Q) I will lie down and sleep,(R)
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.(S)
