42 (A)Ng’empeewo bw’ewejjawejja olw’amazzi,
    n’emmeeme yange bw’etyo bwe wejjawejja ku lulwo, Ayi Katonda.
(B)Emmeeme yange eyaayaanira Katonda, Katonda omulamu.
    Ndigenda ddi ne nsisinkana Katonda?
(C)Nkaabirira Mukama
    emisana n’ekiro.
Amaziga gange gabadde emmere yange emisana n’ekiro,
    abantu ne baŋŋamba nti, “Katonda wo ali ludda wa?”
(D)Bino mbijjukira nga nfuka emmeeme yange
    nga bwe nagendanga n’ekibiina ekinene,
ne nkulembera ennyiriri z’abantu empanvu,
    nga tugenda mu nnyumba ya Katonda,
nga tuyimba mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka
    n’okwebaza mu kibiina ekijaguza.

(E)Lwaki oweddemu amaanyi ggwe emmeeme yange?
    Lwaki otabusetabuse mu nda yange?
Essuubi lyo liteeke mu Katonda,
    kubanga natenderezanga omulokozi wange era Katonda wange;
    ye mubeezi wange.

Ayi Katonda wange, emmeeme yange yennyise,
    yeeraliikiridde;
naye nkujjukira olw’ebyo bye wakola mu nsi ya Yoludaani
    ne ku nsozi engulumivu eza Kalumooni[a] ne ku Lusozi Mizali.
(F)Obuziba bukoowoola obuziba,
    olw’okuwuluguma kw’ebiyiriro
amayengo n’amasingisira go
    bimpiseeko.

(G)Mukama alaga okwagala kwe emisana n’ekiro
    ne muyimbira oluyimba lwe;
    y’essaala eri Katonda w’obulamu bwange.

(H)Ŋŋamba Katonda, olwazi lwange nti,
    “Lwaki onneerabidde?
Lwaki ŋŋenda nkungubaga
    olw’okujoogebwa abalabe bange?”
10 Mbonyaabonyezebwa ng’abalabe bange
    bancocca,
nga bwe bagamba buli kiseera nti,
    “Katonda wo ali ludda wa?”

11 (I)Lwaki wennyise Ayi ggwe emmeeme yange?
    Lwaki otabusetabuse mu nda yange?
Weesigenga Katonda,
    kubanga nnaamutenderezanga,
    Omulokozi wange era ye Katonda wange.

BOOK II

Psalms 42–72

Psalm 42[a][b]

For the director of music. A maskil[c] of the Sons of Korah.

As the deer(A) pants for streams of water,(B)
    so my soul pants(C) for you, my God.
My soul thirsts(D) for God, for the living God.(E)
    When can I go(F) and meet with God?
My tears(G) have been my food
    day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
    “Where is your God?”(H)
These things I remember
    as I pour out my soul:(I)
how I used to go to the house of God(J)
    under the protection of the Mighty One[d]
with shouts of joy(K) and praise(L)
    among the festive throng.(M)

Why, my soul, are you downcast?(N)
    Why so disturbed(O) within me?
Put your hope in God,(P)
    for I will yet praise(Q) him,
    my Savior(R) and my God.(S)

My soul is downcast within me;
    therefore I will remember(T) you
from the land of the Jordan,(U)
    the heights of Hermon(V)—from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep(W)
    in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
    have swept over me.(X)

By day the Lord directs his love,(Y)
    at night(Z) his song(AA) is with me—
    a prayer to the God of my life.(AB)

I say to God my Rock,(AC)
    “Why have you forgotten(AD) me?
Why must I go about mourning,(AE)
    oppressed(AF) by the enemy?”(AG)
10 My bones suffer mortal agony(AH)
    as my foes taunt(AI) me,
saying to me all day long,
    “Where is your God?”(AJ)

11 Why, my soul, are you downcast?
    Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
    for I will yet praise him,
    my Savior and my God.(AK)
