Zaburi 63
1 Zaburi mar Daudi kane en e thim mar Juda. Yaye Nyasaye, in e Nyasacha, adwari gi tekra duto; chunya riyo oloyo mar neni kendo denda duto dwari, e piny motwo kendo maliet, maonge pi modho.
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh [longed] after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
2 Aseneni ei kari maler kendo asengʼeyo tekoni gi duongʼni.
Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.
3 Nikech herani ber moloyo ngima, dhoga biro miyi duongʼ.
For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
4 Abiro paki kapod angima, kendo abiro tingʼo bedena malo e nyingi.
Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 Chunya biro romo mana ka ngʼama oromo gi chiemo mabeyo mogik; abiro yawo dwonda ka apaki gi wer.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise thy name.
6 Ka an e kitandana to apari; pacha osiko pari seche duto mag otieno.
Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on thee.
7 Nikech in e konyruokna, awer ka an e bwo tipo mar bwombeni.
For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 Chunya omoko kuomi; lweti ma korachwich orita.
My soul has kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.
9 Joma dwaro kawo ngimana ibiro tieki; gibiro dhi piny nyaka ei bur kama tut.
But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
10 Ibiro chiwgi ne ligangla kendo gibiro doko chiemb ondiegi.
They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
11 To ruoth to biro bedo moil kuom Nyasaye; ji duto masingore e nying Nyasaye biro pake, to dho jo-miriambo ibiro um mi lingʼ.
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
