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 Judean desert. God, you are my God, I eagerly look for you. I am thirsty for you; all that I am longs for you in this dry, weary, waterless land.

2 Aseneni ei kari maler kendo asengʼeyo tekoni gi duongʼni.

I see you in the Temple; I watch your power and glory.

3 Nikech herani ber moloyo ngima, dhoga biro miyi duongʼ.

Your trustworthy love is better than life itself; I will praise you.

4 Abiro paki kapod angima, kendo abiro tingʼo bedena malo e nyingi.

I will thank you as long as I live; I lift up my hands as I celebrate your wonderful character.

5 Chunya biro romo mana ka ngʼama oromo gi chiemo mabeyo mogik; abiro yawo dwonda ka apaki gi wer.

You satisfy me more than the richest food; I will praise you with joyful songs.

6 Ka an e kitandana to apari; pacha osiko pari seche duto mag otieno.

I think of you all night long as I lie on my bed meditating about you.

7 Nikech in e konyruokna, awer ka an e bwo tipo mar bwombeni.

For you are the one who helps me; I sing happily from under your wings.

8 Chunya omoko kuomi; lweti ma korachwich orita.

I hold on to you; your strong arms lift me up.

9 Joma dwaro kawo ngimana ibiro tieki; gibiro dhi piny nyaka ei bur kama tut.

Those who are trying to destroy me will go down into the grave.

10 Ibiro chiwgi ne ligangla kendo gibiro doko chiemb ondiegi.

They will be killed by the sword; they will become food for jackals.

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 will be happy for what God has done. All who follow God will praise him, but those who tell lies will be silenced.
