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 Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.

2 Aseneni ei kari maler kendo asengʼeyo tekoni gi duongʼni.

So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.

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

For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.

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

So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.

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

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;

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

When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.

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

For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.

8 Chunya omoko kuomi; lweti ma korachwich orita.

My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.

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

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.

10 Ibiro chiwgi ne ligangla kendo gibiro doko chiemb ondiegi.

They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion 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 sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
