Psalms 63
1 O God, thou are my God. I will earnestly seek thee. My soul thirsts for thee, my flesh longs for thee, in a dry and weary land, where is no water.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Wakati alipokuwa katika Jangwa la Yuda. Ee Mungu, wewe ni Mungu wangu, nakutafuta kwa moyo wote; nafsi yangu inakuonea kiu, mwili wangu unakuonea wewe shauku, katika nchi kame na iliyochoka mahali ambapo hapana maji.
2 So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary to see thy power and thy glory.
Nimekuona katika mahali patakatifu na kuuona uwezo wako na utukufu wako.
3 Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
Kwa sababu upendo wako ni bora kuliko uhai, midomo yangu itakuadhimisha.
4 So I will bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name.
Nitakusifu siku zote za maisha yangu, na kwa jina lako nitainua mikono yangu.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips
Nafsi yangu itatoshelezwa kama kwa wingi wa vyakula; kwa midomo iimbayo kinywa changu kitakusifu wewe.
6 when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night-watches.
Kitandani mwangu ninakukumbuka wewe, ninawaza juu yako makesha yote ya usiku.
7 For thou have been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice.
Kwa sababu wewe ndiwe msaada wangu, chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako naimba.
8 My soul follows close after thee. Thy right hand upholds me.
Nafsi yangu inaambatana nawe, mkono wako wa kuume hunishika.
9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Wale wanaotafuta uhai wangu wataharibiwa, watakwenda chini kwenye vilindi vya dunia.
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.
Watatolewa wafe kwa upanga, nao watakuwa chakula cha mbweha.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him shall glory, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
Bali mfalme atafurahi katika Mungu, wale wote waapao kwa jina la Mungu watamsifu, bali vinywa vya waongo vitanyamazishwa.
