Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

David ƒe ha. Ekpae esi wòle Yuda gbegbe. O! Mawu, wòe nye nye Mawu, mele diwòm vevie; tsikɔ le nye luʋɔ wum ɖe ŋuwò, nye ameti blibo la mele diwòm, le kuɖiɖinyigba si ƒu kplakplakpla, eye tsi aɖeke meli o la dzi.

2 So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

Mekpɔ wò le kɔkɔeƒe la, eye mekpɔ wò ŋusẽ kple wò ŋutikɔkɔe.

3 Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

Esi wò lɔlɔ̃ nyo wu agbe ta la, nye nuyiwo ado wò ɖe dzi.

4 So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

Makafu wò, zi ale si mele agbe, eye mado nye asiwo ɖe dzi le wò ŋkɔ me.

5 My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

Nye luʋɔ aɖi ƒo abe nuɖuɖu nyuitɔ kekeakee wòɖu ene; hadzidzi anɔ nu nam, eye nye nu adzi kafukafuhawo na wò.

6 When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

Le nye aba dzi, meɖoa ŋku dziwò, mebua ŋutiwò le nye ŋunɔɣi le zã me.

7 For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

Esi nènye nye xɔnametɔ ta la, madzi ha le wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te.

8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

Nye luʋɔ ku ɖe ŋuwò goŋgoŋgoŋ, eye wò ɖusibɔ lém ɖe te.

9 But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

Woatsrɔ̃ ame siwo le nye agbe yome tim, woayi ɖe keke anyigba la ƒe tume ke.

10 They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.

Woatsɔ wo ade asi na yi, eye woazu nuɖuɖu na amegaxiwo.

11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.

Ke fia la akpɔ dzidzɔ le Mawu me; ame siwo katã kaa atam le Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ me la akafui, ke woamia nu na alakpatɔwo.
