Psalms 63
1 A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah. O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, nĩwe Mũrungu wakwa, Wee-rĩ, nĩwe nongoragia na kĩyo; ngoro yakwa nĩwe ĩnyootagĩra, na mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩwe wĩriragĩria, ndĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ mũũmũ na wa mĩnoga, o ũyũ ũtarĩ maaĩ.
2 To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.
Nĩnguonete ũrĩ handũ-harĩa-haamũre, na ngeyonera hinya waku na riiri waku.
3 Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.
Tondũ wendo waku nĩ mwega gũkĩra muoyo guo mwene-rĩ, mĩromo yakwa nĩĩrĩkũgoocaga.
4 So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.
Ndĩrĩkũgoocaga hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra muoyo, ngoocage rĩĩtwa rĩaku nyambararĩtie moko makwa.
5 My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;
Ngoro yakwa ĩiganĩire ta ĩrĩĩte irio iria njega mũno; nako kanua gakwa nĩkarĩkũgoocaga, mĩromo yakwa ĩgakũinĩra.
6 When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.
Ngũririkanaga ndĩ ũrĩrĩ; ndĩciiragia ũhoro waku ũtukũ wothe.
7 Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.
Tondũ Wee nĩwe ũteithio wakwa-rĩ, nyinagĩra kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa mathagu maku.
8 My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.
Ngoro yakwa nĩĩnyiitĩrĩire harĩwe; guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo gũkaanyiitĩrĩra.
9 But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.
Andũ arĩa macaragia muoyo wakwa nĩguo maũniine nĩmakanangwo; magaatoonyerera na thĩ nginya kũrĩa kũriku mũno.
10 They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.
Makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora matuĩke irio cia mbwe.
11 But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
No rĩrĩ, mũthamaki nĩagakena nĩ ũndũ wa Ngai; andũ arĩa othe mehĩtaga makĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai nĩmakamũgooca, natuo tũnua twa arĩa maaragia maheeni nĩtũgaakirio.
