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;
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 To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.
Nimekuona katika mahali patakatifu na kuuona uwezo wako na utukufu wako.
3 Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.
Kwa sababu upendo wako ni bora kuliko uhai, midomo yangu itakuadhimisha.
4 So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.
Nitakusifu siku zote za maisha yangu, na kwa jina lako nitainua mikono yangu.
5 My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;
Nafsi yangu itatoshelezwa kama kwa wingi wa vyakula; kwa midomo iimbayo kinywa changu kitakusifu wewe.
6 When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.
Kitandani mwangu ninakukumbuka wewe, ninawaza juu yako makesha yote ya usiku.
7 Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.
Kwa sababu wewe ndiwe msaada wangu, chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako naimba.
8 My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.
Nafsi yangu inaambatana nawe, mkono wako wa kuume hunishika.
9 But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.
Wale wanaotafuta uhai wangu wataharibiwa, watakwenda chini kwenye vilindi vya dunia.
10 They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.
Watatolewa wafe kwa upanga, nao watakuwa chakula cha mbweha.
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.
Bali mfalme atafurahi katika Mungu, wale wote waapao kwa jina la Mungu watamsifu, bali vinywa vya waongo vitanyamazishwa.
