Psalms 63
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea. O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways.
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 By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue and your glory.
Nimekuona katika mahali patakatifu na kuuona uwezo wako na utukufu wako.
3 For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.
Kwa sababu upendo wako ni bora kuliko uhai, midomo yangu itakuadhimisha.
4 So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.
Nitakusifu siku zote za maisha yangu, na kwa jina lako nitainua mikono yangu.
5 Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.
Nafsi yangu itatoshelezwa kama kwa wingi wa vyakula; kwa midomo iimbayo kinywa changu kitakusifu wewe.
6 When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.
Kitandani mwangu ninakukumbuka wewe, ninawaza juu yako makesha yote ya usiku.
7 For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.
Kwa sababu wewe ndiwe msaada wangu, chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako naimba.
8 My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.
Nafsi yangu inaambatana nawe, mkono wako wa kuume hunishika.
9 Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.
Wale wanaotafuta uhai wangu wataharibiwa, watakwenda chini kwenye vilindi vya dunia.
10 They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.
Watatolewa wafe kwa upanga, nao watakuwa chakula cha mbweha.
11 Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.
Bali mfalme atafurahi katika Mungu, wale wote waapao kwa jina la Mungu watamsifu, bali vinywa vya waongo vitanyamazishwa.
