Psalms 63
1 A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:
Zabbuli ya Dawudi, bwe yali mu ddungu lya Yuda. Ayi Katonda, oli Katonda wange, nkunoonya n’omutima gwange gwonna; emmeeme yange ekwetaaga, omubiri gwange gwonna gukuyaayaanira, nga nnina ennyonta ng’ali mu nsi enkalu omutali mazzi.
2 To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;
Nkulabye ng’oli mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu, ne ndaba amaanyi go n’ekitiibwa kyo.
3 For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
Kubanga okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo kusinga obulamu; akamwa kange kanaakutenderezanga.
4 So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.
Bwe ntyo nnaakutenderezanga obulamu bwange bwonna; nnaayimusanga emikono gyange mu linnya lyo.
5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips.
Emmeeme yange enekkutanga ebyassava n’obugagga; nnaayimbanga nga nkutendereza n’emimwa egy’essanyu.
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:
Nkujjukira nga ndi ku kitanda kyange, era nkufumiitirizaako mu ssaawa ez’ekiro.
7 For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.
Olw’okuba ng’oli mubeezi wange, nnyimba nga ndi mu kisiikirize ky’ebiwaawaatiro byo.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
Emmeeme yange yeekwata ku ggwe; omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gumpanirira.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth;
Naye abo abannoonya okunzita balizikirizibwa, baliserengeta emagombe.
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes.
Balisaanawo n’ekitala; ne bafuuka emmere y’ebibe.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
Naye ye kabaka anaajagulizanga mu Katonda; bonna abalayira mu linnya lya Katonda banaatenderezanga Katonda, naye akamwa k’abalimba kalisirisibwa.
