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:
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 thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;
Nimekuona katika mahali patakatifu na kuuona uwezo wako na utukufu wako.
3 For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
Kwa sababu upendo wako ni bora kuliko uhai, midomo yangu itakuadhimisha.
4 So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.
Nitakusifu siku zote za maisha yangu, na kwa jina lako nitainua mikono yangu.
5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips.
Nafsi yangu itatoshelezwa kama kwa wingi wa vyakula; kwa midomo iimbayo kinywa changu kitakusifu wewe.
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:
Kitandani mwangu ninakukumbuka wewe, ninawaza juu yako makesha yote ya usiku.
7 For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.
Kwa sababu wewe ndiwe msaada wangu, chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako naimba.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
Nafsi yangu inaambatana nawe, mkono wako wa kuume hunishika.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth;
Wale wanaotafuta uhai wangu wataharibiwa, watakwenda chini kwenye vilindi vya dunia.
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes.
Watatolewa wafe kwa upanga, nao watakuwa chakula cha mbweha.
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.
Bali mfalme atafurahi katika Mungu, wale wote waapao kwa jina la Mungu watamsifu, bali vinywa vya waongo vitanyamazishwa.
