Psalms 63
1 A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Edom. O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
Mungu, wewe ni Mungu wangu! Ninakutafuta wewe kwa bidii, moyo wangu unakiu yako, mwili wangu unakutamani sana wewe, katika ukame na nchi iliyochoka mahali ambapo hakuna maji.
2 In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
Hivyo nimekutafuta wewe katika watu watakatifu kuona nguvu zako na utukufu wako.
3 For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
Kwa sababu uaminifu wa agano lako ni bora kuliko uhai, midomo yangu itakusifu wewe.
4 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
Hivyo nitakutukuza wewe niwapo hai; kwa jina lako nitainua mikono yangu juu.
5 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
Itakuwa kana kwamba nilikula mlo wa mafuta na wenye kunona, kwa midomo ya furaha kinywa changu kitakusifu wewe,
6 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
nikufikiripo kitandani mwangu na kukutafakari wewe wakati wa saa za usiku.
7 Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
Kwa maana umekuwa msaada wangu, na katika uvuli wa mbawa zako ninafurahia.
8 My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
Ninashikamana nawe; mkono wako wa kuume unanisaidia.
9 But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
Lakini wale watafutao kuuharibu uhai wangu wataenda chini kwenye sehemu ya chini kabisa ya nchi;
10 They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
watakabidhiwa kwa wale ambao mikono yao hutumia upanga, nao watakuwa chakula cha mbweha.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
Bali mfalme atashangilia katika Mungu; yeyote anaye apa kupitia yeye atajivunia yeye, lakini vinywa ya wale wasemao uongo watanyamazishwa.
