< Psalms 63 >
1 A Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.
Ihubo likaDavida eseNkangala yakoJuda. Oh Nkulunkulu, unguNkulunkulu wami, ngiyakudinga ngitshiseka; umphefumulo wami uyakomela, umzimba wami uyakudinga, elizweni elomileyo eseligugile lapho okungelamanzi khona.
2 Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
Ngikubonile endlini Yakho engcwele ngawabona amandla Akho lenkazimulo Yakho.
3 For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
Ngoba uthando Lwakho lungcono kulempilo, izindebe zami zizakutsho inkazimulo Yakho.
4 Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
Ngizakudumisa kokuphela nxa ngisaphila, ngebizo lakho ngizaphakamisa izandla zami.
5 My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
Umphefumulo wami uzasuthiswa ngokudla okuhle okuphilisayo; ngezindebe ezihlabelayo umlomo wami uzakudumisa.
6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
Ngisembhedeni wami ngiyakhumbula; ngiyakukhumbula lanxa ngisemlindweni wasebusuku.
7 Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
Ngoba ulusizo lwami, ngiyahlabelela ngisemthunzini wamaphiko Akho.
8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
Umphefumulo wami unamathele Kuwe; isandla sakho sokunene siyangisekela.
9 Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
Labo abazingela impilo yami bazabhujiswa; bazakwehlela phansi ekujuleni komhlabathi.
10 They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
Bazakwabelwa ukudliwa yinkemba babe yikudla kwamakhanka.
11 But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.
Kodwa inkosi izathokoza kuNkulunkulu; bonke abafunga ngebizo likaNkulunkulu bazamdumisa, ikanti imilomo yabaqamba amanga izathuliswa.
