< 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.
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 Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
Nimekuona katika mahali patakatifu na kuuona uwezo wako na utukufu wako.
3 For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
Kwa sababu upendo wako ni bora kuliko uhai, midomo yangu itakuadhimisha.
4 Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
Nitakusifu siku zote za maisha yangu, na kwa jina lako nitainua mikono yangu.
5 My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
Nafsi yangu itatoshelezwa kama kwa wingi wa vyakula; kwa midomo iimbayo kinywa changu kitakusifu wewe.
6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
Kitandani mwangu ninakukumbuka wewe, ninawaza juu yako makesha yote ya usiku.
7 Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
Kwa sababu wewe ndiwe msaada wangu, chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako naimba.
8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
Nafsi yangu inaambatana nawe, mkono wako wa kuume hunishika.
9 Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
Wale wanaotafuta uhai wangu wataharibiwa, watakwenda chini kwenye vilindi vya dunia.
10 They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
Watatolewa wafe kwa upanga, nao watakuwa chakula cha mbweha.
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.
Bali mfalme atafurahi katika Mungu, wale wote waapao kwa jina la Mungu watamsifu, bali vinywa vya waongo vitanyamazishwa.
