Psalms 63
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.
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 So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.
Nimekuona katika mahali patakatifu na kuuona uwezo wako na utukufu wako.
3 For Thy lovingkindness 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 as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.
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 doth 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 couch, and 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 do I rejoice.
Kwa sababu wewe ndiwe msaada wangu, chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako naimba.
8 My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.
Nafsi yangu inaambatana nawe, mkono wako wa kuume hunishika.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.
Wale wanaotafuta uhai wangu wataharibiwa, watakwenda chini kwenye vilindi vya dunia.
10 They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for 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.
