Psalms 63
1 O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
Ihubo likaDavida eseNkangala yakoJuda. Oh Nkulunkulu, unguNkulunkulu wami, ngiyakudinga ngitshiseka; umphefumulo wami uyakomela, umzimba wami uyakudinga, elizweni elomileyo eseligugile lapho okungelamanzi khona.
2 To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.
Ngikubonile endlini Yakho engcwele ngawabona amandla Akho lenkazimulo Yakho.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
Ngoba uthando Lwakho lungcono kulempilo, izindebe zami zizakutsho inkazimulo Yakho.
4 Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your name.
Ngizakudumisa kokuphela nxa ngisaphila, ngebizo lakho ngizaphakamisa izandla zami.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:
Umphefumulo wami uzasuthiswa ngokudla okuhle okuphilisayo; ngezindebe ezihlabelayo umlomo wami uzakudumisa.
6 When I remember you on my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.
Ngisembhedeni wami ngiyakhumbula; ngiyakukhumbula lanxa ngisemlindweni wasebusuku.
7 Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
Ngoba ulusizo lwami, ngiyahlabelela ngisemthunzini wamaphiko Akho.
8 My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.
Umphefumulo wami unamathele Kuwe; isandla sakho sokunene siyangisekela.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Labo abazingela impilo yami bazabhujiswa; bazakwehlela phansi ekujuleni komhlabathi.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
Bazakwabelwa ukudliwa yinkemba babe yikudla kwamakhanka.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
Kodwa inkosi izathokoza kuNkulunkulu; bonke abafunga ngebizo likaNkulunkulu bazamdumisa, ikanti imilomo yabaqamba amanga izathuliswa.
