< 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;
Se yon sòm David te ekri lè li te nan dezè peyi Jida a. Bondye, se ou ki Bondye mwen. Jan m' anvi wè ou! Jan m' ap tann ou sa a! Se tout kò m' k'ap mande pou ou, tankou tè sèk nan solèy k'ap tann lapli.
2 To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.
Fè m' antre kote ki apa pou ou nan kay ou a pou m' wè ou, pou m' wè jan ou gen pouvwa, jan ou merite pou yo fè lwanj ou.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
renmen ou gen pou nou an pi bon pase lavi. Se poutèt sa m'ap fè lwanj ou.
4 Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your name.
Konsa m'a pase tout lavi m' ap di ou mèsi; se ou menm sèlman m'a lapriyè.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:
M'ap fè fèt, m'ap kontan tankou yon moun ki manje plen vant li yon manje ki gen bon gou, ki gen kont grès li ladan l'. Wi, se konsa kè m' ap kontan. M'ap louvri bouch mwen pou m' fè lwanj ou.
6 When I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.
Lè m' kouche sou kabann mwen, lide m' ap travay sou ou. Tout lannwit se ou m'ap kalkile.
7 Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
Paske se ou ki tout sekou m', m'ap rete kache anba zèl ou, m'ap chante sitèlman mwen kontan.
8 My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.
Mwen kole kò m' sou ou, se pouvwa ou k'ap soutni mwen.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Men, moun k'ap chache touye m' yo, yo gen pou yo desann kote mò yo ye a.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
Yo gen pou yo mouri nan lagè, chen mawon gen pou manje kadav yo.
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.
Men, Bondye ap fè kè wa a kontan. Tout moun ki mete non l' devan va gen kè kontan tou. Men, y'ap fèmen bouch moun k'ap bay manti yo.
