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;
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 To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.
Nimekuona katika mahali patakatifu na kuuona uwezo wako na utukufu wako.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
Kwa sababu upendo wako ni bora kuliko uhai, midomo yangu itakuadhimisha.
4 Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your name.
Nitakusifu siku zote za maisha yangu, na kwa jina lako nitainua mikono yangu.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:
Nafsi yangu itatoshelezwa kama kwa wingi wa vyakula; kwa midomo iimbayo kinywa changu kitakusifu wewe.
6 When I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.
Kitandani mwangu ninakukumbuka wewe, ninawaza juu yako makesha yote ya usiku.
7 Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
Kwa sababu wewe ndiwe msaada wangu, chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako naimba.
8 My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.
Nafsi yangu inaambatana nawe, mkono wako wa kuume hunishika.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Wale wanaotafuta uhai wangu wataharibiwa, watakwenda chini kwenye vilindi vya dunia.
10 They shall fall by 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 swears by him shall glory: but 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.
