Psalms 63
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee 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 thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
Nimekuona katika mahali patakatifu na kuuona uwezo wako na utukufu wako.
3 Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
Kwa sababu upendo wako ni bora kuliko uhai, midomo yangu itakuadhimisha.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy 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 [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 bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night] watches.
Kitandani mwangu ninakukumbuka wewe, ninawaza juu yako makesha yote ya usiku.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
Kwa sababu wewe ndiwe msaada wangu, chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako naimba.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth 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 sweareth 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.
