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 land, and it is faint without water.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, nĩwe Mũrungu wakwa, Wee-rĩ, nĩwe nongoragia na kĩyo; ngoro yakwa nĩwe ĩnyootagĩra, na mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩwe wĩriragĩria, ndĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ mũũmũ na wa mĩnoga, o ũyũ ũtarĩ maaĩ.
2 As I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, seeing thy strength and thy glory;
Nĩnguonete ũrĩ handũ-harĩa-haamũre, na ngeyonera hinya waku na riiri waku.
3 Because thy kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee:
Tondũ wendo waku nĩ mwega gũkĩra muoyo guo mwene-rĩ, mĩromo yakwa nĩĩrĩkũgoocaga.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live; in thy name will I lift up my hands.
Ndĩrĩkũgoocaga hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra muoyo, ngoocage rĩĩtwa rĩaku nyambararĩtie moko makwa.
5 As with fat and marrow will my soul be satisfied; and with tuneful lips shall my mouth praise thee.
Ngoro yakwa ĩiganĩire ta ĩrĩĩte irio iria njega mũno; nako kanua gakwa nĩkarĩkũgoocaga, mĩromo yakwa ĩgakũinĩra.
6 When I remember thee upon my couch, I meditate on thee in the night-watches.
Ngũririkanaga ndĩ ũrĩrĩ; ndĩciiragia ũhoro waku ũtukũ wothe.
7 Because thou hast been a help unto me; and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing rejoicingly.
Tondũ Wee nĩwe ũteithio wakwa-rĩ, nyinagĩra kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa mathagu maku.
8 My soul cleaveth unto following thee: me thy right hand upholdeth.
Ngoro yakwa nĩĩnyiitĩrĩire harĩwe; guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo gũkaanyiitĩrĩra.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go down into the lowest deeps of the earth.
Andũ arĩa macaragia muoyo wakwa nĩguo maũniine nĩmakanangwo; magaatoonyerera na thĩ nginya kũrĩa kũriku mũno.
10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword: they shall become a prey for jackals.
Makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora matuĩke irio cia mbwe.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God: every one that sweareth by him shall glorify himself; for the mouth of those that speak falsehood shall be stopped.
No rĩrĩ, mũthamaki nĩagakena nĩ ũndũ wa Ngai; andũ arĩa othe mehĩtaga makĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai nĩmakamũgooca, natuo tũnua twa arĩa maaragia maheeni nĩtũgaakirio.
