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.
Abụ Ọma Devid, mgbe ọ nọ nʼọzara Juda. O Chineke, ị bụ Chineke m, e ji m obi m niile na-achọ gị; akpịrị na-akpọ mkpụrụobi m nkụ, anụ ahụ m na-achọsi gị ike, nʼala kpọrọ nkụ na nke ịda mba ebe mmiri na-adịghị nʼime ya.
2 As I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, seeing thy strength and thy glory;
Ahụla m gị nʼụlọnsọ gị, hụkwa ike gị na ebube gị.
3 Because thy kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee:
Nʼihi na ịhụnanya gị dị mma karịa ndụ, aga m eji egbugbere ọnụ m jaa gị mma.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live; in thy name will I lift up my hands.
Ogologo ụbọchị m niile ka m ga-eto gị, aga m eweli aka m abụọ elu kpọkuo aha gị.
5 As with fat and marrow will my soul be satisfied; and with tuneful lips shall my mouth praise thee.
Mkpụrụobi m ga-enwe afọ ojuju dịka onye ji ezi nri rijuo afọ; aga m eji egbugbere ọnụ jupụtara nʼabụ too gị.
6 When I remember thee upon my couch, I meditate on thee in the night-watches.
Nʼelu ihe ndina m, ana m echeta gị, ana m atụgharị uche nʼihe banyere gị, ogologo abalị niile.
7 Because thou hast been a help unto me; and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing rejoicingly.
Nʼihi na ị bụ onye inyeaka m, ana m abụ abụ nʼokpuru ndo nke nku gị.
8 My soul cleaveth unto following thee: me thy right hand upholdeth.
Mkpụrụobi m na-arapara gị nʼahụ; aka nri gị na-ejigide m.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go down into the lowest deeps of the earth.
A ga-ala ndị na-achọ ndụ m nʼiyi; ha ga-arịda ruo ebe omimi nke ụwa.
10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword: they shall become a prey for jackals.
A ga-eji mma agha laa ha nʼiyi, ha ga-abụkwa nri nye nkịta ọhịa.
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.
Ma eze ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime Chineke; ndị niile na-eji aha Chineke aṅụ iyi ga-eto ya, ma a ga-eme ka ọnụ ndị niile na-agha ụgha dere duu.
