Psalms 63
1 [A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Ayembaki yango tango azalaki kati na esobe ya Yuda. Oh Nzambe, ozali Nzambe na ngai; nazali koluka Yo, molimo na ngai ezali na posa na Yo, bomoi na ngai ezali na posa na Yo makasi, kati na mabele ekawuka mpe ezanga mayi.
2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
Natalaki Yo kati na Esika ya bule mpo na komona makasi mpe nkembo na Yo.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali malamu koleka bomoi, bibebu na ngai ekosanzola Yo.
4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
Boye, nakopambola Yo bomoi na ngai mobimba, nakotombola maboko na ngai mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
Nakotonda lokola moto oyo asili kolia misuni kitoko mpe mafuta; bibebu na ngai ekoganga na esengo mpe monoko na ngai ekokumisa Yo.
6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
Soki nakanisi Yo na mbeto na ngai, nasambelaka Yo na butu;
7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
pamba te ozali lisungi mpo na ngai, mpe nagangaka na esengo wana nazali na se ya elili ya mapapu na Yo.
8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
Nakangami na Yo; loboko na Yo ya mobali esimbi ngai makasi.
9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Bato oyo balukaka koboma ngai bakozinda na mabele
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
Bakoboma bango na mopanga mpe bakokoma bilei ya bambwa ya zamba.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
Kasi mokonzi akosepela kati na Nzambe; moto nyonso oyo alapaka ndayi na Kombo ya Nzambe akomikumisa mpo na yango, pamba te minoko ya bakosi ekokangama.
