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.

Zaburi mar Daudi kane en e thim mar Juda. Yaye Nyasaye, in e Nyasacha, adwari gi tekra duto; chunya riyo oloyo mar neni kendo denda duto dwari, e piny motwo kendo maliet, maonge pi modho.

2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

Aseneni ei kari maler kendo asengʼeyo tekoni gi duongʼni.

3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

Nikech herani ber moloyo ngima, dhoga biro miyi duongʼ.

4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

Abiro paki kapod angima, kendo abiro tingʼo bedena malo e nyingi.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

Chunya biro romo mana ka ngʼama oromo gi chiemo mabeyo mogik; abiro yawo dwonda ka apaki gi wer.

6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

Ka an e kitandana to apari; pacha osiko pari seche duto mag otieno.

7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

Nikech in e konyruokna, awer ka an e bwo tipo mar bwombeni.

8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

Chunya omoko kuomi; lweti ma korachwich orita.

9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Joma dwaro kawo ngimana ibiro tieki; gibiro dhi piny nyaka ei bur kama tut.

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

Ibiro chiwgi ne ligangla kendo gibiro doko chiemb ondiegi.

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.

To ruoth to biro bedo moil kuom Nyasaye; ji duto masingore e nying Nyasaye biro pake, to dho jo-miriambo ibiro um mi lingʼ.
