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 weary land, where no water is.
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 have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, to see thy power and thy glory.
Natalaki Yo kati na Esika ya bule mpo na komona makasi mpe nkembo na Yo.
3 For thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise thee.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali malamu koleka bomoi, bibebu na ngai ekosanzola Yo.
4 So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy 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 marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee 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 thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the night watches.
Soki nakanisi Yo na mbeto na ngai, nasambelaka Yo na butu;
7 For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
pamba te ozali lisungi mpo na ngai, mpe nagangaka na esengo wana nazali na se ya elili ya mapapu na Yo.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
Nakangami na Yo; loboko na Yo ya mobali esimbi ngai makasi.
9 But those that 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 a portion for foxes.
Bakoboma bango na mopanga mpe bakokoma bilei ya bambwa ya zamba.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God: every one that sweareth by him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
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.
