Psalms 63
1 A Melody of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee, —My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land—dry, and weary for want of water, —
Yon Sòm David, lè l te nan dezè Juda a. O Bondye, Ou se Bondye mwen. Mwen va chache Ou ak tout kè m. Nanm mwen swaf pou Ou. Chè m anvi Ou nan yon peyi epwize e sèch kote nanpwen dlo.
2 In like manner as, in the sanctuary, I have had vision of thee, To behold thy power and thy glory.
Konsa, mwen te wè Ou nan sanktiyè a, ak pouvwa Ou, ak laglwa Ou.
3 Because better is thy lovingkindness than life, My lips, aloud shall praise thee!
Akoz lanmou dous Ou pi bon pase lavi, lèv mwen va louwe Ou.
4 Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands:
Pou sa, mwen va beni Ou tout tan ke m viv. Mwen va leve men m nan non Ou.
5 As with fatness and richness, shall my soul be satisfied, And, with joyfully shouting lips, shall my mouth utter praise.
Nanm mwen satisfè konsi avèk ma zo ak grès, e bouch mwen ap ofri lwanj avèk lèv ranpli de jwa.
6 Should I call thee to mind upon my couch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.
Lè m sonje Ou sou kabann mwen, mwen medite sou Ou nan vèy de nwi la.
7 For thou hast become a help unto me, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I shout for joy.
Paske Ou te konn sekou mwen. Nan lonbraj a zèl Ou, mwen chante ak jwa.
8 My soul hath run clinging to thee, On me, hath thy right hand laid hold.
Nanm mwen kole ak Ou. Men dwat Ou fè m kenbe.
9 When, they, to crush it, would seek my life, They shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
Men (sila) ki chache lavi mwen pou detwi li yo, va desann jis nan fon latè.
10 Every one shall be given up into the power of the sword, The portion of jackals, shall they become.
Yo va livre a pouvwa nepe. Yo va tounen manje pou rena mawon.
11 But, the king, shall rejoice in God, —Every one shall glory who sweareth by him, For the mouth of them who speak falsehood, shall be stopped.
Men Wa a va rejwi nan Bondye. Tout moun ki sèmante pa Li menm yo, va twouve glwa. Paske bouch a (sila) ki bay manti yo, va fèmen.
