< Psalms 63 >
1 A psalm of David when was he in [the] wilderness of Judah. O God - [are] God my you I am seeking earnestly you it is thirsty for you - self my it longs for you flesh my in a land dry and weary not water.
Nkulunkulu, unguNkulunkulu wami, ngizakudinga ngovivi; umphefumulo wami womela wena; inyama yami iyakulangatha, elizweni elomileyo leligagadekileyo, elingelamanzi.
2 Thus in the sanctuary I have seen you to see strength your and glory your.
Njengoba ngikubonile endaweni engcwele, ngibone amandla akho lobukhosi bakho.
3 For [is] good covenant loyalty your more than life lips my they will extol you.
Ngoba uthandolomusa wakho lungcono kulempilo; indebe zami zizakudumisa.
4 Thus I will bless you in life my in name your I will lift up hands my.
Ngokunjalo ngizakubonga ngisaphila, ngiphakamise izandla zami ebizweni lakho.
5 Like fat and fatness it will be satisfied self my and lips of cries of joy it will praise [you] mouth my.
Umphefumulo wami uzasutha kungathi ngomnkantsho lamahwahwa, lomlomo wami uzadumisa ngezindebe ezithabisayo.
6 If I have remembered you on beds my in [the] night-watches I meditate on you.
Lapho ngikukhumbula embhedeni wami, emilindweni yebusuku ngizindla ngawe.
7 For you are a help of me and in [the] shadow of wings your I shout for joy.
Ngoba ubulusizo lwami, ngakho emthunzini wempiko zakho ngizahlabela ngithokoze.
8 It clings self my after you me it supports right [hand] your.
Umphefumulo wami unamathele ekukulandeleni, isandla sakho sokunene siyangisekela.
9 And they to destruction they are seeking life my they will go in [the] lower parts of the earth.
Kodwa abadinga umphefumulo wami ukuwuchitha bazakuya ezindaweni zomhlaba eziphansi.
10 People will pour him over [the] hands of [the] sword [the] portion of foxes they will be.
Bazanikelwa emandleni enkemba, babe yisabelo samakhanka.
11 And the king he will rejoice in God he will boast every [one who] swears an oath by him for it will be shut up [the] mouth of [those who] speak falsehood.
Kodwa inkosi izathokoza kuNkulunkulu; wonke ofunga ngaye uzazincoma; kodwa umlomo wabaqamba amanga uzavalwa.
