Psalms 63
1 God, you are the God whom I [worship]. I greatly desire to be with you like [SIL] a person in a dry hot desert greatly desires [some cool water].
Mungu, wewe ni Mungu wangu! Ninakutafuta wewe kwa bidii, moyo wangu unakiu yako, mwili wangu unakutamani sana wewe, katika ukame na nchi iliyochoka mahali ambapo hakuna maji.
2 So, I want to see you in your temple; I want to see that you are great and glorious.
Hivyo nimekutafuta wewe katika watu watakatifu kuona nguvu zako na utukufu wako.
3 Your constantly loving [me] is (worth more/more precious) than [my] life, so I [MTY] will [always] praise you.
Kwa sababu uaminifu wa agano lako ni bora kuliko uhai, midomo yangu itakusifu wewe.
4 I will praise you all the time that I live; I will lift up my hands to you while I pray.
Hivyo nitakutukuza wewe niwapo hai; kwa jina lako nitainua mikono yangu juu.
5 [Knowing you satisfies me more than] [IDM, MET] my eating a very big feast, [so] I will praise you while I sing [MTY] joyful songs.
Itakuwa kana kwamba nilikula mlo wa mafuta na wenye kunona, kwa midomo ya furaha kinywa changu kitakusifu wewe,
6 While I lie on my bed, I think about you. I think/meditate about you all during the night,
nikufikiripo kitandani mwangu na kukutafakari wewe wakati wa saa za usiku.
7 because you have always helped me, and I sing joyfully knowing that I am protected by you [as a little bird is protected] under [its mother’s] wings [MET].
Kwa maana umekuwa msaada wangu, na katika uvuli wa mbawa zako ninafurahia.
8 I cling to you; and with your hand/power you protect me.
Ninashikamana nawe; mkono wako wa kuume unanisaidia.
9 But those who are trying to kill me will [die and] descend into the place of the dead;
Lakini wale watafutao kuuharibu uhai wangu wataenda chini kwenye sehemu ya chini kabisa ya nchi;
10 they will be killed in battles [MTY] and their [corpses] will be eaten by jackals/wild dogs.
watakabidhiwa kwa wale ambao mikono yao hutumia upanga, nao watakuwa chakula cha mbweha.
11 But I, the king [of Israel], will rejoice in what God has done; and all those who revere and trust God will praise him, but he will not allow liars to say anything.
Bali mfalme atashangilia katika Mungu; yeyote anaye apa kupitia yeye atajivunia yeye, lakini vinywa ya wale wasemao uongo watanyamazishwa.
