< Psalms 63 >

1 A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.
Nkunga Davidi mu thangu kaba mu dikanga di Yuda. A Nzambi! Ngeyo widi Nzambiꞌama, mu kiedika ngeyo ndintomba; muelꞌama wulembo moni phuila yi ngeyo; nitu ama tsatu yidi mu kumona mu tsi yi yuma; yibiva; yikondolo nlangu;
2 So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.
Ndimmona mu buangu kinlongo ndimona lulendo luaku ayi nkembo aku.
3 Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.
Bila luzolo luaku luviatukidi luzingu; bididi biama biela kukembisa.
4 So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.
Ndiela kuzitisa thangu yoso ndidi moyo. Mu diambu di dizina diaku, ndiela vumuna mioko miama ku yilu.
5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise.
Muelꞌama wela yukuta banga kimvuama kiwombo ki bidia mu minkunga bididi bi munu ama biela kuzitisa.
6 If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches — I meditate on Thee.
Va mbukꞌama ndikutebukilanga moyo ndieti kuyindula builu bu mvimba.
7 For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.
Bila ngeyo lusadusu luama, ayi ndilembo yimbila ku tsi kitsusula ki mavavi maku.
8 Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.
Muelꞌama widi wukangama mu ngeyo; ayi koko kuaku kulubakala kueti kukhindisa.
9 And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.
Bobo beti tomba luzingu luama bela bungana; bela kota kuna tsi ntoto.
10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.
Bela kuba yekula mu lulendo lu sabala; bela kituka bidia bi zimbua zi nsitu.
11 And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!
Vayi Ntinu wela mona khini mu Nzambi; baboso bobo banleva ndefi mu dizina di Nzambi bela kunzitisa. Bila miunu mi bankua luvunu miela kangama.
