Psalms 63

1 Kot komui ai Kot, nin joran I kin piridan komui. Nen i kin inon ion komui. Pali war ai kin inon ion komui nan jap madekon o monedi, waja me jota pil mi ia.

[A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

2 I waja i kin tamanda komui nan japwilim omui tanpaj im jaraui, pwe i men kilan omui manaman o linan.

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

3 Pwe omui kalanan mau jan maur; kil en au ai kin kapina komui.

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

4 I waja i inon ion kapina komui arain ai maur, o men pokada pa i kat ni mar omui.

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

5 I me pan kaperen pan nen I o ai popol, ma i pan kak kapina komui ki au ai kaperen.

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

6 Ni ai kin wendi pon loj, i kin madamadaua duen komui, o ni ai pirida, i kin lokelokaia duen komui.

when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

7 Pwe komui jauaj pa i, o pan mot en lim omui kan i kin nijinij.

For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

8 Nen i kin tenidi on komui; lim omui pali maun kin apapwali

My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

9 A irail me majamajan ia, pwen jaik ia di, pan lokidokila pan jappa.

But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 Re pan pupedi on nan kodlaj, o kidi en wel pan kan ir ala;

They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

11 A nanmarki pan peren kida Kot. Me kin kaula on i, pan pwaida, pwe au en me likam akan pan pena pinla.

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
