< Zaburi 63 >

1 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.
melody to/for David in/on/with to be he in/on/with wilderness Judah God God my you(m. s.) to seek you to thirst to/for you soul my to pine to/for you flesh my in/on/with land: country/planet dryness and faint without water
2 Hivyo nimekutafuta wewe katika watu watakatifu kuona nguvu zako na utukufu wako.
so in/on/with holiness to see you to/for to see: see strength your and glory your
3 Kwa sababu uaminifu wa agano lako ni bora kuliko uhai, midomo yangu itakusifu wewe.
for pleasant kindness your from life lips my to praise you
4 Hivyo nitakutukuza wewe niwapo hai; kwa jina lako nitainua mikono yangu juu.
so to bless you in/on/with life my in/on/with name your to lift: vow palm my
5 Itakuwa kana kwamba nilikula mlo wa mafuta na wenye kunona, kwa midomo ya furaha kinywa changu kitakusifu wewe,
like fat and ashes to satisfy soul my and lips triumphing to boast: praise lip my
6 nikufikiripo kitandani mwangu na kukutafakari wewe wakati wa saa za usiku.
if to remember you upon bed my in/on/with watch to mutter in/on/with you
7 Kwa maana umekuwa msaada wangu, na katika uvuli wa mbawa zako ninafurahia.
for to be help to/for me and in/on/with shadow wing your to sing
8 Ninashikamana nawe; mkono wako wa kuume unanisaidia.
to cleave soul my after you in/on/with me to grasp right your
9 Lakini wale watafutao kuuharibu uhai wangu wataenda chini kwenye sehemu ya chini kabisa ya nchi;
and they(masc.) to/for devastation to seek soul: life my to come (in): come in/on/with lower [the] land: country/planet
10 watakabidhiwa kwa wale ambao mikono yao hutumia upanga, nao watakuwa chakula cha mbweha.
to pour him upon hand: power sword portion fox to be
11 Bali mfalme atashangilia katika Mungu; yeyote anaye apa kupitia yeye atajivunia yeye, lakini vinywa ya wale wasemao uongo watanyamazishwa.
and [the] king to rejoice in/on/with God to boast: boast all [the] to swear in/on/with him for to stop lip to speak: speak deception
