Psalms 63

1 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.

Yon Sòm David, lè l te nan dezè Juda a. O Bondye, Ou se Bondye mwen. Mwen va chache Ou ak tout kè m. Nanm mwen swaf pou Ou. Chè m anvi Ou nan yon peyi epwize e sèch kote nanpwen dlo.

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

Konsa, mwen te wè Ou nan sanktiyè a, ak pouvwa Ou, ak laglwa Ou.

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

Akoz lanmou dous Ou pi bon pase lavi, lèv mwen va louwe Ou.

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

Pou sa, mwen va beni Ou tout tan ke m viv. Mwen va leve men m nan non Ou.

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

Nanm mwen satisfè konsi avèk ma zo ak grès, e bouch mwen ap ofri lwanj avèk lèv ranpli de jwa.

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

Lè m sonje Ou sou kabann mwen, mwen medite sou Ou nan vèy de nwi la.

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

Paske Ou te konn sekou mwen. Nan lonbraj a zèl Ou, mwen chante ak jwa.

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

Nanm mwen kole ak Ou. Men dwat Ou fè m kenbe.

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

Men (sila) ki chache lavi mwen pou detwi li yo, va desann jis nan fon latè.

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

Yo va livre a pouvwa nepe. Yo va tounen manje pou rena mawon.

11 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.

Men Wa a va rejwi nan Bondye. Tout moun ki sèmante pa Li menm yo, va twouve glwa. Paske bouch a (sila) ki bay manti yo, va fèmen.
