< Psalms 63 >

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea. O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Ayembaki yango tango azalaki kati na esobe ya Yuda. Oh Nzambe, ozali Nzambe na ngai; nazali koluka Yo, molimo na ngai ezali na posa na Yo, bomoi na ngai ezali na posa na Yo makasi, kati na mabele ekawuka mpe ezanga mayi.
2 By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue and your glory.
Natalaki Yo kati na Esika ya bule mpo na komona makasi mpe nkembo na Yo.
3 For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali malamu koleka bomoi, bibebu na ngai ekosanzola Yo.
4 So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.
Boye, nakopambola Yo bomoi na ngai mobimba, nakotombola maboko na ngai mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
5 Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.
Nakotonda lokola moto oyo asili kolia misuni kitoko mpe mafuta; bibebu na ngai ekoganga na esengo mpe monoko na ngai ekokumisa Yo.
6 When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.
Soki nakanisi Yo na mbeto na ngai, nasambelaka Yo na butu;
7 For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.
pamba te ozali lisungi mpo na ngai, mpe nagangaka na esengo wana nazali na se ya elili ya mapapu na Yo.
8 My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.
Nakangami na Yo; loboko na Yo ya mobali esimbi ngai makasi.
9 Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.
Bato oyo balukaka koboma ngai bakozinda na mabele
10 They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.
Bakoboma bango na mopanga mpe bakokoma bilei ya bambwa ya zamba.
11 Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.
Kasi mokonzi akosepela kati na Nzambe; moto nyonso oyo alapaka ndayi na Kombo ya Nzambe akomikumisa mpo na yango, pamba te minoko ya bakosi ekokangama.
