Psalms 63
1 A Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.
Nkulunkulu, unguNkulunkulu wami, ngizakudinga ngovivi; umphefumulo wami womela wena; inyama yami iyakulangatha, elizweni elomileyo leligagadekileyo, elingelamanzi.
2 Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
Njengoba ngikubonile endaweni engcwele, ngibone amandla akho lobukhosi bakho.
3 For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
Ngoba uthandolomusa wakho lungcono kulempilo; indebe zami zizakudumisa.
4 Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
Ngokunjalo ngizakubonga ngisaphila, ngiphakamise izandla zami ebizweni lakho.
5 My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
Umphefumulo wami uzasutha kungathi ngomnkantsho lamahwahwa, lomlomo wami uzadumisa ngezindebe ezithabisayo.
6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
Lapho ngikukhumbula embhedeni wami, emilindweni yebusuku ngizindla ngawe.
7 Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
Ngoba ubulusizo lwami, ngakho emthunzini wempiko zakho ngizahlabela ngithokoze.
8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
Umphefumulo wami unamathele ekukulandeleni, isandla sakho sokunene siyangisekela.
9 Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
Kodwa abadinga umphefumulo wami ukuwuchitha bazakuya ezindaweni zomhlaba eziphansi.
10 They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
Bazanikelwa emandleni enkemba, babe yisabelo samakhanka.
11 But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.
Kodwa inkosi izathokoza kuNkulunkulu; wonke ofunga ngaye uzazincoma; kodwa umlomo wabaqamba amanga uzavalwa.
