< 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.
Abụ Ọma Devid, mgbe ọ nọ nʼọzara Juda. O Chineke, ị bụ Chineke m, e ji m obi m niile na-achọ gị; akpịrị na-akpọ mkpụrụobi m nkụ, anụ ahụ m na-achọsi gị ike, nʼala kpọrọ nkụ na nke ịda mba ebe mmiri na-adịghị nʼime ya.
2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
Ahụla m gị nʼụlọnsọ gị, hụkwa ike gị na ebube gị.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
Nʼihi na ịhụnanya gị dị mma karịa ndụ, aga m eji egbugbere ọnụ m jaa gị mma.
4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
Ogologo ụbọchị m niile ka m ga-eto gị, aga m eweli aka m abụọ elu kpọkuo aha gị.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
Mkpụrụobi m ga-enwe afọ ojuju dịka onye ji ezi nri rijuo afọ; aga m eji egbugbere ọnụ jupụtara nʼabụ too gị.
6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
Nʼelu ihe ndina m, ana m echeta gị, ana m atụgharị uche nʼihe banyere gị, ogologo abalị niile.
7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
Nʼihi na ị bụ onye inyeaka m, ana m abụ abụ nʼokpuru ndo nke nku gị.
8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
Mkpụrụobi m na-arapara gị nʼahụ; aka nri gị na-ejigide m.
9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
A ga-ala ndị na-achọ ndụ m nʼiyi; ha ga-arịda ruo ebe omimi nke ụwa.
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
A ga-eji mma agha laa ha nʼiyi, ha ga-abụkwa nri nye nkịta ọhịa.
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.
Ma eze ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime Chineke; ndị niile na-eji aha Chineke aṅụ iyi ga-eto ya, ma a ga-eme ka ọnụ ndị niile na-agha ụgha dere duu.
