詩篇 63

1 達味詩歌，作於飄流在猶大曠野時。 天主，您是我的天主，我急切祈求您；我的靈魂渴慕您，我的肉身切望您，我有如一塊乾旱涸竭的無水田地。

A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah. O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;

2 我在聖殿裏瞻仰過您，為看到您的威能和您的光輝；

To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.

3 您的慈愛比生命更為寶貴，我的唇舌要時常稱頌您。

Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.

4 我要一生一世讚美您，我要因您的名把手舉起！

So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.

5 我的心靈好像飽享了膏脂，我要以歡愉的口唇讚美您。

My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;

6 我在床上想起了您，徹夜不眠地默想著您。

When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.

7 因為您作了我的助佑，我要在您的羽翼下歡舞。

Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.

8 我的心靈緊緊追隨您，您的右手常常扶持著我。

My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.

9 那些謀圖陷害我命的人，必將墜落在地下的深層；

But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.

10 他們必為刀劍所殺死，也必然為野犬所分食。

They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.

11 但是君王必要因天主而喜慶；凡以天主宣誓的人，必要自幸，因為說謊的口，必要瘖啞失聲。

But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
