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 wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:

2 我在聖殿裏瞻仰過您，為看到您的威能和您的光輝；

To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;

3 您的慈愛比生命更為寶貴，我的唇舌要時常稱頌您。

For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

4 我要一生一世讚美您，我要因您的名把手舉起！

So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy 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 is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips.

6 我在床上想起了您，徹夜不眠地默想著您。

When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:

7 因為您作了我的助佑，我要在您的羽翼下歡舞。

For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.

8 我的心靈緊緊追隨您，您的右手常常扶持著我。

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

9 那些謀圖陷害我命的人，必將墜落在地下的深層；

But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into 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 shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of 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 shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
