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 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.

2 我在聖殿裏瞻仰過您，為看到您的威能和您的光輝；

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

3 您的慈愛比生命更為寶貴，我的唇舌要時常稱頌您。

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

4 我要一生一世讚美您，我要因您的名把手舉起！

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift 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 shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

6 我在床上想起了您，徹夜不眠地默想著您。

when I remember you on my bed, and think about you 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 you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow 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 stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

9 那些謀圖陷害我命的人，必將墜落在地下的深層；

But those who 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 jackal food.

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. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
