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。

`The salm of Dauid, `whanne he was in the desert of Judee. God, my God, Y wake to thee ful eerli. Mi soule thirstide to thee; my fleisch thirstide to thee ful many foold.

2 我在聖殿裏瞻仰過您，為看到您的威能和您的光輝；

In a lond forsakun with out wei, and with out water, so Y apperide to thee in hooli; that Y schulde se thi vertu, and thi glorie.

3 您的慈愛比生命更為寶貴，我的唇舌要時常稱頌您。

For thi merci is betere than lyues; my lippis schulen herie thee.

4 我要一生一世讚美您，我要因您的名把手舉起！

So Y schal blesse thee in my lijf; and in thi name Y schal reise myn hondis.

5 我的心靈好像飽享了膏脂，我要以歡愉的口唇讚美您。

Mi soule be fillid as with inner fatnesse and vttermere fatnesse; and my mouth schal herie with lippis of ful out ioiyng.

6 我在床上想起了您，徹夜不眠地默想著您。

So Y hadde mynde on thee on my bed, in morewtidis Y shal thenke of thee;

7 因為您作了我的助佑，我要在您的羽翼下歡舞。

for thou were myn helpere. And in the keueryng of thi wyngis Y schal make `ful out ioye, my soule cleuede after thee;

8 我的心靈緊緊追隨您，您的右手常常扶持著我。

thi riythond took me vp.

9 那些謀圖陷害我命的人，必將墜落在地下的深層；

Forsothe thei souyten in veyn my lijf, thei schulen entre in to the lower thingis of erthe;

10 他們必為刀劍所殺死，也必然為野犬所分食。

thei schulen be bitakun in to the hondis of swerd, thei schulen be maad the partis of foxis.

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 schal be glad in God; and alle men schulen be preysid that sweren in hym, for the mouth of hem, that speken wickid thingis, is stoppid.
