Psalms 63

1 O God, thou are my God. I will earnestly seek thee. My soul thirsts for thee, my flesh longs for thee, in a dry and weary land, where is no water.

大卫在犹大旷野的时候，作了这诗。 神啊，你是我的 神， 我要切切地寻求你， 在干旱疲乏无水之地，我渴想你； 我的心切慕你。

2 So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary to see thy power and thy glory.

我在圣所中曾如此瞻仰你， 为要见你的能力和你的荣耀。

3 Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

因你的慈爱比生命更好， 我的嘴唇要颂赞你。

4 So I will bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name.

我还活的时候要这样称颂你； 我要奉你的名举手。

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips

我在床上记念你， 在夜更的时候思想你； 我的心就像饱足了骨髓肥油， 我也要以欢乐的嘴唇赞美你。

6 when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night-watches.

7 For thou have been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice.

因为你曾帮助我， 我就在你翅膀的荫下欢呼。

8 My soul follows close after thee. Thy right hand upholds me.

我心紧紧地跟随你； 你的右手扶持我。

9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

但那些寻索要灭我命的人 必往地底下去；

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.

他们必被刀剑所杀， 被野狗所吃。

11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him shall glory, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

但是王必因 神欢喜。 凡指着他发誓的必要夸口， 因为说谎之人的口必被塞住。
