Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.

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。

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

我在聖殿裏瞻仰過您，為看到您的威能和您的光輝；

3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee.

您的慈愛比生命更為寶貴，我的唇舌要時常稱頌您。

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

我要一生一世讚美您，我要因您的名把手舉起！

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

我的心靈好像飽享了膏脂，我要以歡愉的口唇讚美您。

6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [And] meditate on thee in the night-watches.

我在床上想起了您，徹夜不眠地默想著您。

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

因為您作了我的助佑，我要在您的羽翼下歡舞。

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

我的心靈緊緊追隨您，您的右手常常扶持著我。

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

那些謀圖陷害我命的人，必將墜落在地下的深層；

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

他們必為刀劍所殺死，也必然為野犬所分食。

11 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.

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。
