< Psalms 63 >

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.
Mazmur Daud, ketika ia berada di padang gurun Yehuda. Ya Allah, Engkaulah Allahku, kucari dan kurindukan Engkau. Seperti tanah tandus haus akan air, begitulah aku haus akan Dikau.
2 So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.
Biarlah aku memandang Engkau di Rumah-Mu, dan melihat kekuatan dan keagungan-Mu.
3 Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.
Kasih-Mu lebih berharga dari hidup, sebab itu aku memuji Engkau.
4 So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.
Seumur hidupku aku bersyukur kepada-Mu; kuangkat tanganku kepada-Mu sambil berdoa.
5 My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
Kupuji Engkau dengan bersorak gembira, sebab Engkau memuaskan jiwaku seperti dengan makanan lezat.
6 When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.
Waktu berbaring di tempat tidur, kuingat pada-Mu; sepanjang malam aku merenungkan Engkau,
7 For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
sebab Engkaulah yang telah menolong aku; dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku menyanyi gembira.
8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
Kupegang Engkau erat-erat, tangan-Mu menopang aku.
9 But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.
Tetapi orang-orang yang mau membunuh aku akan turun ke dunia orang mati.
10 They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.
Mereka akan tewas dalam pertempuran, dan menjadi makanan binatang buas.
11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
Raja akan bergembira karena pertolongan Allah; orang yang bersumpah demi Allah akan bermegah-megah, tetapi mulut pendusta akan disumbat.
