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.

psalmus David cum esset in deserto Iudaeae Deus Deus meus ad te de luce vigilo sitivit in te anima mea quam multipliciter tibi caro mea

2 So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

in terra deserta et invia et inaquosa sic in sancto apparui tibi ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam

3 Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas labia mea laudabunt te

4 So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

sic benedicam te in vita mea in nomine tuo levabo manus meas

5 My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

sicut adipe et pinguidine repleatur anima mea et labia exultationis laudabit os meum

6 When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

si memor fui tui super stratum meum in matutinis meditabar in te

7 For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

quia fuisti adiutor meus et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo

8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

adhesit anima mea post te me suscepit dextera tua

9 But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

ipsi vero in vanum quaesierunt animam meam introibunt in inferiora terrae

10 They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.

tradentur in manus gladii partes vulpium erunt

11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.

rex vero laetabitur in Deo laudabitur omnis qui iurat in eo quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua
