Psalms 63
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh [longed] after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
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 Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.
Biarlah aku memandang Engkau di Rumah-Mu, dan melihat kekuatan dan keagungan-Mu.
3 For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.
Kasih-Mu lebih berharga dari hidup, sebab itu aku memuji Engkau.
4 Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.
Seumur hidupku aku bersyukur kepada-Mu; kuangkat tanganku kepada-Mu sambil berdoa.
5 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise your name.
Kupuji Engkau dengan bersorak gembira, sebab Engkau memuaskan jiwaku seperti dengan makanan lezat.
6 Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.
Waktu berbaring di tempat tidur, kuingat pada-Mu; sepanjang malam aku merenungkan Engkau,
7 For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.
sebab Engkaulah yang telah menolong aku; dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku menyanyi gembira.
8 My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.
Kupegang Engkau erat-erat, tangan-Mu menopang aku.
9 But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
Tetapi orang-orang yang mau membunuh aku akan turun ke dunia orang mati.
10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
Mereka akan tewas dalam pertempuran, dan menjadi makanan binatang buas.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
Raja akan bergembira karena pertolongan Allah; orang yang bersumpah demi Allah akan bermegah-megah, tetapi mulut pendusta akan disumbat.
