Psalms 63
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea. O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways.
Mazmur Daud, ketika ia ada di padang gurun Yehuda. Ya Allah, Engkaulah Allahku, aku mencari Engkau, jiwaku haus kepada-Mu, tubuhku rindu kepada-Mu, seperti tanah yang kering dan tandus, tiada berair.
2 By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue and your glory.
Demikianlah aku memandang kepada-Mu di tempat kudus, sambil melihat kekuatan-Mu dan kemuliaan-Mu.
3 For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.
Sebab kasih setia-Mu lebih baik dari pada hidup; bibirku akan memegahkan Engkau.
4 So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.
Demikianlah aku mau memuji Engkau seumur hidupku dan menaikkan tanganku demi nama-Mu.
5 Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.
Seperti dengan lemak dan sumsum jiwaku dikenyangkan, dan dengan bibir yang bersorak-sorai mulutku memuji-muji.
6 When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.
Apabila aku ingat kepada-Mu di tempat tidurku, merenungkan Engkau sepanjang kawal malam, --
7 For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.
sungguh Engkau telah menjadi pertolonganku, dan dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku bersorak-sorai.
8 My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.
Jiwaku melekat kepada-Mu, tangan kanan-Mu menopang aku.
9 Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.
Tetapi orang-orang yang berikhtiar mencabut nyawaku, akan masuk ke bagian-bagian bumi yang paling bawah.
10 They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.
Mereka akan diserahkan kepada kuasa pedang, mereka akan menjadi makanan anjing hutan.
11 Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.
Tetapi raja akan bersukacita di dalam Allah; setiap orang, yang bersumpah demi Dia, akan bermegah, karena mulut orang-orang yang mengatakan dusta akan disumbat.
