Psalms 63

1 A psalm of David, when he was in the Judean desert. God, you are my God, I eagerly look for you. I am thirsty for you; all that I am longs for you in this dry, weary, waterless land.

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 I see you in the Temple; I watch your power and glory.

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

3 Your trustworthy love is better than life itself; I will praise you.

quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas labia mea laudabunt te

4 I will thank you as long as I live; I lift up my hands as I celebrate your wonderful character.

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

5 You satisfy me more than the richest food; I will praise you with joyful songs.

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

6 I think of you all night long as I lie on my bed meditating about you.

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

7 For you are the one who helps me; I sing happily from under your wings.

quia fuisti adiutor meus et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo

8 I hold on to you; your strong arms lift me up.

adhesit anima mea post te me suscepit dextera tua

9 Those who are trying to destroy me will go down into the grave.

ipsi vero in vanum quaesierunt animam meam introibunt in inferiora terrae

10 They will be killed by the sword; they will become food for jackals.

tradentur in manus gladii partes vulpium erunt

11 But the king will be happy for what God has done. All who follow God will praise him, but those who tell lies will be silenced.

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