Psalms 63

1 A Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.

١ مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا كَانَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ يَهُوذَا يَا اللهُ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي وَإِيَّاكَ أَطْلُبُ بَاكِراً. عَطِشَتْ إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي وَيَشْتَاقُ إِلَيْكَ جِسْمِي فِي أَرْضٍ قَاحِلَةٍ يَابِسَةٍ لَا مَاءَ فِيهَا،

2 Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.

٢ حَتَّى أُعَايِنَ قُدْرَتَكَ وَمَجْدَكَ، مِثْلَمَا رَأَيْتُكَ فِي مَوْضِعِكَ الْمُقَدَّسِ.

3 For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.

٣ لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ، لِذَلِكَ تُسَبِّحُكَ شَفَتَايَ.

4 Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.

٤ أَحْمَدُكَ عَلَى بَرَكَاتِكَ مَدَى حَيَاتِي، وَبِاسْمِكَ أَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ مُبْتَهِلاً.

5 My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,

٥ تَشْبَعُ نَفْسِي كَأَنَّهَا أَكَلَتْ مِنَ الشَّحْمِ وَالدَّسَمِ، وَيُسَبِّحُكَ فَمِي بِشَفَتَيْنِ مُبْتَهِجَتَيْنِ

6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.

٦ أَذْكُرُكَ عَلَى فِرَاشِي وَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِيكَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ.

7 Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.

٧ لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَوْناً لِي، فَإِنِّي فِي ظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ أُرَنِّمُ مُبْتَهِجاً.

8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.

٨ تَتَعَلَّقُ نَفْسِي بِكَ. يَمِينُكَ تَدْعَمُنِي

9 Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.

٩ أَمَّا طَالِبُو نَفْسِي لِيُهْلِكُوهَا فَسَيَدْخُلُونَ أَسْفَلَ أَعْمَاقِ الأَرْضِ.

10 They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.

١٠ يُسَلَّمُونَ إِلَى حَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَيَضْحَوْنَ مَأْكَلاً لِبَنَاتِ آوَى.

11 But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.

١١ أَمَّا الْمَلِكُ فَيَفْرَحُ بِاللهِ وَيَفْتَخِرُ بِهِ كُلُّ مَنْ يُقْسِمُ (صَادِقاً) لأَنَّ أَفْوَاهَ النَّاطِقِينَ بِالْكَذِبِ تُسَدُّ.
