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.
Psalmus David, cum esset in deserto Idumææ. [Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea; quam multipliciter tibi caro mea!
2 Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa, sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.
3 For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te.
4 Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
Sic benedicam te in vita mea, et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.
5 My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.
6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te.
7 Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
Quia fuisti adjutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.
8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
Adhæsit anima mea post te; me suscepit dextera tua.
9 Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
Ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam: introibunt in inferiora terræ;
10 They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
tradentur in manus gladii: partes vulpium erunt.
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.
Rex vero lætabitur in Deo; laudabuntur omnes qui jurant in eo: quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.]
