< 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 Idumaeae. 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 exultationis laudabit os meum.
6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
Sic 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 adiutor meus. Et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo,
8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
adhaesit 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 quaesierunt animam meam, introibunt in inferiora terrae:
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 laetabitur in Deo, laudabuntur omnes qui iurant in eo: quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.
