Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.

達味詩歌，作於飄流在猶大曠野時。 天主，您是我的天主，我急切祈求您；我的靈魂渴慕您，我的肉身切望您，我有如一塊乾旱涸竭的無水田地。

2 So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.

我在聖殿裏瞻仰過您，為看到您的威能和您的光輝；

3 For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.

您的慈愛比生命更為寶貴，我的唇舌要時常稱頌您。

4 So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.

我要一生一世讚美您，我要因您的名把手舉起！

5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;

我的心靈好像飽享了膏脂，我要以歡愉的口唇讚美您。

6 When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.

我在床上想起了您，徹夜不眠地默想著您。

7 For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.

因為您作了我的助佑，我要在您的羽翼下歡舞。

8 My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.

我的心靈緊緊追隨您，您的右手常常扶持著我。

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.

那些謀圖陷害我命的人，必將墜落在地下的深層；

10 They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.

他們必為刀劍所殺死，也必然為野犬所分食。

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

但是君王必要因天主而喜慶；凡以天主宣誓的人，必要自幸，因為說謊的口，必要瘖啞失聲。
