Psalms 63

1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

大卫在犹大旷野的时候，作了这诗。 神啊，你是我的 神， 我要切切地寻求你， 在干旱疲乏无水之地，我渴想你； 我的心切慕你。

2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

我在圣所中曾如此瞻仰你， 为要见你的能力和你的荣耀。

3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

因你的慈爱比生命更好， 我的嘴唇要颂赞你。

4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

我还活的时候要这样称颂你； 我要奉你的名举手。

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

我在床上记念你， 在夜更的时候思想你； 我的心就像饱足了骨髓肥油， 我也要以欢乐的嘴唇赞美你。

6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

因为你曾帮助我， 我就在你翅膀的荫下欢呼。

8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

我心紧紧地跟随你； 你的右手扶持我。

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

但那些寻索要灭我命的人 必往地底下去；

10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

他们必被刀剑所杀， 被野狗所吃。

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

但是王必因 神欢喜。 凡指着他发誓的必要夸口， 因为说谎之人的口必被塞住。
