Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. 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;

大衛在猶大曠野的時候，作了這詩。 上帝啊，你是我的上帝， 我要切切地尋求你， 在乾旱疲乏無水之地，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.

我在聖所中曾如此瞻仰你， 為要見你的能力和你的榮耀。

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

因你的慈愛比生命更好， 我的嘴唇要頌讚你。

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

我還活的時候要這樣稱頌你； 我要奉你的名舉手。

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

我在床上記念你， 在夜更的時候思想你； 我的心就像飽足了骨髓肥油， 我也要以歡樂的嘴唇讚美你。

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.

因為你曾幫助我， 我就在你翅膀的蔭下歡呼。

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

我心緊緊地跟隨你； 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.

但那些尋索要滅我命的人 必往地底下去；

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

他們必被刀劍所殺， 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.

但是王必因上帝歡喜。 凡指着他發誓的必要誇口， 因為說謊之人的口必被塞住。
