Psalms 63
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh [longed] after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
Mazmur Daud, ketika ia ada di padang gurun Yehuda. Ya Allah, Engkaulah Allahku, aku mencari Engkau, jiwaku haus kepada-Mu, tubuhku rindu kepada-Mu, seperti tanah yang kering dan tandus, tiada berair.
2 Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.
Demikianlah aku memandang kepada-Mu di tempat kudus, sambil melihat kekuatan-Mu dan kemuliaan-Mu.
3 For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.
Sebab kasih setia-Mu lebih baik dari pada hidup; bibirku akan memegahkan Engkau.
4 Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.
Demikianlah aku mau memuji Engkau seumur hidupku dan menaikkan tanganku demi nama-Mu.
5 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise your name.
Seperti dengan lemak dan sumsum jiwaku dikenyangkan, dan dengan bibir yang bersorak-sorai mulutku memuji-muji.
6 Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.
Apabila aku ingat kepada-Mu di tempat tidurku, merenungkan Engkau sepanjang kawal malam, --
7 For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.
sungguh Engkau telah menjadi pertolonganku, dan dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku bersorak-sorai.
8 My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.
Jiwaku melekat kepada-Mu, tangan kanan-Mu menopang aku.
9 But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
Tetapi orang-orang yang berikhtiar mencabut nyawaku, akan masuk ke bagian-bagian bumi yang paling bawah.
10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
Mereka akan diserahkan kepada kuasa pedang, mereka akan menjadi makanan anjing hutan.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
Tetapi raja akan bersukacita di dalam Allah; setiap orang, yang bersumpah demi Dia, akan bermegah, karena mulut orang-orang yang mengatakan dusta akan disumbat.
