Psalms 63

1 A PSALM OF DAVID, IN HIS BEING IN THE WILDERNESS OF JUDAH. O God, You [are] my God, earnestly I seek You, My soul has thirsted for You, My flesh has longed for You, In a dry and weary land, without waters.

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 I have seen You in the sanctuary, To behold Your strength and Your glory.

我在聖殿裏瞻仰過您，為看到您的威能和您的光輝；

3 Because better [is] Your kindness than life, My lips praise You.

您的慈愛比生命更為寶貴，我的唇舌要時常稱頌您。

4 So I bless You in my life, I lift up my hands in Your Name.

我要一生一世讚美您，我要因您的名把手舉起！

5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips my mouth praises.

我的心靈好像飽享了膏脂，我要以歡愉的口唇讚美您。

6 If I have remembered You on my bed, I meditate on You in the watches.

我在床上想起了您，徹夜不眠地默想著您。

7 For You have been a help to me, And I sing in the shadow of Your wings.

因為您作了我的助佑，我要在您的羽翼下歡舞。

8 My soul has cleaved after You, Your right hand has taken hold on me.

我的心靈緊緊追隨您，您的右手常常扶持著我。

9 And they who seek my soul for desolation, Go into the lower 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 cause him to run on the edge of the sword, They are a portion for foxes.

他們必為刀劍所殺死，也必然為野犬所分食。

11 And the king rejoices in God, Everyone swearing by Him boasts, But the mouth of those speaking lies is 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。
