Psalms 63

1 God, you are the God whom I [worship]. I greatly desire to be with you like [SIL] a person in a dry hot desert greatly desires [some cool water].

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 want to see you in your temple; I want to see that you are great and glorious.

我在聖殿裏瞻仰過您，為看到您的威能和您的光輝；

3 Your constantly loving [me] is (worth more/more precious) than [my] life, so I [MTY] will [always] praise you.

您的慈愛比生命更為寶貴，我的唇舌要時常稱頌您。

4 I will praise you all the time that I live; I will lift up my hands to you while I pray.

我要一生一世讚美您，我要因您的名把手舉起！

5 [Knowing you satisfies me more than] [IDM, MET] my eating a very big feast, [so] I will praise you while I sing [MTY] joyful songs.

我的心靈好像飽享了膏脂，我要以歡愉的口唇讚美您。

6 While I lie on my bed, I think about you. I think/meditate about you all during the night,

我在床上想起了您，徹夜不眠地默想著您。

7 because you have always helped me, and I sing joyfully knowing that I am protected by you [as a little bird is protected] under [its mother’s] wings [MET].

因為您作了我的助佑，我要在您的羽翼下歡舞。

8 I cling to you; and with your hand/power you protect me.

我的心靈緊緊追隨您，您的右手常常扶持著我。

9 But those who are trying to kill me will [die and] descend into the place of the dead;

那些謀圖陷害我命的人，必將墜落在地下的深層；

10 they will be killed in battles [MTY] and their [corpses] will be eaten by jackals/wild dogs.

他們必為刀劍所殺死，也必然為野犬所分食。

11 But I, the king [of Israel], will rejoice in what God has done; and all those who revere and trust God will praise him, but he will not allow liars to say anything.

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。
