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].

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

我在聖所中曾如此瞻仰你， 為要見你的能力和你的榮耀。

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

因你的慈愛比生命更好， 我的嘴唇要頌讚你。

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

我還活的時候要這樣稱頌你； 我要奉你的名舉手。

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

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].

因為你曾幫助我， 我就在你翅膀的蔭下歡呼。

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

我心緊緊地跟隨你； 你的右手扶持我。

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

但那些尋索要滅我命的人 必往地底下去；

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

他們必被刀劍所殺， 被野狗所吃。

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。
