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].
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 So, I want to see you in your temple; I want to see that you are great and glorious.
Demikianlah aku memandang kepada-Mu di tempat kudus, sambil melihat kekuatan-Mu dan kemuliaan-Mu.
3 Your constantly loving [me] is (worth more/more precious) than [my] life, so I [MTY] will [always] praise you.
Sebab kasih setia-Mu lebih baik dari pada hidup; bibirku akan memegahkan Engkau.
4 I will praise you all the time that I live; I will lift up my hands to you while I pray.
Demikianlah aku mau memuji Engkau seumur hidupku dan menaikkan tanganku demi nama-Mu.
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.
Seperti dengan lemak dan sumsum jiwaku dikenyangkan, dan dengan bibir yang bersorak-sorai mulutku memuji-muji.
6 While I lie on my bed, I think about you. I think/meditate about you all during the night,
Apabila aku ingat kepada-Mu di tempat tidurku, merenungkan Engkau sepanjang kawal malam, --
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].
sungguh Engkau telah menjadi pertolonganku, dan dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku bersorak-sorai.
8 I cling to you; and with your hand/power you protect me.
Jiwaku melekat kepada-Mu, tangan kanan-Mu menopang aku.
9 But those who are trying to kill me will [die and] descend into the place of the dead;
Tetapi orang-orang yang berikhtiar mencabut nyawaku, akan masuk ke bagian-bagian bumi yang paling bawah.
10 they will be killed in battles [MTY] and their [corpses] will be eaten by jackals/wild dogs.
Mereka akan diserahkan kepada kuasa pedang, mereka akan menjadi makanan anjing hutan.
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.
Tetapi raja akan bersukacita di dalam Allah; setiap orang, yang bersumpah demi Dia, akan bermegah, karena mulut orang-orang yang mengatakan dusta akan disumbat.
